It’s not really that sexual, and it’s not really assault in a football sense! Move on
I’ve read a lot of weird/stupid comments on this forum but this tops the lot. ‘Not really that sexual’ is one of the worst discussion points I’ve ever heard.
Unsure of sanction...

To call it sexual assault is one of the weirdest things ive read on this forum too.... Its not, and you know it!!!

Agree, sorry Sheff
Am thinking only full scale penetration is registering as "sexual" and even then, according to some comments, its perfectly fine depending if the other party enjoyed it
That's a pretty meaningless post? I can think of worse things than having someone run up to me in the street and punch me in the face, but I should just get over it because murder exists?
I honestly can't believe I've just read that. "I can think of a lot of worse things". Absolutely disgraceful. Find it baffling that there are people who still think it's acceptable to act towards someone in a (sexually) unconsensual manner, regardless of how 'serious' it is or for how long it lasts.
Do you shower naked with your boss? I'm guessing not. An office and a football team are not comparable.
Here you go Sheff, have a read of this. It even has some nice pictures to help you understand

If it's clearly sexual assault, why isn't the FA investigating immediately? Why haven't Cardiff put out a statement? Why isn't this awful sexual assault front page news?

I kinda hope this thread gets locked as clearly half the folk posting on it need an education in how to behave in a decent society, and we should all revert to focussing on referee matters/opinions. Myself included.
unwanted kissing is not sexual assault to some folk. That is truly terrifying that I share an island on the world with such ignorance.

I'm not saying going up to a coworker and kissing them without their consent isn't sexual assault/harassment. In the context of a football game (which is not the same as an office setting) when it is clearly done to wind someone up, it is not this huge issue that needs a red card, misconduct report, ban etc. Caution was what Barnes got (I think) and that's exactly what I would do.
This is not to say it could never be a red card, I can perfectly picture a scenario where it would be, but this? Absolutely not.

No one has said it is a "major issue in football".
The fact that the club's, fans, fa or match officials haven't said anything means nothing.
You cannot kiss someone without their consent, either given directly or implied.
If the player who was kissed makes a complaint to the Police, do you think they will go "It's only football, it's not like it's in an office", or, do you think they will investigate it?

Haven't the police and the FA got enough to do already in chasing the Barry Bennalls of this world... Maybe not!! ..... Lets start a new campaign!!!
