If there’s contact and the player is impeded then he should have a right to go down imo or the player in the wrong gains and probably prevents a goal scoring chance. An attacker shouldn’t have to jump over legs, avoid tackles, change direction etc. If the defender messes up then that’s his fault. Unfortunately you get players leaving a foot or leg in or connecting it with a defender’s not making a challenge and not impeding the attacker. What a bonkers post. Football is a contact sport.

It’s so fast now a nanosecond makes all the difference. It is not Sunday division 7 or George Best in the ‘60s riding leg scything. It’s unfortunate that it does but it’s so fast now it has to because bad defending would get away with it and goals or goal scoring chances would be stopped by poor defending whether accidental or intentional.
