I've noticed for at least the last two seasons that the foul shy law is virtually redundant anyway. Incursion on the pitch and simply "chucking it" are common. It seems our referees decide which laws to enforce and which to ignore. I'm afraid we have to accept that we were extremely unlikely to get anything out of that game.
It was effectively a case of "keep playing until they score or are given a penalty".
JBA is well out of it.
