That argument would last a nano second in a court of law. Every single act a human does is ‘intentional’ one way or another. The wording is to ‘intentionally shake the post’ which he didn’t do. Sure it shook, and I would have paid the free against him, but he did NOT INTENTIONALLY shake the post. So we can’t claim letter of the law, just the spirit of the law, which actually supersedes the letter and a free should have been paid.He intentionally climbed the post. The post shook.
Pretty simple free kick.
Also incredibly easy to fix going forward. Added rule: You cant climb the post. Sorted.
