Quote: William Bonney "It wasn't a trip, leg never made contact. It was a slap to the face and was rightfully penalised. Should probably have been sin binned near the end for persistent offside.'"
So sticking your leg out in front of someone doesn't constitute a foul, because he missed?
And if someone throws a punch and misses, that's not a foul either?
You're right about sin-binning him at the end, but he should've been off the pitch already for an attempted trip.
