Speaking as a neutral, I thought Chelsea edged the BAFTAs - Jorginho especially - but both teams antics detracted from the enjoyment of the game which was unnecessary and a pity.
I seemed to have touched a nerve.
I was referring more to the rolling around after contact with the purpose of getting the opponents booked or sent off that now pervades the game.
It was the excellence of the ref during the CL Final which made this apparent as some players went from being in the prone position with apparently career threatening injuries to sprinting back into their defensive position over the course of a few seconds.
One tends to lie very still when properly injured.
