Ok so everytime a defender slides the ball out with a challenge for a corner its a penalty.
Better prepare for 18 penalties next match
Ya beat me to it!!
If you get the ball first in a tackle, it's not a foul.
If you get the player first in a tackle, it's a foul.
There is nothing in the rules which says you have to hit the entire ball, half the ball, a quarter of the ball etc..etc..!
Sagna got the ball BEFORE he got RVP. No Foul.
The ref gave it. Penalty.
I think Yorkies argument relates to a player using dangerous play (e.g High foot) to kick the ball first and then hitting the player second. That IS a foul!
It's all about opinions...!!
