Bit of a bizarre one in my match tonight.
Attacker is just about to shoot in the box, as he draws his foot back defender clips the back of his heel, but attacker manages to get the shot away anyway, hits the bar and ball goes out. I award a penalty as in my view the clip on heel was careless and put off attacker in his shot.
But here is the bizarre thing, the attacker didn’t ask or call for a foul, nobody did, they were all head in hands after it had hit the bar.
It was a clear and obvious sound, I saw the heel being clipped.
The defending team are now livid, saying how can I award a foul when nobody was asking for it. The resultant penalty was scored and it turned out to be the deciding factor in the game.
Feel a bit sick in my stomach, what should I have done here?
