[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 1048832, member: 55747"] That was one of the most bizarre arguments I've ever heard from a ref. 9 Arg is in a legal position, the referee not only sees that but says it out loud while talking to the TMO and ARs. But because 9's position it is inconvenient to a guy running a line from 20 meters back that is mitigation for a card when he jumps for the ball. I can understand a call i disagree with. Maybe he saw something i did not, or maybe he missed something. Maybe he is applying another rule. Here i sincerely do not understand the call. How is a player whose position in the field is legal a mitigating factor for an opponent's illegal action? The principles were quite simple: when it comes to balls in the air, either you compete or beware of the impact you have on the opponent going up for the ball. If u misread or didn't see something, it's on you. Period. Now the one winning the ball in the air is penalized for his own teammate's legal position. We've lost the plot. [/QUOTE]
