I had an incident in a game I reffed this weekend where the keeper for the blue team came out of his area and went in very recklessly into red team striker. After this red team striker tripped up then keeper when getting up, this was after I had awarded the free kick and was going to deal with the keeper. This then escalated where the blue team keeper then swung at the striker who backed off and from there the captain for the red team sprinted from one side of the pitch to where the foul took place and flying kicked the keeper in the chest.
The coaches came on and separated their players and I called over the coaches to discuss the cautions I was going to give out. After a short chat with my CAR, I decided that the blue keeper and red captain were going to receive red cards and red striker a yellow. Both coaches then agreed with this, however if they didn’t I wouldn’t matter anyway. This incident overall lasted 7 mins as the replacement Keeper had to change, I then added this on at the end of the first half.
Was this the correct way to deal with the situation?
