@HACKETTREF This isn’t simulation, or attempting to deceive the referee - theres clear contact.
Whilst I don’t think this is a penalty, it’s important to remember the England player is entitled to their position on the pitch.
@VehementMan@RefereeSouth One of the English FIFA AR is in our local Ref association, I’ll ask him next meeting.
Unfortunately it’s possible that MO and AT wouldn’t be able to referee the final of Argentina get to the final due to fifa considering that the Falklands conflict still ongoing.
@Firefarm77@DavidsonEw52988@RobDorsettSky Show me where intent is referenced in the laws when it comes to serious foul play and seriously endangering the safety of an opponent.
I’ll wait.
@Dropiscracked@DaleJohnsonBBC You realise that the laws don’t take into consideration intent when it comes to serious foul play, and seriously endangering the safety of an opponent?
Why - because referees are not mind readers.
@DaleJohnsonBBC@Marc_YNWA Can’t see how they can take that into consideration when they’ve appointed 3 Argentinian VAR match officials to the France v Morocco game 😂
@footycorner_tv@refsupportuk No, it’s got nothing to do with what was said.
The laws say if it’s during a confrontation, anything said behind the hand can be a red card.
