[0762]

Any player whose arm is hit by a football from close range when his back is actually turned away from play, and he has no idea where the ball is directed, is exceptionally unlucky to have a pk called against him TBF!! Indeed, the unintentional nature of this kinda offence really deems such a pk award as farcical. IMO the rule and interpretation covering this type of pk offence should be reviewed by FIFA and simplified to cut out the ambiguity covering said pk offence esp after observing countless farcical pk awards like this one (not just in Scottish footie btw) in the past 12 months or more.
