Both the same game in the second half. I actually liked the ref and his communication with the players through the game. “Watch the elbows” “Straight up, straight up” (every header) “no foul, keep playing” etc.NickName from your Tackling and Handball threads, it looks like you had an interesting weekend. Was the same Referee Crew involved in both incidents?
@NickName : would be interesting if you could post the decisions for both of your clips after a bit of time has passed to allow more opinions.
The new rule about playing the ball just make this so much more confusing not only for spectators but for referees as well. Just a short while ago it was a Red for DOGSO. Why can't we just leave all the Laws the way they were?
Because it was overly harsh. A send off, a penalty and a suspension for the player as well. The punishment didn't fit the crime.The new rule about playing the ball just make this so much more confusing not only for spectators but for referees as well.

The time I saw it applied, it did not seem overly harsh. Tackle from directly behind in the box by the last defender. If she would not have been removed from the game by the refs, she would have been by DD's teammates.Because it was overly harsh. A send off, a penalty and a suspension for the player as well.

Definitely. A few quickly come to mind.The time I saw it applied, it did not seem overly harsh. Tackle from directly behind in the box by the last defender. If she would not have been removed from the game by the refs, she would have been by DD's teammates.
Absolutely. Has to still be an attempt to play the ball. If it's not, then the triple jeopardy comes back into effect. Also, any case of serious foul play would still be punished over any DOGSO scenario. But for a simple trip that denies a goal-scoring opportunity, the three punishments are too harsh. Ask any player what they think and they'll say the same....any defender at least.The time I saw it applied, it did not seem overly harsh. Tackle from directly behind in the box by the last defender.
