So, Cavani is brought down on the edge of the box.
Dean gives a penalty.
VAR takes an age and overturns it for a DFK.
I am trying to find where in the book it says that when a foul is given the restart is taken at the point of first contact - the very first touch of foot on foot.
I can't find it.
Of course, I can find reference to holding - if it starts outside and continues inside it's a PK.
So, I just don't get this decision-making.
In this case, there is loads of contact on the line and inside the area. The first contact continues and is forceful on the line, there is more contact with the foot, leg, thigh inside the box.
Dean has called a penalty on the field.
I think:
a) this is a mistake in law (just because the very first contact is outside the box why should the foul be spotted there?)
b) it's not a clear and obvious error
c) it's re-refereeing the game
d) it's a waste of time
e) with that much illegal contact in the box, football expects a PK
