?Taylor does not see the ball change direction and sees that Kevin, while making the challenge, touches the ball with his foot. At the touch of the ball, Kevin might also touch Saka?s knee, but I believe this contact is normal contact in the act of playing the ball"
Mark Clatternburg..... see the way he implies the contact happens at the same time, and the use of the word 'might' regarding contact with the knee.
This is the kind of rank dishonesty you are dealing with. It is perfectly obvious to anyone with eyes that there is clear contact with the knee, and that it happens before contact with the ball.
I could live with an argument that it isnt a penalty. But contorting the facts like this shows that the entire thing is a waste of time. Referees are quite simply incompetent and dishonest. They make it up as they go along.
