The foul was outside the box. Then KWP launches himself through the air, and maybe makes minor contact with March's leg again in mid-air, but that is so debateable that it can't be a clear and obvious error enough to make it a penalty. No chance. Free kick outside was the right decision.

I have the different view and that's the beauty of football. First player-to-player contact was outside and that wasn't a foul, imho. The contact that brought the player down, imho, was inside. Pen was the right decision, imho.

The defender is behind the man meaning he's running the risk of having the decision not go his way. So it proved. VAR wasn't ruling on the foul, just whether foul contact was in or out.

The above doesn't defend David Coote. He is still crap.

As soon as he put his arm in Walker-Peters back, W-P throws himself forward to try and land inside the box - the secondary contact happens when he's already falling so that can't have been the foul.

How daft is a sport where they can't even agree between them how it should be played! :LOL:

It's two separate codes with two different sets of rules, yet both codes know what their rules are week in week out. (y)

Football is apparently one game with one set of rules but no one knows what they are from one week to another. :rolleyes:

You were right; you can't really compare football with rugby as one knows what it's doing, regardless of the code, & the other one doesn't.

I agree with this (funnily enough;)) The first view, from the main camera, initial reaction was the ref got it spot on. However when you see the second view from the front, I'm not so sure now. Yes the initial contact is outside the box but KWP doesn't start going over until the second contact, which is either right on the line or inside.
