But it was simultaneous

And not reckless.

I think it's the var-ification of life I hate - minute analysis of whether A touched B a nanosecond before the ball .... I think the rules should be capable of being applied without 10 minutes and a team of analysts. Which is why in my universe something like that was nowhere near a penalty
