C KAVANAGH - West Ham v Chelsea

Another game ruined by the incompetence of Big Brother, and
Kavanagh (who could have not issued the red and said no issue)
to send off Balbuena.
If that’s a red card for the follow through we might as well
pack up and go home.

Woeful and abject.
How is he supposed to stop his foot?

Agree, what is meant to do after kicking a ball.

My initial thought on watching the game was Utter Rubbish on the
red card. Absolutely no intent. Not only is tackling being
outlawed, kicking the ball is. Anybody who understands football
knows when you kick a ball you have to follow through, sheer
physics. The very good game has been spoilt by a shocking
decision. I hope the card is successfully appealed and somebody
gives Chris Kavanagh and Peter Bankes some sound advice on the
game. Very poor.

I'm just not so sure about no intent. My initial reaction on
seeing the replay was that there was a sort of extended and
unnecessary second movement with the foot turned up and studs
showing. It didn't come as a complete surprise when VAR
recommended Kavanagh to look at the monitor. If he took the view
that the follow through was excessive and endangered an
opponent, I can see a case for a RC.
Fully expect to be in a minority of one and advised to visit
Specsavers. My only plea is age!
Just to clarify. I'm not suggesting a RC was 100% correct, but I
don't think the incident was as clear cut as posters so far have
stated, and there's certainly a doubt in my mind as to whether
the West Ham player was entirely innocent.

New instructions to be given by managers to players will have to
be along the lines of 'don't kick the ball whatever you do
because you may also kick an opponent' Instructions to be
issued before the start of the game so that nobdy kicks the ball
to kick off, half tiime will arrive with 5 players from each
side having been cautioned for time wasting because the
officials couldn't persuade anyone to kick off. They will of
course add on 10 minutes to complete the half.
Teams will come out for the second half and follow the same
procedure, another 5 players from each side cautioned etc.,etc.
End of game with no players injured, no VAR involvement, and the
pundits will pontificate for a further half hour on what may
have happened.
Sorry guys, however, this is the way that the game is going and
I still haven't worked out what they are trying to achieve with
the use of VAR and the instructions to officials. Answers of a
postage stamp please.

I’m going to go against the grain here and side with the
officials. The level and force of the follow through is totally
unnecessary and a clear example of excessive force which
endangers his opponent’s safety.
Regardless of individual opinion on intent, the UEFA directives
on this type of incident have been rather clear in the last few
years.

I agree Affy. Totally correct call in law and current
interpretation imo. I don’t necessarily like the laws and the
current application but I think Chris Kavanagh did his job
correctly under the current guidelines.
As you say UEFA RAPs have incidents like this in them and when
the contact point is as high as in this incident then I believe
a RC is usually advised.
