I've played with people like that too, and it can be even worse in pick-up soccer. I play physical, but not dirty. Some don't know the difference, and physical play from me leads to dirty play from frustrated opponents. Those are former pick-up playing partners. I don't play in pick-up games where I have to watch my back lest I be permanently removed from playing ball. It's not why I play, and it's not fun!
