Refs and their assistants do need to pay far more attention at set pieces, because there really is a trend of CBs going to ground on any contact holding their head to get the ref to blow up for an entirely non existent foul or clash of heads so they don't have to defend a second ball in when they are no longer as well set to - To me it's definitely something too many coaches are instructing their CBs to engage in and it is a nonsense, at present officials give 4 or 5 or more free kicks every game for this form of gamesmanship and play acting
