    West Ham-Newcastle. Penalty for WH whistled, then OFR. Defender first touched the ball hardly, but milisecond later it was clear foul. Penalty annuled due to this small contact with the ball. But it was clear tackle, clear foul for me, nevertheless the defender played the ball first. Even though he did, the attacker could play it and he was in GS opportunity - he would do that but he was foyled. I really can’t ever understand most of referees’ decisions in Premier league. Million penalties like this one were given in decades, and today it is not PK.

      Similar situations have already happened several times, and the verdict is always the same. On the one hand, it's good that the same criterion is followed, but on the other hand, I don't know how correct it is.
      So, the defender minimally touches the ball and then stops the attacker with a clean foul. I wonder if this is correct?

      It is consistent with recent application in the PL. Expectation is if the ball is touched first, if nothing reckless or worse happens after, it's a good clean tackle. I think most are happy with this understanding (in the English context)

    Eredivisie: Sparta - AZ.
    Wouter Goes versus Denny Makkelie!

    First, Goes and Lauritsen both received YCs. This video continues from there. There were no further cards.

    I don’t think a referee should be pushing players, but in this case Makkelie actually gets applause for it. Goes is a defiant player, and no one dares to confront him, not AZ and not other referees. I think Makkelie reacted instinctively because of his police background. Not the right thing to do, but very understandable.

    And in the end, Makkelie won, because after that, Goes suddenly became as sweet as a kitten.

      Agreed.
      The important point is that if Goes had whined about it, he would have been a real loser.
      There might be better ways to do it, but against players like Goes, this is definitely effective.

      Highly unacceptable behaviour from a referee. The player or team could easily report it and it could lead to a scandal. Give a yellow card or warning. Literally provocing a fight as a referee that had nothing to do with you just shows that he has personal emotions in the game.

      Makkelie learned from the best: Pierluigi Collina :-)
