@thetopofmyvoice 4/5 4..(cont). The idea, these days, in a legalistic pursuit of consistency, is to make referee's decision-making as discretion-free as possible. Meaning that ref's are now given a checklist & if an action ticks a box on that list, a foul must be awarded regardless of intent (you see that most clearly in handball - there's no 'accidental handball' any more). In FIFA's ideal world, refereeing would be all done by AI.
