If that's true then they can basically give a foul for any contact. Or not, as is often case for actual real fouls. Which I suppose is the latitude they want for the new cupboard army.
I can accept the ref, at the speed of the game, giving that either way. I cannot accept a stoppage to play, and a bunch of law specialists, with access to all the angles and slomo, concluding that is a game changing statistically lumpy foul.
I kicked someone in the bollocks with the follow through of a crossfield ball last night. They were on my blind side, and tried to charge the pass down. I didn't even see them until I was trying to send their testicles over to the left wing.
Apparently it should have been a foul, sending off, and three game ban.
As it was we all just laughed.
It's a contact game. If you are kicking on the field of play, you are sometimes going to catch people.
