Just went on to a link of a match (wanted to find a different game, but alas could not find it) and found this live match on it (Bein Sports).
As I've switched on, first thing that happens is referee has awarded a penalty.
I see the offending player (I now know is the offending player following replays) pleading his case with the referee who slowly walks up to him, stops (only way I can describe it is how Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson does his "smulder" pose in the Jumanji films) then brandishes a yellow card and walks away.
Now we are shown the replay. The offence is off the ball.
Defender gets between attacker and ball and shields to keeper (all in a split second). No foul, and none given.
Attacker gets annoyed with the "challenge" whilst the big defender argues (I guess in a fashion of "whatever, man up" type of arguing.
Attacker then gets close to his face and puts his finger to his lips telling him to shut up (in a manner of speaking).
Defender proceeds to laugh it off and slap him (not even forcefully) in the back of the head/neck like you would a naughty child who disrespects you.
Referee, who is couple yards away, stops and has a second or 2 thinking time and blows his whistle and gives a penalty.
I was thinking wow. Don't get me wrong, the defender was stupid to even raise his hand, but it was no more than a gentle slap in a manner of telling the attacker to grow up and get on with it. Personally, I'd never have given it.
The referee has, for that, awarded a free shot at goal, effectively a goal (they scored from it), for that "incident".
I was told when I first passed my test and got a few games under my belt that although you might argue a foul outside the box is to be awarded, think hard about the ones you give inside as you are effectively awarding a goal (unless the taker is awful or the keeper has done amazing). I would like to think that my mentor was thinking more on the lines of this when I was told. Give this and your match control is out of the window and respect completely lost.
If he has surely awarded a penalty for that slap, surely he should be sending the player off for violent conduct rather than Adopting Aggressive Attitude which I assume he will have given the yellow for.
Completely confused by the whole moment to be honest.
I do hope I can find footage of it somewhere to upload.
