Retired big bad baldy in all black!
Latest "You Are The Ref" in the guardian....
"A striker who is clean through on goal suddenly pulls up, looks like he has torn a hamstring. When the couching keeper hesitates and stands up, the striker smashes the ball into the net. It was a ruse, do you award the goal or not?"
Most on the guardian believe the keeper should have played to the whistle and to an extent they are right, but if the feigning of injury was blatantly obvious, I am inclined to go with IDFK to the defending to and yellow card the clown for unsporting behaviour!
"A midfielder commits a foul worthy of a second yellow card, but you play advantage as the opposition are in on goal. When the shot is blocked and cleared, it falls to the player you planned to book, he turns races upfield and scores a screamer, what do you do?"
Something I have seen mentioned a few times on here regarding never playing on if you intend to red card a player for this very reason. Anyone brave enough to allow the goal to stand, but still show the goalscorer a 2nd yellow for the earlier foul?
