Even if you think of it that way, Arsenal's been getting with doing this for ages. Suddenly it's a foul when it goes against them. Ignoring stuff like Rice bearhugging Mavro as well in the same corner
This is the end result of continued weakness of the officials on 'soft' fouls
Yeah I don't disagree with the idea that it happens all the time because it does. The problem comes down to the inconsistent refereeing and the feckless governing bodies who refuse to clamp down on shit one way or the other. Either all of the bullshit that happens in the box is ok or none of it is. None of this fluctuation from game to game, week to week. It's the same with rules not being applied properly like yellows for simulation. The rules are clear, but yet and still you'll get one player booked for every 30 instances of simulation. And different referees using their subjective interpretations of the law leading to inconsistent calls doesn't help to alleviate the frustration we all feel.
I don't know what the answer is but it's obvious the PGMOL et al. aren't fit for purpose.
