WHEN my dad was alive, for many years he used to enter a competition called Spot the Ball – without any success I may add.
If he was here today he would have a job to spot the penalty, never mind the ball, because even with VAR and touchline monitors nobody can tell 100 per cent if it is a penalty or not. I suggest scrapping the lot and going back to proper football.
Let the referee decide there and then if a penalty I think they call it using your common sense.
