You don't know the law. Pityful.

That doesn't matter! Pulling on him is the foul.

Pulled him. By the shoulder. Gets him off balance. Foul.

I call it went down easily but read again: the law doesn't require a fall. You're not allowed to pull someone's shoulder from behind. It's really that simple.

The foul should be given even if he doesn't fall. It's called impeding an opponent. Law 12.1

Went down because refs don't give it if you don't go down, even if they should.

It is when you're a step back chasing someone.

Why is the defender pulling in him if not to slow him down? A loving caress?

Continues inside the box and that's a penalty according to the law.

So it's fine to pull people back as long as they don't fall?

Binging The Rookie. Sure it's copaganda but at least it doesn't have a cop assaulting a guest at his girlfriend's dinner party and her being fine with it.
