No, he needs to maintain control of himself so as not to endanger another player.

So you think this should have stayed a red then? https://streamable.com/0e54b5

Exactly. That red was clearly the wrong decision and rightfully rescinded after

 

[Nitefly]

So in the next round we’re going up against:

Dr. Malcolm Keogh?

That’s nay the same though is it, that’s on his calf rather than right into his knee. The refs have specific guidance on high studs leading to potential knee injuries or leg breaks.

I think the bloke was focusing on kicking the ball to be fair, much like the video.

Do they? Because a player was sent off for Wales for catching a player in the ankle. Perhaps you have a diagram for where players are allowed to make contact?

Yes, it doesn’t matter though when it comes to that specific rule.

The Ukrainian player should get a bit more blame.

Did you never get that when playing football? an attacking player closing down a defender clearing the ball and they'd get crunched or a some studs in the legs?

I would imagine refs would as part of the guidance they receive on what they consider the use of excessive force leading to endangering player safety. I would imagine in that case the ref felt it was a risk of ankle breaking perhaps.

 

[Brookert]

Slow motion replays always make these things look way worse. It's the same in Rugby.

So in the split second between a ball coming towards them we're expecting defenders to not only remember a visual chart but do the physics calculations to work out where them and their opponents limbs are going to end up in the coming seconds.

Don't be daft, they just need to be aware that they shouldn't be putting other players at risk with their play.

You've literally said it's bad for a player to hit the ankle, fine to hit the calf but then bad to hit the knee. Do you realise how insane that is? How can you possibly call something reckless when it's so unbelievably specific.

I never called it reckless.

 

[Shamikebab]

Yes you did?

He didn’t endanger the other players safety.

 

[Jokester]

Yes you did?

Law 12 - Serious Foul Play.

Quote me where it says reckless.

 

[Shamikebab]

I was talking about the words you used. Which part of the law do you think he broke specifically that wasn't broken by the guy that you claimed isn't a red card?
