Having an argument with a gobshite Spurs fan in work who says ref was right to give a penalty.
I always thought a freekick was from where the initial contact was made, can anyone point me to a rule confirming this?

Can remember a few years back when we got a freekick where the initial contact was outside the box but the player went down in the area (thinking Micah for some reason).
Then in the same season we conceded a pen where it began outside the area but went into it before the player went down, can't remember who.
The ref's make it up as they go along with some fucking decisions!
It was outside the area, I can understand why the ref gave it as he's behind play. What I can't understand is why the Lino didn't see it.
That aside the ref was fucking shite anyways so he was bound to give it, I said after Negredo got booked for his first foul yet Fibreglass was on his 3rd without a warning that one of ours would have been sent off. It DM wouldn't have done that I could have seen Kolorov being sent off later in the game.
