There is phrase which is often used by authorities when a rule has been stretched to its limit without quite being broken it is referred to as being ‘against the spirit of the game’ and being found to have acted thus can result in official admonition or even punishment.
For me this penalty decision means the authorities themselves have acted ‘against the spirit of the game’ , and not for the first time since VAR has been introduced either.
I have already come to believe that VAR is a poor idea being poorly administered. This decision merely reinforces my growing antipathy to its continued use.
It’s an aberration that should be removed as soon as possible from our sport.
