Ajax defender sent off. what we thinking?
This was a little bit my thinking, which kind of guided my 1st post. If the defender doesn't force his way in front of the attacker, causing him to slip, he neither handballs it nor fouls it, butbthe attacker is in, so I think you have to say that without the foul intervention by then defender, be it handball or foul it is probably an OGSO (imo of course )I have read elsewhere that the R said the call was handball. I think that leads to some interesting questions about the new handball law, especially if read literally. (His lunge toward the ball would be a play in the context of a defender for Law 11--is it also a play for eliminating a hand ball for the arm above the shoulder?) I do have trouble with DOGSO-H--I don't see an OGSO after the handling as the attacker has fallen. (If the all is a foul, DOGSO is pretty easy to my mind.)
