Great article...all this talk about what should if a player does this to another...let 'em play (unless danderous play) this isn't the EPL! Ref's / fans will never see what happens first...example, watching a girl's 4-A game a year ago upstate SC, an offensive player with a defender on her. Player goes to ground and appears to slide tackle other player. After the girl slide tackles she jumps up and starts swinging at the opposing player. Ref issues red card /majority of fans chanting get her off the field. Did she deserve a red card? Well, the reason player appeared to go to the ground on a slide tackle, she was pulled down by her ponytail. Life is not fair nor is the game of soccer, the best team on the field is not always the winner...DEAL WITH IT!! Let 'em play.
