wow, what a terrible call, the player wasnt even knocked to the ground, and he still had a shot on goal after the foul, a free kick at best. just another example of idiot refs who try to run the game, and the even more idiot fans who dont know a damn thing about the game of soccer, and compensate by screaming like damn idiots

It appears the four Ds of DOGSO are satisfied: One Defender to beat (the keeper), Direction toward the goal, Distance to the goal about 20 yards, and Distance to the ball was within playing distance. Still, I would have held the whistle, citing advantage. You can always issue the red card for DOGSO, if need be.

@lanceg09 ITS NOT SOCCER, ITS FOOTBALL !!

@socref79 Impeding the progress of an opponent is an IFK offense. IFK offenses are also covered under the DOGSO-FK umbrella.

Saying that the determination that this particular DFK offense is DOGSO-FK does not imply that an IFK offenses cannot be DOGSO-FK. My mention of DFK was to clarify the boundaries of the term "foul."

It would be rare. How can an attacker be moving with the ball toward goal with OGSO, yet not be within playing distance? I could see it, but unlikely.

@wguynes so if the GK impedes the progress of an attacker who clearly has an open net in the penalty area, you wouldn't award a red card?

[tatomartin120]

thats not even for yellow card

[tatomartin120]

@lanceg09 its called football...

[cphthomsen]

Perfect call... Doesnt matter if the attacker goes down or not.. he gets hold back, preventing a1 open chance on gal.. which by fifas laws of the game is a straight red.. good call ref

@lanceg09

that's a professional foul, he's one v one against the keeper and getting away from the defender. Straight red every day of the week.

I would know I'm English. You wouldn't, you're not.

You always have been and always will be shit at the beautiful game

[wguynes]

dwebb2 is correct.

Once this is determined to be a foul (a DFK offense) for the hold and the referee has waited to see if a goal was scored, this _had_ to be a send off. A caution would not have even been much of an option.
