Jersey Pulls from Behind

[outside!]

It is a crap tactic, but its safer than a tackle, trip, elbow or a two handed push from behind which most often aren't given red cards either. I actually prefer a super quick wrist tug (pull down) than a jersey pull, its a lot more discreet and less likely to be called.

I agree that tackles from behind are worse, but sometimes the defender is only capable of tackling from behind because they grabbed a big handful of jersey first. I think it would be funny if a team had tear-away jerseys that would leave the defender holding a torn jersey and see how they try to dispose of it. Note, the term defender refers to any member of the team that does not have the ball.
