Is this all part of the VAR protocol?

@RustyRef @Social Lurker thanks for the replies. I am looking at what the benefit is? And as somebody who has been employed to play football, coach football and athletics I am looking at what is the benefit of what UEFA/FIFA. The way this is interpreted is illogical. Players are being expected...

Thank you, but what is the purpose?

I think its just weird. Bi peds move limbs when they move, that really (it really is) in our DNA.

Why?

High and playing in a dangerous manner.

Lot of uncertainty. Probably is not an obviously. No red.

No from me. Even If the Blackburn players next touch was great the Millwall players are going to be shutting the door. There was going to be no obvious!

I didn't answer it as I didn't think it was relevant and law includes "threatens injury to someone including the player themselves.

As a half decent ex player but humble ref I am attempting to understand this decision. I sincerely do not understand how a player attempting a bicycle kick, or scissors, or bicey as the kids call it where a boot flies past centimetres past a player face is not dangerous. The result, score, I...

Stay with me here. I am even more confused. The ball was at a height where you would normally expect a player to head it. So a scissors kick with a boot going centimetres past a players face is not dangerous if the player does not pull out of the challenge?

I think watching the clip the Leicester players foot does marginally go past the Bristol City players head as it passes centimetres from his face narrowly missing it!! In the IFAB example the players foot is further away from the players face/head than the Leicester players. So attempting a...

So how would a player attempting an overhead/scissors kick and narrowly missing a players head/face by centimetres not be dangerous play?

If a player swings his foot very close to an opponents head who is attempting to head the ball wouldn't this be considered dangerous? Do the pro level technical and physical abilities have any bearing? How does stooping to a ball that is closer to the players head v feet effect the decision...

2.90 Has the ref missed one, or is there something in 12.2 I am missing? Here I would give a indirect free kick for playing in a dangerous manner as there is no contact with the defender..
