Are you saying that’s the same thing?

It obviously isn’t, it’s just argumentative. Sense says that is a completely different set of circumstances. If the subs foot had been a couple of inches further back the ball would have crossed the line and nothing would have been said, he just instinctively and rather stupidly stopped it prematurely. It was a brain fart and should have been treated as such.

But then you have to create a whole subset of rules to allow for mitigating factors for subs who aren’t on the pitch interfering with live play. That sounds a bit stupid tbh.

Refs interpret rules all the time. Not knowing that sounds a bit stupid tbh.

Yeah but there’s no room for interpretation in the rules for punishing the same infraction differently. It’s specified.
