Game at the weekend where a player went sliding in to tackle and totally missed the ball and player. The player had to leap to get out of the way of the player which allowed the opposition to gain possession. Other than having to leap over the tackle, the player was otherwise unimpeded.
I gave a free-kick for PIADM as in my opinion if he hadn't need to leap he would have retained possession. Obvious confusion from the defending team as no contact had been made. "What, are we giving fouls for no contact now ref?"
I'm quite happy with my decision, but it made me wonder where other people's threshold is for this sort of thing.
