It's just blatantly bent now

Like the Palace free kick the other week there is no way that would have been disallowed if it had gone in at the other end.

        What?! (Other Football) - SCC 28, Aug 30, 13:23:57
        
        So treading on toes/ feet is always a foul? (Other Football) - Nelsons final flanel, Aug 30, 13:35:16
        
        only if you are a "big club" and "big club" is defined by the var officials (Other Football) - Tombs, Aug 30, 13:41:16
        
        In this case clearly (Other Football) - SCC 28, Aug 30, 13:40:50
        
        That’s very difficult to prove isn’t it? X (n/m) (Other Football) - Nelsons final flanel, Aug 30, 13:49:05

        The problem is rules that rely on intent (Other Football) - SimonOTBC, Aug 30, 14:12:49
        
        I think intent is used far too much by people (Other Football) - SCC 28, Aug 30, 14:14:24
        
        Well yes, but if the test is whether something is deliberate or not (Other Football) - SimonOTBC, Aug 30, 14:15:43
        
        Deliberately fouling usually totally irrelevant though (n/m) (Other Football) - SCC 28, Aug 30, 14:23:05
        
        Don’t think intentional features in the wording of it being a foul (Other Football) - SimonOTBC, Aug 30, 14:24:10
        
        Exactly 👍 (n/m) (Other Football) - SCC 28, Aug 30, 14:28:05

        It was obviously accidental (n/m) (Other Football) - paulg, Aug 30, 14:09:50
        
        It wasn’t premeditated no (Other Football) - SCC 28, Aug 30, 14:12:47
        
        What actually is the required mental element (if there is one)? (n/m) (Other Football) - paulg, Aug 30, 14:17:38
