Spitting is disgusting I hate it , the only reasoning would be pro athletes produce lots of mucous from extraordinary lung activity.

If Borja aimed at another player I can't defend him but if every player was retrospectively banned for 6 games every time they gobbed , then there wouldn't be many players left .

After the Kenny bullshit I'm half expecting more ridiculous decisions before the end of the season.

Why should we be surprised. The top officials are a bunch of amateurs who have never played the professional game as are referees, including VAR officials, and other officials controlling referees. Until we get ex-players involved at all levels nothing will change

The problem there is, that unfortunately most players cheat and try to con the officials every chance they have. Feigning injuries, rolling around on the pitch, falling over at the slightest contact.
Would they improve the existing set up?
I think not.

If an ex-player could not tell the difference between contact and a dive then there is no hope for the game. On top of that you have amateur officials changing the rules of the game every 5 minutes and making matters worse rather than better and don't even ask my views on UEFA and FIFA!! We don't have amateur Coaches or Players in the professional game - why do we tolerate officials and administrators who have never played the game.

Agree to differ on this one.
Most professional footballers I have come in contact with struggle to even know the rules of the game.

Anyone watching the Arsenal v Man Utd game. Retrospective red card incoming for Hojlund for identical shielding that McLean did? Somehow I doubt it
 
Here's what I think is the crucial paragraph in the FA's Rules and Regulations. The paragraph was a 2013 extension to the rule governing the possibility of retrospective action, introducing its application in two new situations, the second of which is the relevant one:
" -- and secondly, in off-the-ball incidents where one or more match official did see the players coming together, but the match officials’ view was such that none of them had the opportunity to make a decision on an act of misconduct that took place within that coming together."
