30 seconds into the game, free kick and red card for DOGSO - thoughts?
I notice it was appealed to the Scottish FA but the red card was upheld.
Distance approx 10 yards from penalty area - how much closer do you want him?Poor decision, distance from goal, absence of control, covering defender...
The striker could blast the ball over. Put it wide. Keeper could make a save. These are all coulds' and perhaps'.Personally, I don't think this meets the "obvious" criteria because the other defender is keeping up with play and could challenge for the ball.
I think you may also be looking at where that other defender is at the wrong moment. Once the attacker falls, it may seem the other defender has an opportunity. But before the attacker is slowed, its a 1 on 1 with the keeper without the foul. A defender chasing from behind doesn't obviate an OGSO.It's interesting, that because I played in Central Defence for two decades, I still see the game through defender's eyes. This perhaps makes me slightly more lenient with defenders, which naturally leads me towards 'safe refereeing'. In this scenario, if I'm the number 6, that's not a DOGSO!
That said, 'safe refereeing' is not all it's cracked up to be. If we fall into the trap of getting too safe, we'll end up repeatedly making bad decisions
Thanks for sharing this video with everyone.

Probably a foul--tough to tell from the video. I think (and presumably the ref thought) the defender clipped the leg of the attacker, causing him to fall.Might be totally wrong , but is that even a foul ?
