Regardless of what the rules are and who's broken them, there is also a critical point here which is being missed.
Quite simply, the magic of football is being killed. That last minute winner to keep you up might not do any more. At any point, a rule that's broken for whatever reason can push you or a rival down more so than the points you'd expect to win over a month or 2. You can't trust your eyes anymore. You can't take the result after 90 minutes as "the truth".
The relegation battle this year won't be decided by Luton and Burnle getting huge wins. It won't be decided by Dyches tactics or Calvert-Lewin finding form either. It won't be decided by Forests purchases. It will be decided by faceless lawyers wielding points deductions that go up and down at a whim.
I'm really getting to the point now with VAR and off-field points deductions are just as important as any striker. They are killing the game.
Football used to be about goals and the players on the pitch. It's getting to the point where it's not any more.
