So it's a missed incident.
I do think it's a clear and obvious error as well.
But again, you need the replay to see that.
I don't blame the officials on the field because with 16 players in a very close proximity, it's impossible to keep your eye on everything.
So on this occasion, the video was looked at.
It was seen that there was, in Darren England's opinion,
a foul on the goalkeeper, so he recommended an on-field review.
Well, my idea would be for attacking players not to be allowed...
in the six yard box until the corner has been taken thus creating space between the attackers and the defenders so it would stop the grappling and also it would stop the attacking team loading the six yard box with six or eight players crowding around the goalkeeper and it would make it much easier to officiate it would be more attractive it wouldn't detract from the goals I think because the attacking players would effectively get a run on the
sort of individual tussles, if you like, actually started before the ball was in play.
So they're inadmissible in law.
You can't give a penalty or a defensive free kick because it's happening before the ball is in.
So my idea would be, like a penalty,
attackers have to stay outside the box until the penalty is taken.
Like a goal kick, attackers have to be outside the penalty area before a goal kick is taken.
And I think it's a simple tweak just to change the law to say that they're not allowed in the six-yard box until the ball is in play.
But the main thing is that we wouldn't have attacking teams placing eight players under the crossbar and the in-swinger going under the crossbar.
and it's carnage, it's impossible to police, and that would therefore lead to fewer VAR interventions as well, because there wouldn't be so many things to look at like there were yesterday.
They would have also looked at Trossard.
Trossard possibly was engaged with Pablo as well.
