Hi,
Maybe a newbie question, but happened in fixture yesterday.
Striker dribbles into the box, turns left, sees defender, turns right and catches another defender who was just waiting there. I waved play-on, as I felt the defender he caught had no choice in the matter (there was no move towards him by the defender), and should not be penalised for being in the 'wrong place and the wrong time'.
Obviously all hell broke loose, so was keen to understand if I made the right decision? In my view it had shades of the incident between Villa and United in July.
Thoughts?
Chris
