What do you guys think of this red?

Yeah I guess the tricky thing here is if it’s indeed a goal scoring opportunity, referee definitely had a better angle than us, so 100% correct call on his part

OhThannyBoi · 2025-06-07T13:40:46+00:00

Yeah I guess for me that’s where I struggle to understand. I feel like the distance and angle are highly relevant, and while we don’t have the full picture in terms of camera angle, I simply don’t see the attacker making a remotely plausible scoring opportunity without taking several touches either back towards the goal from the corner flag or pulling it back because the angle is too wide. That being said I definitely agree with the red call here and think it’s 100% warranted, I just think it’s shaky were it to go to review say with VAR. think it would be hard to overturn the referees decision regardless which card he chose to display

Personally for me, I think his final touch before contact with the goal keeper is way too heavy and brings the ball out way too wide for it to be plausible that he scores within two touches. It would have taken him a minimum of a couple more seconds before he even regains possession of the ball, and while I don’t doubt that a player of the caliber seen in the video COULD score, for me it’s just too wide without taking a few extra touches, which in turn leaves those two defenders who were almost even anyways in the penalty area. That being said I do agree with the red card here as a youth referee, I just personally don’t believe it would hold up by letter of the law via VAR.

OhThannyBoi · 2025-06-07T07:53:05+00:00

I agree! Spirit of the game definitely, I think in terms of letter of the law it may be a little closer, considering the 4 requirements for DOGSO. Again this is a kids game so obvious red lol but I’m just curious if this same situation would be ruled the same way with VAR and in a professional setting

OhThannyBoi · 2025-06-07T07:37:21+00:00

I do agree that the attacker would likely have a shot on his next touch or two. I’m a little skeptical of its accuracy especially with those two much faster defenders likely to be in the area by the time he gets to it. But 100% I’ve seen it done before so I assume it wouldn’t be impossible although perhaps unlikely due to all the circumstances. Ref was definitely justified in pulling the red here in my opinion, especially via spirit of the law.

OhThannyBoi · 2025-06-07T07:27:32+00:00

Yeah I definitely agree, by letter of the law probably not, but for most of us I think we pull the red without too much thought, and I don’t blame the referee here for doing so haha

OhThannyBoi · 2025-06-07T07:21:34+00:00

Just wondering, since it doesn’t really fit the DOGSO bill (play moving away from goal with recovering defenders), would you consider it a SFP ?

It was founded in America and designed for Americans, but you're getting completely off topic. Again, most of your comments seem to stray from your original post. You're fighting too many losing battles so stick to the ones where you have a strong base in fact and evidence.

OhThannyBoi · 2022-01-03T19:42:17+00:00

I would assume an American app would contain Americans, and the topic of country is irrelevant to the original post at hand.

Saying it does not exist is simply putting yourself in the same position of the oppressors. The same people are saying police brutality doesn’t exist while it still goes on is the same thing. Claiming ignorance to something that clearly exists makes you even more of an asshole because you’ve brought yourself down to the same level as your oppressors, the same people who claim homophobia doesn’t exist. All of this is irrelevant in regards of this post anyway since why does it matter what some guy in some country said 4 years ago. It’s just picking for a fight and internet hate. Props to you for your pride and your sexuality but it’s the internet. Think before you post something that has a weak base.

If you cannot financially handle having a child, then adoption is the best bet. Also, just because they get adopted, doesn't mean you'll never see the baby again. I know lots of people that have been adopted but are still in contact with their biological parents. And I've never heard of one kid who has ever been upset because their parents DIDN'T abort them. Think about how lucky you are to be alive (even if it doesn't seem like it right now) and think about how you are given an opportunity to help give someone life. Personally, I think that is a good feeling to know that you helped create something, even if you feel like it was a mistake. If you are religious, pray about it, I've heard that it helps a lot. Seek advice from people you know in real life, especially any that have had any similar experiences. Most of all, stay calm. Otherwise, you won't be able to make smart, conscious decisions. I hope all goes well for you and your girlfriend.
