Ref fag here.

It's one thing to kick someone in the face. It's another thing entirely to stick your leg out, studs up, and try to ram your foot up his nose.

In my book, that's endangering the safety of the opponent and must be sanctioned as Serious Foul Play.

Not if it was after he'd headed the ball away...

The ball isn't even in the picture. Looks to me like he jumped out and headed the ball away, and as pretty normal for a GK doing a strong header, his body has "rocked".

However, the oncoming attacker didn't deviate from his path like the defender did, and ended up with the boot in the face.

It's unclear what the situation was, but I wouldn't say that there was the intent to harm an opponent if he had just headed/fisted the ball away. Depending on the situation, I wouldn't call a foul, or would perhaps call a yellow card for unsporting behaviour.

I can't see how he's comitting any "foul play". He's perhaps commiting "violent conduct", but there's nothing about his play that's a foul. But if he wasn't going for the ball/he missed the ball/the ball wasn't near him then I'd agree on "violent conduct".

It is, right near the players' knee (the guy who got kicked in face).

Whether it was intentional or not is for the ref to decide. It's hard to see how this happened, and the context in which it happened would effect the decision.

Yellow?! What are you talking about ref, free kick for us pls!

people who have seen the whole thing say a red card would have been appropriate.
later in the game there were three red cards.

tbh it looks a little malicious/i can't see how this was accidental.

i think it was eboue who was sent off for sticking his leg out when going up for a header, and it was nowhere near as high as that, but it was intentional and malicious. i was so glad he was caught out, he's done it before and got away with it, the fucking dirty cheat.

i've noticed some keepers (read: Jens Lehmann) do like to stick their legs out quite considerably when collecting a high ball, but not for just heading it away. why would a keeper jump like that to head the ball?

Ah, hadn't seen it. I thought that was just some bandage/knee support/other random stupid underarmor/part of the kit/whatever.

I agree with>>91017. Should have been a red.

Wiese's actions constitute either "kicking" or "striking' an opponent, depending on how you look at it. Since it was 1) committed against an opponent, 2) committed on the field of play, and 3) committed while the ball was in play, it can be defined as a foul, and thus Serious Foul Play. Nothing in the Laws says that a foul has to be intentional, with the exception of handling which must be "deliberate."

You COULD call it Violent Conduct, but that's usually reserved for an unequivocal act of intentional violence, and that may or not have been the case here.

I suspect he likely did not intend, per se, to stick a boot in the opponent's sinuses, but the fact that his action was excessively reckless to the point that it unnecessarily endangered the safety of the opponent makes it Serious Foul Play.


For most fouls punishable by direct free kick, there's four levels of seriousness.

0 - Trivial
Doesn't need to even be acknowledged unless absolutely necessary for match control purposes. These are the fouls that really don't affect the fouled player in the slightest.

1 - Careless
These are your normal run of the mill fouls. There's typically no need to show a card for one of these unless there's a pattern of Persistent Infringement (cautionable offense).

2 - Reckless
More serious fouls that highlight a real lack of discretion by the fouling player. Fouls where the opponent is likely vulnerable fall into this category a lot, such as foul slide tackles from behind, hard fouls on the touchline, etc. Fouls in this category should be sanctioned by a caution and yellow card.

3 - Excessive
These fouls go above and beyond reckless in that they either embody so much force or target such an area that they endanger the safety of the opponent. That's the key. They aren't potentially dangerous. They ARE dangerous. ANYTHING in this zone must be sanctioned with a red card and ejection.
