Don't think he was getting the ball though. But who cares |  |

Doesn't matter, any foul in the area is a pen whether the player is near the ball or not. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Irrelevant. |  |

| Never a pen on 13:49 - Apr 19 with 1095 views | Hugoagogo_Reborn | He pulls him from behind and twists his body round. Hirst has to go down, as he has been pulled completely off balance. It doesn't have to be strong contact, if he unfairly pulls the player to the ground. Pen for me. |  |

I thought the ball was too far away from Hirst to make it a penalty but happy to be wrong |  | |  |

What part of a penalty require the ball to be nearby? |  |

He was, but I think that is what stopped a red coming out. |  |

Can you point me to the rule that says the fouled player has to be playing the ball? |  |

Have you seen what goes on at every corner these days?. It was soft, but we'll take it. |  | |  |
| Never a pen on 14:00 - Apr 19 with 816 views | Nutkins_Return | I would say technically a pen for the pull back but very lucky to get those. I would say on balance that evens up the one not given in the other game. |  |

Fair point. Hirst made the point well in his interview |  | |  |

Why? Because Egeli is crap and I thought the penalty was soft but was happy to take it? |  | |  |
| Never a pen on 14:03 - Apr 19 with 728 views | baxterbasics | It should *always* be a pen when a defender puts hands on/around a player in the box. Or defenders free kick if the other way. More of this please! It might stop happening then. |  |

Before the ball is in play at corners it isn't a penalty which is why referees often blow up, talk to players and then get the corner taken. There is an inherent advantage to the attacking side with the grappling at corners because a foul by the attacker is a free kick whereas one by the defender is a penalty. Often it is 6 of one and half a dozen of the other and the referee either ignores it or gives a the free kick. So, yes, I have seen it. How is that relevant to a defender holding an attacking back in open play when the ball is in play? Or are you saying that, because of grappling at corners, the rules shouldn't be applied at all? |  |
