If you’re specifically paying reference to “industrial challenges going unpunished against Derby”… there are no rules!

If it was football generally, then sorry, I can’t help!  

Watching Everton v Burnley and seen some 80’s school football tackles unpunished,wondered what had changed.

There's been a change in approach to officiating from upon high to try and limit the number of "soft" fouls given. It's mentioned here https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/liverpool-fc-tactics-longform/2021/8/11/22619144/premier-league-2021-22-official-var-officiating-changes-explained-in-depth-positives-negatives (perhaps not the best source but it's the clearest explanation I could find with a quick search). 

Right now I think we are seeing something of an overcorrection due to that approach where referees in general are letting too much go and in turn some teams are really exploiting it.
