I don’t see how you can really, so I’ll leave it at that. I’m still under the notion like if someone’s fouling, if they do it once, you can deem it as an accident. If they do it twice, pause. The other person’s allowed a foul as well... We’re fighting, you kick me in the nuts once. The ref gives you five minutes whatever to recover however long they give.
