Afternoon all, a very interesting one for your consideration here - or rather for you to look at and agree with the referee!
This PK 'goal' was disallowed in the MLS last night which caused a lot of questions on Twitter and a good few hours of me answering such questions for people. If you want to, we can discuss the 'foul' but there we are! My opinion (and the LOTG's!) is that the referee was correct* to disallow it and award an IFK here and also that the manager would be correct to sack the two players in question!
* as with every penalty, there is encroachment from both sides. In terms of judging whether the referee was correct its probably best to ignore that failure to apply the laws - everyone else does, all around the world!
