Craig 6700 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Stupid rule, along with people getting booked for taking their shirt off nowadays. They should focus on improving the rules and officials as they are, rather than add silly new ways to discipline players. 79505[/snapback] Didn't they do away with that again? 79518[/snapback] Cahill got done for it last season. 80131[/snapback] Which was the catalyst for binning the stupid fucking rule... After all is said and done, I do personally think it's pathetic to caution a player for doing what Robben did however we have seen examples of players jumping into the crowd before and the ref booking him for it so in retrospect given that Robben was on a yellow, he perhaps should have thought about it before he did it... Yeah I know - hindsight is a wonderful thing and all that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds too stupid for words, so that's probably it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 4222 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 About the ronaldo booking again, i'd like to know something. Isn't it necessary for contact to have been made for a booking?? I'd thought so, and pundits on espn were going on about how ronaldo's challenge should only have been a yellow since there was no real contact. Can a player actually be sent off for bad intent?? Watching the tackle live my first reaction was that it should be a red card. And i hate ronaldo as much as anyone, the way he waves around his hands asking for other players to be booked is disgraceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 2 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 If the Citeh player hadn't jumped he could have had his leg broken, and there would be no debate at all. It is wrong to base a player's punishment on their victim's ability (or lack of) to get out of the way - Ronaldo was sent off for what HE did.

Yes, player's intent is a huge factor in a referee's decision, always has been as far as I know! Edited January 16, 2006 by DotBum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyhall 0 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) A player can be done for intent. Booked or Sent off if he: Trips or attempts to trip Punches or attempts to punch Kicks or attempts to kick depending on ferocity of challenge. Definately right to send off Ronaldo. The foot was very high and he came in with his other foot. That could have badly hurt Cole if the leg made contact.
