  • Am I being naive when I see stuff like this in the highlights and wonder how/why there’s rarely any intervention from the refs?

  • It was a grapple fest at every set piece.

  • Didn't City get a penalty for someone being grabbed in the box at a corner?

  • As @aggi says, they got a penalty for exactly this from Tielemans grappling with Dias.

  • A feature of football is it's entirely subjective ruleset.

    It's so hard to decide who did what to whom that it's rarely worth the bother unless it "obviously" impedes a goal scoring chance...

    cf. Delaying freekicks, holding the ball for more than 6 seconds, obstruction, handball....
