Changing the wording to significant contact as suggested above would be a move in the right direction, but TBH is the opposite direction to where the game is going

Ok, change the wording to significant contact. It does not really address my point. bhlloy said that there are at least three fouls on every penalty. I ask two questions:

1. Should whatever players are currently doing that are deemed illegal on penalties actually be fouls? If they should not be considered fouls, change the law so they are not against the law.

2. If they are deemed against the law and it can be seen, do we want the match official and by extension VAR to call it and give the penalties?
