As a striker, I do as well. In some cases, the offenders are tugging so much that the officials are really given no option but to call it. Yesterday, the linesman was able to see the extent to which Giroud was having his shirt tugged (i.e. one could no longer read 'Fly Emirates' as it was so stretched) while the ref couldn't as the players were side-to-side and had their backs to the ref. I will admit that the linesman was probably at fault for the corner because I think it most likely came off of Ramsey.
