That's not correct.It wasn't genuine but is was an attempt. That's all the law asks for.
Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offender is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.) the offending player must be sent off.

For some reason, I thought the phrase "genuine attempt" was in the laws (I only just realised that it isn't). I'm curious to know who first started using the term "genuine attempt" so I can slap them.I believe you may have missed my attempt at sarcasm probably because it wasnt a genuine attempt.
I have in many occasions opposed the use of the word 'genuine' to describe this. The law doesn't use it, so let's just stick to the word 'attempt' without qualifying it.
