How fucked up is that?

If he'd booted the ball into the crowd, he have got a yellow.

Just wants to keep the game moving and concedes a penalty. 

FFS, the world is definitely going mad, where has common sense gone?

We'll have rules for breathing soon.

Not sure when the law changed but that would have been punishable by a caution and an indirect free kick not long ago.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect substitutes to stay off the field of play, though. Why the fuck are they standing there in the first place? 

There are a few countries where subs warm up behind the goal, including Scotland. Makes sense really so as not to interfere with the linesman's line of sight on the opposite touchline, plus I suppose there are a few grounds where there is a bit more space behind the goal than there is along the touchline.

They don’t have to be right on the touchline, though. I’d expect clubs to re-think where their subs warm up if they know they’re running the risk of conceding a penalty.

Behind the opposition goal seems more sensible, though may not go down well.

I agree they shouldn't be "playing the ball", but I don't see that there was anything intentional there. Maybe just a word in his ear would have sufficed, or a yellow if the ref feels he needs to make an example.

No need for a penalty.
