I have been wondering whether Arsenal should start some form of corporal punishment regime.

For example, after maulings we've had this season, 10 lashes to the buttocks could be administered to each of the players involved.

Hit the animals until they learn.

Frankly, r, there are a lot of problems with your plan.

And it's a bit pervy. :-(

[Rich]

in the beginning - and that didn't work out too badly.

Obviously a 1st minute red would be punishable with the maximum 10 lashes as you would be directly responsible for the rout.

as AW had heard some shaman in the Carpathians did this and our entire first team would die of septicaemia.

I mean, we were only two down when Gibbs was sent off the other day, so does the rest of the team bear less responsibility for what happened after that? And that's another thing: do you flog Gibbs who was ****, but wrongly sent off or O-C who should have been sent off?

And is there a danger of the Society of Black Lawyers getting involved given all the flogging of black employees going on? Sol Campbell wouldn't have stood for it.

Mind you, imagine having to flog Sol Campbell's buttocks! :-( You'd be there all day.

to bend over the treatment table and lower his pants.

To answer your question, though. It's really rather simple - The players that remain on the field of play are not spared any punishment. Thus increasing the feeling of discontent towards the man who got sent off.

This should, in turn, discourage players from getting red cards as they would be terrified of their colleagues hating them.

I think the sons of gadaffi, hussein and one of the emirates employed similar tactics.
