Reffed an U15 game tonight and had a potential DOGSO-H in the first half.
Ball fell to the attacker on the edge of the box, who unleashed a thunderbolt that was heading in, when the defender threw himself across the box and blocked the ball. He went down holding his face (think Steven Taylor), but in all honesty I have no idea what the ball hit.
My instinct tells me that he handled it, but as I explained to the attacking team, I wasn't certain so there was no way I could dismiss him. I wish I had done now, he admitted that he'd handled it at the end of the game!
