1 year agoIf that’s the case, then punish everything in the box. Referees already apply selective reasoning to penalties, as ‘contact not warranting a penalty’ is always used to justify decisions. If it would be a free kick outside of the box (like Hojlunds grab on Rodri) then punish it accordingly.
Why? It’s a penalty, so the game can be stopped while the injured player receives treatment, if they want to play on they can take the penalty. If they don’t want to take it then the person that takes their place off the bench can take the penalty.
