Add kicking out to throwing a punch as things that are not a Red in Scottish fitba.
Beckham received a red for much the same in the World Cup Finals...Don't thin the ref was Scottish though!!

Kicking out at someone off the ball is a definite red card, no matter how puny it might look. Ridiculous that it's been overturned. We'll continue to be a league full of hammer throwers with these farcical appeal decisions.
Personally, I don't think anything should be a "definite red card". Referees are paid to use their discretion. Surely attempting to break a guy's leg with a viscous kick deserves a greater punishment than a puny, half-hearted wave of the foot. Another one that makes me shake my head in disbelief is the number of red cards issued for 'head butting" when all that usually happens is that somebody nods in the direction of an opponent, or at worst, lightly brushes his hair against his forehead. Common sense is what' needed, not strict adherence to what is wrongly perceived as strict rules.

Maybe this is because we play in Scotland, but I'd sure as eff not want any grey area regarding refereeing decisions. Referee discretion is a get out of jail free card for these buffoons.

Can anyone explain why, at one point on Sunday, Thomson wouldn't allow us to take a quick FK in our own box to get the ball moving again. Repeatedly he blew for us to move the ball back 5 yards or so.

I understand there's a need to stick to the letter of the law to a degree, but the placement of the ball there had little bearing on the game in terms of a goal being scored or the like. We see this every week, referees choosing specific moments to apply their authority and then literally seconds later ignoring the exact same offence - a throw-in or FK taken 10 yards further up the pitch.

The inconsistency is effing infuriating.
Pure guesswork, but from memory I remember us taking a FK from inside our box and the player it was passed to was still in the box too - which isnt allowed. Similar to a by kick, if a free kick is within your own area the ball must be recieved outside the area. So I thought at the time that, that was the reason the FK was asked to be taken again - and not that it was from the wrong position.
Hadnt a clue that rule applied to fks in your own box, thought it was just for goal kicks. Take it it's an older rule introduced to prevent the defender kicking the ball straight to his own keepers hands?
A goal kick is an indirect free kick; hence the reason you cannot score from one.

was never a red card.

farcical for anyone to argue it was.

Rule

Violent conduct is when a player uses or attempts to use excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball, or against a team-mate, team official, match official, spectator or any other person, regardless of whether contact is made.

Bobo got a straight red for something very similar, I remember (even less, actually). Got upended and pushed the offending player away with his feet while on the deck. 'Reckless' 'dangerous' etc etc was the prevailing cry from the press at the time. I'm pretty sure MON didn't appeal it. It goes without saying that, at most, the player who turned him over got a yellow card at most, if that.

And it seems that BBB missed the following game against the huns as a result - curious that. And the shrinking violet on the end of his assault - some wee guy called Scott Brown. Wonder what came of him?

On the contrary, the rule seems to suggest it was a definite red card, particularly as the offence is 'regardless of whether contact is made' and was made 'against an opponent when not challenging for the ball'.

I agree. Yellow card was the one to give as it has been downgraded to. Good week for Kipre. He's been called into the Ivory Coast squad.

Not that laughable really. Sounds like most of those refs are complaining about the same kind of things we do: preferential treatment for some refs, nepotism, lack of accountability etc.
