NO, GOAL. The keeper could see him and still kicked though him - thinking I had hit him and he will leave me alone next time.
Keeper could easily have moved two foot either side and kicked.

Decision - goes under the folder of stupid keepers!

Am giving that. At no time does the striker actually move closer to the gk, and as gk kicks ball, striker has started to move awwy, that for me is as above, gk booting ball off him (with force and on purpose, violent conduct?!)

Goal

Yep, I agree with the other two. The keeper has made the decision to kick it against that striker, not the other way round. The only possible offence here is VC for the goalkeeper deliberately striking the attacker with the ball....

GOAL, next!

Yep, I'm giving that goal 100%.

Not violent conduct or even a yellow card offence in my opinion. Goal. Serves him right for being an idiot. Move on.

It WAS given I take it - looks like it by length of celebration!

Ball kicked deliberatley at an opponent, with excessive force...



I better not jest, Goal for me and for record, no sanction. Just saying likes..
