That an ongoing foul which happens outside the box and continues into it should result in a penalty and not a freekick by the letter of the law. There's no such thing as initial contact. Not sure why Clrnc felt the need to bring it up here, but it's not 'my theory' and it's definitely not wrong. We discussed this in the football section a while back. Think it was when Demichelis got sent off in Champions League.
Doesn't belong in this thread anyway and I'm not going to spend time on repeating an old discussion.
