[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 525560, member: 20605"] I'm really surprised none of the Aussie poster have brought up McCabe's yellow card. I though that was a very harsh decision. For once, I actually agreed with the Aussie commentators. I thought it was just a tackle with no ruck formed. Hernandez was the first Argentinian player there and went straight off his feet (onto his knees with his left hand supporting him on the ground) and sealed off the ball (and that's a penalty right there). He was definitely off his feet [U]before[/U] McCabe touched him, so no ruck can form (ruck formation requires a minimum of one player from each team BOTH on their feet). While its still a tackle, Landajo arrives and Mccabe immediately shoves him away. That's a clean out in my book, and therefore in accordance with Law 15.7 (d) [TEXTAREA](d) Players on their feet must not charge or obstruct an opponent who is not near the ball.[/TEXTAREA] How can standing right over the ball trying to pick it up not be near the ball? IMO, the Yellow card was not warranted, in fact the penalty should have gone the other way for Hernandez off his feet and sealing off. [/QUOTE]
