How does the ref make those decisions in open play?

In open play ref is watching ball and basically 2 or 3 players around ball. At corner there are probably 18-20 players in pen area and potentially and in practice all of them are pushing, pulling, grabbing, obstructing all at the same time. If player A grabs and pulls shirt of player B and player B tries to get free by pushing Player A away. Foul is committed by player A first but if ref only sees the push by Player B then he gives foul against player B.

In the first week there will be some wrong decisions.
After that defenders will be scared of an almost deffo penalty and attackers scared of straight free kick to defending team.

If any change, put the lino behind the net. But that involves lino actually making a decision.
