This incident happened while a group of refs and assessors were watching a game. We saw it live and watched later on video that I can’t share.
Blue striker, inside right, approaching edge of box towards the intersection of the D, moving quite fast shapes to shoot with right foot, red defender comes from the left side on, lunges low with left outstretched off the floor, just in front of blue, to try to block the shot, but fails to block.
Blue screws the shot wide right, blue tries to jump a little to avoid collision, but blue’s front foot motion collides with the red leading leg, red’s trailing leg not extended then comes in from behind/side and impacts blue trailing leg, blue goes down a little painfully.
Outside the box, so quick that ball is definitely in play when both the lunging leg and trailing leg content is made.
The question: is attempting to block a shot a special case in the LotG, your mind, guidance you’ve been given or what you’ve seen - how do we deal with different ”late blocks” that impact or wipe out players - what’s your tolerance?
