It was a penalty all day long, not harsh, a blatant block and then thrown to the ground.Not all fouls in the box are given as penalties though. It would be harsh if it was given IMO.

well they should be. Just because rules aren't applied properly doesn't mean we should ignore blatant fouls.

My opinion was not based on the kind of foul, but about how far Otamendi was away from the ball.

you might as well have based it on the number of pigeons nesting within a square mile of the ground, for the relevance it has.

I base it on the simple principle that penalties should be given for obstructing (unlawfully) a goal scoring opportunity. In this case, from what I remember, there was no way Otamendi would have got the ball even without the foul.

like I said, count the pigeons.

So if he had punched Ottamendi in the face and run away laughing it would still not be a penalty because Otter would not have got the ball ?

a foul is a foul wherever it takes place on the field. The rules don't differ, what differs is the consequence if you break them.
