    Thanks =) turns out it's a technique I'd heard of but didn't know the name.

    It's a very basic military tactic, probably used from "the dan of day", and is still being used. Pin the enemy down from one direction, then whack them from somewhere else.

    When you have taken away their mobility, and you still have yours, you are at an extreme advantage..
    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
