A 'clean tackle' which has the momentum to take out an opponent and a man standing at least 1m away from the field of play is NOT a fair tackle IMO - indeed it sounds as if it could be reckless.
Ah of course - all or nothing, black or white. How could I have expected any other answer from you Padfoot?!A clean tackle implies it is also a fair tackle......
But if you are going down that route then it has to be excessive force....by your logic.
They are all, as Hackett's columns always are, "You had to be there" scenarios.1) Depends if the ball was already out of play when the defender's momentum takes out the opponent. If it was, restart with a throw-in. If it wasn't, free kick. Call on treatment for the player, any treatment for the manager doesn't need the game stopped for it. As for the assistant manager, either he makes a sub or he doesn't, it really doesn't matter to me - the game's going to carry on regardless.
2) If you think he's deliberately kicked it at the AR, red card + throw in to opponents. If you think it was accidental, throw in to the opponents.
3) It depends whether you deem the extra ball to be interfering with play. One of those 'you have to be there' scenarios.

The manager is allowed to come up to the touch line, don't forget. So they could have been close to each other. But yes, your point is still valid - if we're talking some distance between them then it's suggesting the slide was 'through' the winger. Worth raising that point. But, let's stick with the idea of it being 'clean'A 'clean tackle' which has the momentum to take out an opponent and a man standing at least 1m away from the field of play is NOT a fair tackle IMO - indeed it sounds as if it could be reckless.
