[QUOTE="Zerobound, post: 1054520, member: 81336"] You make a good point. It makes these decisions clear. At least you know what to expect. As long as it is consistent there should be no qualms. My thoughts though, technique was questioned. It was poor, Barrett mistimed his jump that put him in that position. He overran it and ended up taking the ball on his shoulder rather than in the bread basket. He was committed and paid the price for misjudging his jump. I like that it was carded as a chaser can commit and misjudge his run and end up red carded. It makes for a fair contest if both players can potentially suffer the same fate. Intent or accident? As quoted it doesn't matter in the eyes of the ref. I'm going with instinct though. Barrett put himself in a position where he needed to protect himself. There was a physical threat heading towards him. Therefore I think it was just a natural instinct to kick out. Another interesting point, Foster had given Barrett a challenge this week. Basically to just keep his head in the game. Don't be overzealous etc.. I'm guessing he may have failed that one [/QUOTE]
