Had an incident today. 1-1 in a semi final cup game. Corner to blues, and ball bouncing around in the box. Ball is about 3ft off the floor, and red defender stoops to head, forward nicks it off him and I think he then scores or another player.
Reds are screaming for a foul, but I said that is too low and forward had every right to go for it.
Defender stays on the floor for treatment, but there is no visible damage to him.
Would you have given the foul as the safe option, given the circumstances of the game? But if I had given a free kick then blue team would have exploded with rage!
General thoughts on fouls anywhere on the pitch for this situation?
