The referee cannot ever know the INTENT of a player, but he call always rule on the ACTIONS of the player. Start calling all of these no matter the perceived intent and this kind of cr@p will stop. Until the officials get sufficient scrotal content to start penalizing players for this stuff, the players will continue to do it and potentially career ending injuries will be the result.<br /><br />Straight red, send him off. Make his team play short, make him miss the proscribed number of games and play will become more careful.Anonymous 23, Marchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4715494982371884149.post-45407053853199475122013-04-01T00:40:47.931+08:002013-04-01T00:40:47.931+08:00Thank you Anon.

The FA, by not taking retrospective action, has demonstrated that it does not protect players, support match officials nor safeguard the image of the game. The FA has acted irresponsibly by using a "technicality" to avoid taking retrospective action against Callum McManaman. <br /><br />McManaman himself may well be in danger if players and fans believe that he has not been properly sanctioned for his shocking challenge.hkrefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14758566148041958225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4715494982371884149.post-20894430058163975392013-03-30T10:57:51.330+08:002013-03-30T10:57:51.330+08:00Has to be a send off.

I don't understand how an official viewing the play doesn't at least call the foul.<br />Sometimes wonder about what ref's see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4715494982371884149.post-2980475325356051302013-03-25T01:24:36.471+08:002013-03-25T01:24:36.471+08:00Thank you Anon.
