I don’t think that’s what he intended

It’s far from cut and dry, same as these other incidents as intent is key, and it’s subjective.

However, when contact is made, intent isn’t the only determining factor as force becomes relevant.

Pedro is very lucky. Don’t think that makes Kenny unlucky, but highlights that subjectivity is very much still part of refereeing, as it should be.
