[QUOTE="Bluemoon, post: 863053, member: 38204"] My take on this one is that it's all about the focus on any contact with the head which could be deemed a red card. Is that enough to trigger a citing? I think it raises the interesting debate around ,not so much intent, but whether SOB was doing all he can to safeguard the attacking player whilst still allowing for the fact that it is a contact sport. There in lies a grey area. How do you make a decision on that? Naholo ducks down, SOB use his swings his arm in. Do you go with bad and unlucky timing by both, or that SOB was dangerous in throwing his arm in like that in the first place? Hard to be objective here. [/QUOTE]
