       Can be given as yellow if an attempt to play ball was made.
       Argument here is that he caught the back of his heel.
       I didnt think it was a penalty so am pleased the red was
       overturned. I did think the Millwall player made a lot of it and
       should have been charged

       If they believe there was contact then I'm surprised Leeds won
       the appeal. I know that not every piece of contact means it's a
       foul but if they believe there was contact, can they
       conclusively say that no foul was committed and therefore the
       referee's original decision was wrong?
       Whilst I'm not fully convinced that it was a foul, I think I
       would have upheld the red card because I think there is enough
       doubt that it can't be said the decision to give a foul was
       conclusively wrong. As discussed, if giving the foul I think you
       have to give a red card.
       [/quote]
       Personally I don't believe there was any contract at all, but
       even if there was minimal contact I'm fascinated to know where
       you saw a deliberate foul and therefore decide its a red card?
       I could have sworn accidental fouls that deny a goalscoring
       opportunity were now to be cautioned.
       I certainly didn't see any "holding, pulling or pushing, not
       playing the ball, serious foul play, violent conduct or
       deliberate handball."
       [/quote]
       I don't see how you can regard it as 'playing the ball' because
       the ball isn't there to be played at the moment that the 'foul'
       occurs.

       Where did I say he played the ball? I simply quoted the offences
       that could incur a red card. He made no attempt to tackle
       Bradshaw, play the ball or interfere with him in any way. That's
       my point. IF and its a big if, he touched Bradshaw it was the
       faintest of touches completely by accident. So as i said, I'm
       fascinated to know how you justify a red card.

       You say yourself that he made no attempt to play the ball - I
       was referencing the 'not playing the ball' part that you
       referred to.
       As stated in Law 12 of the FA's website, 'Where a player commits
       an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area
       which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and
       the referee awards a penalty kick, the offending player is
       cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball'.
       I do not believe that the above applied - as you seem to agree
       with - and therefore if it was a foul (whether 'accidental' or
       'deliberate') then it should be a red card if deemed to be
       DOGSO.
       I feel you are debating the wrong part. To me, the question is
       'Was it a foul?' rather than 'How on earth can it be a red card
       if it is a foul?'

       in my opinion you should be more concerned as to why referees

       Absolutely. I was at a game the other week where Darren Handley
       made a point of telling players not to hold each other at a
       corner, only to then completely ignore his own instructions when
       the corner came over.

       I stand corrected.  In my haste to clarify why a red card was
       the correct sanction IF it was foul, I confused matters by
       mentioning contact.  You are completely right that overly 'soft'
       FKs and PKs from trifling contact are unhelpful and can
       certainly encourage unwanted simulation

       I agree with you. However, whilst not all contact is a foul, I
       think that a clip to the ankles (even if accidental) in a
       situation where the attacker is in front of the defender and
       running at pace probably could be considered sufficient to
       regard as a foul.
       In this instance, I think there is enough doubt about whether
       the striker simulated that it was right not to bring a charge
       for that offence.
