The ball was about to be headed back towards goal. Dunk(?) Was right behind his hand.
Would you not class that as a promising attack? Or is that too vague? I feel he is very lucky.
Think about it logically. Did it really prevent a promising attack, what percentage chance was there of that header ending up in the goal? Given how far it was from goal you are probably talking 10%. What's the chance of a penalty ending up in the goal, more like 80%. So how can turning a 10% chance into an 80% have stopped a promising attack?The ball was about to be headed back towards goal.

The law doesn't view it this way, it would be a yellow anywhere else in the World. Interestingly one of the offences a UEFA committee wanted to get rid of.I thought he had blown for full time, so was surprised there was a restart.
No way it was a caution though, it could only be for SPA. He hasn't prevented a promising attack, rather has turned a nothing attack into a very promising one, i.e. a penalty.
Right in law...but not ideal if the worst happens and the keeper saves it then they 'score' the rebound...hate safe refereeing but got to be a good example of itI was fully expecting “last kick” and no players entering the box.
This must be something the EPL refs have been briefed on.
Which law. Any quotes.The law doesn't view it this way, it would be a yellow anywhere else in the World. Interestingly one of the offences a UEFA committee wanted to get rid of.
Was poorly worded/wrong. I thought rusty was trying to infer a penalty restores the promising attack so SPA-HB wouldn't be punished with a yellow card if a penalty is awarded (which is effectively what happens in the EPL) .Which law. Any quotes.
If something is SPA or not is an opinion. But the law is clear that if it is not a SPA then it's not a caution (except for some irrelevant circumstances to this context). In fact law 12 list of USB was specifically changed so that referees don't caution every/most handballs.
Seems the prem refs have law 21: “keep all 22 on the pitch at all costs”Found the more interesting case to be that Antony wasn't sent off. It's at the very least a doubly-whammy for reckless + AAA and very probably a red for violent conduct/SFP on the tackle. How both Antony and Dunk ended up being booked is beyond me, either Antony is off or you do not punish Dunk. Can't be equal punishments here.
Yeah he's just booted him. Zero attempt to play the ball. Crystal clear red cardFound the more interesting case to be that Antony wasn't sent off.

Very similar to DRB's quiz question this week.Yeah he's just booted him. Zero attempt to play the ball. Crystal clear red card
Are we not effectively "rewinding" the game to the point of the handball? Even if only a few seconds, the time between HB and FT should be played from the moment the penalty is kicked, which means you probably would have a kick off, unless the game was already being extended for the corner?Right in law...but not ideal if the worst happens and the keeper saves it then they 'score' the rebound...hate safe refereeing but got to be a good example of it

So I saw it as a straight red for violent conduct.Not properly connecting just can't be suitable mitigation. Once again pgmol failing us lower down the pyramid...if I see that in my next game the player is walking without hesitation
