       There’s times where there’s a genuine attempt to play the ball
       and in those situations fine but there are incidents like in
       this game where it’s done to if not injure to deliberately leave
       one on the opponent and I don’t think it should be acceptable
       but in todays game it is, if I had my way there’d be a lot I’d
       change about the rules and enforcement but that’s not going to
       happen

       It seems to me that referees clearly know the wording of the
       laws. However, both those who write the laws and those who apply
       them seem to have little understanding as to what actually
       constitutes a dangerous challenge and this particularly applies
       to challenges to the head, which are treated incredibly lightly
       in my view.  Both Rugby codes are much stronger on penalising
       challenges to the head and neck with automatic red cards for
       most body to head contacts, and of course for challenges which
       tip over the opponent so they land on their head / neck.  Today
       I saw a goalkeeper punch the neck of a forward as he then barged
       into the back of that forward whilst the ball was several feet
       away - no foul was given and there was no referral from VAR to
       review the challenge.  Will it take a fatality or paralysing
       injury to bring about change?  Said goalkeeper has previous for
       injuring a player causing a very long period of being unfit to
       play.  In both incidents not even a foul was given.

       Quite right Microscopist.  Pickford got away with it again
       today.  Another situation when you wonder what the point of VAR
       is.
