A player clearly head butted another player right in front of a central umpire who blew his whistle reached into his sock pulled out a red card and marched the offender to the interchage..all good so far...came back to his position on the field indicated the free kick and play went on..still all good..now here is where I get confused...moments later the player is replaced (is this allowed) one bench didnt think this was allowed so they went to interchange steward who said it wasnt a red card it was yellow which means he can be replaced(true) but also stated that the player that came off cannot go back on for remainder of game(f#@k now I am confused) when a runner asked central umpire for clarification he said it was a yellow card (either hes color blind or 60 others are)![]()
Somebody got stiffed here but I cant work out who![]()
Was anyone else there that seen it happen??
What should have happened...and yes Ive read the handbook and THINK I know what should have happened...Maybe someone from North Haven?? has a view
the sixteen year old from north haven did get sent from the oval with a red card after a one on one mellee, the greenacres bloke tried to pick on the lad who stood up for himself some words were said and then i turned away briefly and missed the slight contact as someone put it. mind you we were only 15 mts away. the umpire did give a free and showed the red card and escorted him from the field. the interchange is on the other side of the oval so i donot know what happened after that. the other umpire did want to throw the ball up, but the send off umpire re instated the free. no 50 mts. after the game the club was told it should have been a yellow and the umpire was sorry for the mistake. yellow card is replacable. red card: i got four years ago was 20 minutes on the bench and could not be replaced for 10minutes and to rub salt into my wounds got left off from the charge at tynte st. but the club had already suffered by the report losing the prelim.
one on one melee?
