What would you give?

Feel like there is an obvious answer but can't stop thinking the probable wrong answer...

Ref's fallen for a dive there I think, should be YC to the attacker wearing black. There's a bit of contact on his shoulder, but they've clearly come apart by the time the attackers legs go from underneath him.

That's a curve ball lol, I thought clear push but struggling with red card for denying obvious g.s opportunity. Probably is but feels like should be pen and yellow for defender as angle and proximity of keeper means it isn't a good opportunity. However is still an opportunity so I suppose red and pen would be correct

(Was only watching with half an eye, thought the blue player was the attacker and agreed with the referee. Then I saw the blue player was the defender...)

Defender had advantage, guess he just wanted to defend his position and prepared for a shoulder charge to hold off the attacker (so the goalkeeper could collect the ball). First contact is the attacker kind of pulling back the defender's arm, defender gets unbalanced, shoulder charge gone wrong. Although defender seems to look for extra contact (under the disguise of being unbalanced) as he tries to prevent the atacker from reaching the bal. Attacker kind of loses his footing, not doing all he can to stay on his feet, but there's serious contact, wouldn't call it a dive.

I would say play on.

A push? I don't see that at all! There's a little bit of downwards pressure/a slight pull on his shoulder, but for me, the timing doesn't match up with when he falls over at all, which is why I went dive. He seems to recover from the contact, take a step or two and then his legs collapse IMO.

BUT, if we assume that's not the case and it is a genuine foul, I think you're right to be dubious about the red. The attacker never controls a difficult bouncing ball and was being very agressively closed down by the GK and would only possibly have been able to take the shot on from a difficult angle. If there is a foul there, I think yellow would be the suitable punishment.
