Look. I'm not saying I would have given that.
The point I'm trying to make is that if the ref had given that, I don't think we could have pointed at the lawbook and said he was wrong. In fact, in light of yesterday's Iran decision, I think we might have been forced to conclude that the evidence suggests that the laws as written suggest that the ball hitting arms at that height justify a penalty decision. That's a fault of the poor writing of the laws and I think this tournament, and the use of referees who get to view replays make it clear that it badly needs clarifying.
