HarrySpeakup Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 It wasn't a foul because it was in the penalty area and not good enough to be a penalty Between the edge of the penalty area and the centre circle it's a foul Between the centre circle and the half way line it's a booking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoylandOwl Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 So you’re saying. It’s an interpretation of the rules from the ref, which is only given based on severity and position on the pitch. Nice of him to decide his own rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarrySpeakup Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 It has always been different rules for "fouls" in the penalty area Do you think they would give penalties for the innocuous tiny little pushes and touches that they give without a thought in the middle of the pitch? They should just admit to everyone that there are totally different criteria for a foul to be given in the penaltly area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should just admit to everyone that there are totally different criteria for a foul to be given in the penaltly area I read an article a few years ago that was advocating that not every foul in the penalty area should be a penalty. The logic was that offences like the Palmer one don’t really merit a 75% chance of a goal, whereas someone brought down as they are bearing down on goal does. The argument was that for the Palmer type foul it would just be a direct free kick. In theory it makes some sense, but could you imagine all the controversy bringing in another subjective decision for the refs to make?
