DOGSO or SFP ?

[Alex71]

GK was sent off for this ...

Thoughts ?

Looks like SFP to me, but that camera angle...!!

 

[RustyRef]

Very difficult to tell from that view, but I suspect it was DOGSO rather than SFP.

DOGSO is difficult - looks like the ball may have been going too fast for him to regain control, but that may well just be the angle of the video. Have to give the ref the BOTD. SFP, seems unlikely but hard to judge.

Isn't it a red either way?

Yep red either way ... main difference will be the number of games the GK is suspended for - generally

• DOGSO = 1 game
• SFP = 3 games

 

[Cheshire Ref]

Its hard to say from the angle but i think that may be in the box and therefore a genuine attempt to play the ball therefore caution and penalty kick

Just to throw this in there. Did he make an attempt to play the ball?

VC rather than sfp?

I think he did attempt to play the ball, although that is not the criterion for deciding between SFP and VC. For it to be VC, it has be when the player was not challenging for the ball. Again, I think the keeper is challenging for the ball - it even looks as if he might have gotten a touch on it, though it's a little difficult to tell, given the camera angle.
