Keeper catches a cross and after hitting the ground rolls over to plant two feet in the standing attackers chest. Attacker goes down and is subsequently subbed as a result. At half time i ask if he's ok and he shows me the stud marks on his ribs.
I blew and gave a penalty. Uproar from the manager "he got the ball ref. No way is that a foul".
Luckily that teams assistant is a highly qualified assistant ref and explains to his manager my reasoning. He says to me most refs wouldn't give it as is would be deemed as accidental contact.
Would you give a penalty in this situation or is the contact avoidable?
