Forrestieri's red card v the disallowed "goal"

[happypig]

Well ?

 

[Mr Smggles]

I have no idea what you are asking.

 

[Ravids]

It was never a red.

 

[Bridcutt]

How can you give a red for it?
Defo not a goal as well..

 

[pasty]

Any option saying red card invalidates the second option as he wouldn't be on the pitch to make the shot that did or didn't cross the line

 

[Dick Head]

Options for 'no card, no goal' and 'no card, goal'?

 

[SeagullSongs]

Options for 'no card, no goal' and 'no card, goal'?

If you think it wasn't worth a yellow card at least, then you need your head checking.



Yellow card (opinion), no goal (fact).

Defo red card. Yes the balll looked over the line but he should never have been on the pitch to have the chance. He looked mightly relieved when he was only shown a yellow.

Forrestieri should have been given a Red card Under law 12 of the game.
A player is guilty of serious foul play if he uses excessive force or brutality against an opponent when challenging for the ball when it is in play.

“Using excessive force” means that the player has far exceeded the necessary use of force and is in danger of injuring his opponent.

Any player who lunges at an opponent when challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force and endangering the safety of an opponent, is guilty of serious foul play.

ALternatively, under the same Law - Violent Conduct
A player is guilty of violent conduct if he uses excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball. Violent conduct may occur either on the field of play or outside its boundaries, whether the ball is in play or not. He is also guilty of violent conduct if he uses excessive force or brutality against a team-mate, spectator, match official or any other person.

As Kusczak had cleared the ball at the time of the challenge, Forrestieri could be considered as "not challenging for the ball" and so should have received a red card for either Serious Foul Play or Violent Conduct.

In this situation, the game and it's eventual outcome would have almost certainly have changed, and the issue regarding whether the ball had crossed the line would not have occured.

 

[Blues Rock DJ]

thought he was the best player on the pitch, and yes was definitely a goal.

 

[Bob!]

Not Red.
Not a Goal.

 

[Marxo]

I can't help but think that Barnes would have been sent off in the same situation.

 

[Left Footer]

Looked like a red from where I was sitting and clearly a goal.
Havn`t seen replays of the challenge though so I`ll bow to those who have seen it and decided it was only worth a yellow.

Yellow & No Goal

+ 2nd yellow for dive (to be awarded retrospectively from video evidence................)

 

[TheMajor]

Red & No goal as he shouldn't have been on pitch. Ball definitely crossed the line though.

How has "no goal" got so many votes?

What rule change have I missed .... does it have the hit the netting or something?

 

[father_and_son]

The goal was, IMHO (SW corner in line with the goal line), over the line. Given my location the poison-dwarf's lunge at TK was far less clear cut, but looked both dangerous and deliberate from our vantage point.

You don't seem to understand the "whole of the ball over the whole of the line from birds eye view" rule. And you're usually one of the best posters on here, so I'm surprised.

Rubbish, neither of those descriptions fit what he did. It was a yellow card. Never a red.

Clearly a goal - People that think different need to take the tinted specs off.
