To be fair Tommy has done alright tonight
Not bad at all.
Well... the penalty aside.
bit of a ridiculous decision though, if thats the benchmark from which contact at set pieces is judged as a foul, there would be 10 pens a game
Not really. Don't want a penalty to be given against you? Don't wrap your arms around somebody in the penalty area. Sorted.
But isn't it one of those where you won't get the decision every time?
Are there scenarios where you do get the decision every time?
I don't think that "but other people do it too" has ever been a solid defence for this sort of thing.
