Afternoon chaps,
Game yesterday, a very entertaining (from where I was) 3-3 draw - both teams going for it, the pitch wasn't the greatest, but a very decent game nonetheless.
There were a few meaty tackles but nothing too huge and despite it simmering at some points, I was pleased with how it went - also got some compliments at FT which was very nice too.
Anyway, an incident has had be thinking: half way through the second half, the ball's kind of in no man's land, two players heading for it from both directions - I was bracing for the awful 'both sliding in together' - but instead one of them gets there first, just, and kind of stamps into the ball - I'll try and explain it better, he kind of jumps slightly both feet into the ball, not playing the man, and firmly getting the ball.
He didn't commit a foul on the other player and being mindful of (mis)using 'intent', I didn't do anything and let play go on - the other player didn't say anything either, though there were a few 'ref!' shouts from one team.
Perhaps a stupid question, but should I have stopped it for dangerous play? And if so, book the tackler and restart with a DFK? - I suppose the same could be said if a player goes in to absolutely clean someone out but misses, what's the relevant action there?
Just something playing on my mind is all.
