Ref did a really good job. The players didn't fall at the slightest contact, but the ref still gave the fouls, as it should be. No reason to dive if you know you'll get the foul. At 9:55 it could have definitely have been a red card though. He lifts his foot last second and goes studs up at his shin. I think if the player goes to ground and actually reacts the ref definitely pulls a red.
Valley shouldn’t have gotten a red. I maybe being biased since I am in the club. But he was just defending himself and teammates are going to retaliate if there mate it in trouble
I don't agree with this. His studs are showing, but there's not much force, and he lifts his leg because he is trying to trip him so there is not any significant danger associated with the tackle. A direct red card for this challenge requires excessive force and a straight leg, not just studs. I think yellow card is the correct decision if the referee deems this to be SPA as I would.
There are two things that come to mind in this video; 1) definitely one of the best referees we have seen on this channel 2)both teams are too skillful for the amount of stupid little chippy fouls
How often do you see teams line up on opposite sides of each other in soccer? I know in American football they do that... Just weird. Was this because this was more of a recreational level of play?
@@nehemiah1393 - yes they do…. One team bench is on the home side and the other is the away bench across the field from them. That’s not how soccer is…
I strongly agree it is not a good call. Especially when it is 0:0. If this team is losing like 4:0 or more I would give that one for comforting but not at close game
I am a youth and HS ref. Those fights are impossible to deal with. Its not like we have VAR. You usually dont see them until after they start. Like this time it was behind you. You just need to call what you see. I think it would have been relatively easy to red card any sub that was on the field. Again, not easy. I thought he did a decent job.
Totally agree. There is no way to do it. You are facing the other way. He picked out two kids for red cards -- maybe he got it right - maybe he didnt -- but he was quick to get it defused. As to the calls -- i laugh when i see it in slow motion -- because we have to call it in real time -- while watching everything around us.
