Re: Normal Service Resumed

It's simple really... In the past, for a penalty to be awarded, there had to have been a foul of some kind. However, these days, the laws have changed and now a "special" kind of contact (plus 3 other criteria being fulfilled) are needed. We can ignore the hundreds of instances of "regular" contact ...
