Certainly more violent than any hair pull we've seen punished and striking has a far lower threshold

It's always happened just wasn't a highlighted issue until they started giving reds for innocuous ones

Every Irish player is called Paddy, and every Welsh player is called Taff. Universal rule of grassroots football. If you think the insult is racially aggravated then act accordingly.

This is just before he kicks it. At least a yard in front.

Interfering with an opponent is what you're assessing here. Could make an argument he interferes with the goalkeepers positioning as he has to wait; as an obvious action was made it would only need to impact an opponent to be an offence. If offside was given I would have no problem giving a...

"Brutality An act which is savage, ruthless or" briefly pulling someone's hair. Doesn't quite mesh.

@Ryanj91 The debate is that the only justification for violent conduct in law is the use of excessive force. On Monday Night Football they showed an extract from the PGMO hand book around hair pulling and presented it as law. @JamesL did you show something from IFAB that said that hair...

These tackles are the potential leg breakers. Endangered the safety of an opponent.

First one was actually a second yellow, given for a free kick. (according to the Spanish instagram ref) Very clear DOGSO in my book, the goalkeeper was stuck in concrete. Understandable miss in real time. Think we discussed recently that the VAR intervention doesn't actually add anything when...

Only an 11 match ban? Absolutely shocking. Cases are often taken less seriously when a game isn't abandoned.

VAR interventions in Spain are nearly double the interventions in the EPL.

@ladbroke8745 How was this game not abandoned?
