[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 531978, member: 13739"] I agree with that assessment. He was [I]almost[/I] lucky to re-gather the ball, but when he slapped the ball forwards he didn't really have a clue where it was going. That's always what I look out for, a slapping motion (be it up or down), that is not how anyone attempts to catch a ball! Ultimately, knocking a ball down is a negative bit of play, and illegal negative play should always result in a penalty at a minimum, and a yellow card if it is serious enough, as that Kearney incident was.
