There is nothing in the laws about "last man". What constitutes a goal scoring opportunity is actually quite closely defined and there is no reason why it couldn't be used to define what is or isn't a penalty under this idea.
I was going to add unless the player can run with the ball himself or similar. I was thinking about a situation where the only reasonable attacking option is the pass. I tend to agree that the ref has made a mistake but I didn't see the incident myself so it is possible that he didn't - he felt...

Quite a few of those would be considered bad things by many people - Jerusalem embassy, Paris agreement, conservative judges, Clinton defeat - and I don't really see how Trump's recently enacted tax plans (not universally considered a good thing) can be cited as a reason for the three previous...
