[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 594901, member: 20605"] Some of the yellow card call were just plain wrong. One of them was wrong in Law and therefore a possible Law error. [B]1st Yellow Card: 27 min against Gold 7 for a dangerous tackle.[/B] IMO, this was not even a penalty kick. The Green player jumped into the tackle, making contact with Gold 7's shoulder as he stooped to tackle him. There was no lift and the rotation of the Green player was purely down to his feet being off the ground while he was in forward motion. What was Gold 7 supposed to, just vanish? However, in the aftermath, there was some handbags during which Green 3 makes, IMO, intentional contact with the eyes of a Gold player. This should have been a RC against Green 3. [B]2nd Yellow Card: 39 min against Green 5 for striking[/B] Green 5 used an intentional, swinging elbow to the face of the Gold ball-carrier. Even the South African commentator said it was [I]"a shocker"[/I]. For me, this a stone-cold Red Card, all day, every day. [B]3rd [/B][B]Yellow Card[/B][B]: 66 min against Green 8 for intentional knock on[/B] Fair call, no problem [B]4th [/B][B]Yellow Card[/B][B]: 74 min against Gold 19 for striking[/B] Gold 19 launched forearm first into a pair of players (one Gold, one Green) on the ground. His forearm misses the Green player completely, and strikes the Gold player. This is not even a penalty, let alone a yellow card... [TEXTAREA]10.4 DANGEROUS PLAY AND MISCONDUCT (a) Punching or striking. A player must not strike [B]an opponent[/B] with the fist or arm, including the elbow, shoulder, head or knee(s). Sanction: Penalty kick[/TEXTAREA] It is not an offence to strike a team-mate, only an opponent. IMO, this is a Law error by Garces. [B]Summary[/B] Out of the four yellow cards he gave, he only got one right. Prior to issuing the first yellow card, he had asked the TMO, Graham Hughes, for advice on the dangerous tackle [U][I]and[/I][/U] the handbags that occurred afterwards, then once he saw the tackle on the big screen, he cut the TMO off before he had finished speaking. Essentially, it looks like he forgot that he had asked about the handbags as well. This means he missed a potentially serious offence by Green 3, the possible eye-gouge. IMO, Garces performance was well below the standards required for this competition. [/QUOTE]
