Left mid and left wing here.

I expected to be awarded penalties for over aggressive play outside of rules anywhere on the field.

Especially in the box.

I've always been from the camp who believes that you really, really, need to earn a pk. That you have to really do something nasty in order to get a pk. I respect those officials that don't want to influence the game more than they should and they swallow their whistle. The game should be decided by the footy players and not by the call of the official. Pks are too powerful, so they should only be given in extreme moments.

Pregnant or not pregnant.

Black or white.

Rules are rules in the communist sport of soccer.

Consistency will never be established otherwise and they wouldn't be rules at all, truthfully.

Soft foul in the box or hard foul in the box.

Tiny foul with half a dive in the box or Massively extreme kick to the chest in the box.

Those are black and white in my book also

But nonetheless. Foul is a foul.

The extent certainly would warrant a card. But a foul grants the team a free kick or a penalty kick if within the box.
