I can’t believe anyone looks at that penalty for Arsenal yesterday and agrees with the decision, I think some people are becoming obsessed with the way the rules are written. That was as simple as it gets, any match played in any era......what Peiters did is 100% a penalty.
Why wasn’t it given? In my opinion refs are so obsessed with themselves and control, the reasons why they become refs in the first place, that faced with criticism like they have been since last Sunday, they group together and double down to prove a point...that actually last sundays decision was in fact correct and we will keep refusing these types of penalties. They’re generally pathetic, power hungry, middle aged ego maniacs.
It doesn’t need a specific interpretation of the laws applied to it, although you could do that either way.....you simply just need to look at that once to know it’s a definite penalty.
