[Football] Salah or Zaha

[GT49er]

"had contact"

It's a ridiculous modern football phrase invented by pundits, should be filed alongside "game time".

..... and alongside 'tackle' and '50/50 ball'........... both sadly now red card offences.

bit more than "contact" for the penalty today, clipped him then knocked his leg no where near the ball. first would have been harsh, second was a foul.

the contrast with our friend from Croydon, he'd have collapsed theatrically on the first touch.
