Present were 30+ referees ranging from Level 2 - 7. In a show of hands, only 2 members would have shown a red card for DOGSO - all others would have cautioned for a reckless tackle. Although, the incident may fufil the criteria for DOGSO and therefore justify a sending off, it seems clear that Attwell's interpretation was flawed hence the FA's decision to rescind the red card on appeal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4715494982371884149.post-27751196731694652462011-12-10T18:18:57.450+08:002011-12-10T18:18:57.450+08:00good question :D
I can report how German referees ...good question :D<br />I can report how German referees normally behave in such situations like Attwell had to deal with:<br />Yellow Card. No red card. The problem is, obviously, the FA has not been content with his decision, hence, they resolved the punishment of Cahill, a clear sign?<br />There was a similar occasion in Villarreal-Napoli. DOGSO is one of the most difficult topics in refereeing, I really like this because without it, there would be no room to discuss..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4715494982371884149.post-10569244856572116122011-12-07T16:45:33.423+08:002011-12-07T16:45:33.423+08:00Technically, both incidents fulfill the criteria f...Technically, both incidents fulfill the criteria for denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity to an opponent. So why did only one of these two EPL Referees show a red card? :-)hkrefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14758566148041958225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4715494982371884149.post-31296679038893002092011-12-07T16:42:41.940+08:002011-12-07T16:42:41.940+08:00Thank you Niclas E for your comments on this blog....Thank you Niclas E for your comments on this blog. For this one, it is interesting that you put emphasis on "the ball is not under the striker's full control". This is where some Referees debate whether the Interpretations from FIFA actually means this. For clarity, here is the Interpretation from FIFA:<br /><br />Referees should consider the following circumstances when deciding whether to send off a player for denying a goal or an obvious goalscoring opportunity:<br />o the distance between the offence and the goal<br />o the likelihood of keeping or gaining control of the ball<br />o the direction of play<br />o the location and number of defenders<br />o the offence which denies an opponent an obvious goalscoring opportunity may be an offence that incurs a direct free kick or an indirect free kick<br /><br /><br />The Interpretation that makes sense is whether the attacker, had he not been fouled, would be likely to gain control of the ball and therefore to have a goalscoring opportunity. A player does not necessarily have to be initially in control of the ball, but rather the Interpretation allows for the likelihood of a player gaining control of the ball to have a scoring chance had there been no foul on that player.hkrefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14758566148041958225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4715494982371884149.post-14551684206210995352011-12-06T23:34:02.396+08:002011-12-06T23:34:02.396+08:00to my mind both situations are no red cards, the f...to my mind both situations are no red cards, the first one perhaps, the second one? Not really.<br /><br />1) the ball is not under the striker's full control, however, the situation is quite promising for him. Certainly rather a red than yellow.<br /><br />2) crucial for a red card:<br />- position<br />- angle<br />- is the ball in the striker's full control?<br /><br />no, no and noAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
