AndyinLiverpool Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I have come to the conclusion that I no longer have any idea what a foul is. Two players running for a high ball run into each other and it's a penalty. I'm lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting to the ball first is enough. Has to be. If you start trying to judge degrees of contact with the ball, (sufficient, insufficient, where did it go...) the law becomes impossible to consistently apply. No penalty. Anyway, I guess we'll have to agree to differ. Just know that you're wrong.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as it's not reckless, dangerous or so on, yes. How many times a game do you see two players challenge for the ball and have contact after the ball has gone? How many of those are fouls?

'Careless, reckless or using excessive force'. That's all a matter of opinion. It's what the referee is there for. Or at least that's what they used to be for before VAR. The whole emphasis of Law 12 is not the result of the tackle but its execution. Winning the ball first does not negate the manner of the challenge.
