Right so you can shove someone over and not make any contact with the ball whatsoever and people think that's not a foul....

It's not called all season all in the name of "letting things flow". Of course it's a foul, but is it really a clear error when refs have been letting those go all season by design?

Course it is. He doesn't even play the ball lol
They've backed themselves into an unnecessary corner, the refs aren't sticking to their own remit.

If that's a foul every game would stop and start every 30 seconds.

I think if it was a race to the ball then that wouldnt be given but you can see its a shove from behind as Eriksen is about to kick the ball... he was in motion, perhaps even on one foot. That would have been given previously this season. Phsyicality is one thing but blind sided shove with hands out is another. We cant say that yesterday with Mitchell the shove was a foul and then say this one with Eriksen wasnt.

I must be going mad because I thought Brighton's penalty was given for similar. Need to see it again.
