If it were a hold and its stopped the player gaining or regaining control of the ball and the ball has fallen to an opponent, then I'd come back for a caution, as it's not for SPA. If it's a hold he's continued on and passed the ball, then no caution as he hasn't been prevented him from getting...
At all of our coaching nights, we have been specifically told that is not a caution for SPA. For a holding offense you could caution for holding a player to stop them getting into an advantageous position, but SPA? Nope. If a player is tripped and ball falls to another team mate and you play...
So how is deliberately handling the ball anywhere else on the FOP any different? If a player deliberately handles the ball to control it because he thinks its going to help his team score a goal, is that showing a lack of respect?
So are you saying that a deliberate handball is showing a lack of respect for the game? Because if we're saying he's not denying a goal, then all he is doing is deliberately handling the ball, so should be treated as if it were anywhere else on the FOP.
Correct, SPA falls under the list of cautions for Unsporting Behaviour. Whats your point? If you've played advantage it means a promising attack has not been stopped. If you play advantage then an obvious goal scoring opportunity hasn't been denied.
You cannot just say its unsporting behavior just because it is. Otherwise I can just say it's not a caution just because its not. The LOTG is there, use it.
No, I'm saying that if it is not DOGSO, then it's no card. By tipping the ball over the bar hes committing the offense of deliberately handling the ball, which is not cautionable in itself. It has to meet certain criteria for it to be a caution.
Deliberately handling the ball is not showing lack of respect for the game. How could it be SPA if a goal can't legally be scored from the shot and the ball isn't going to a team mate.
And yes you do need to justify your card Graeme, maybe not on your reporting system, but a justification from...
I'm just putting a different perspective out there. I've actually emailed IFAB to find out what the answer actually is, because really, I'm not sure myself.
Wise up? This is not an opinion, this is fact. If you play advantage, you are saying that there is still a promising attack, therefore you cannot issue a caution for SPA. The same goes for DOGSO. This comes from FIFA.
