Irrespective of goal scoring opportunities, grabbing someone round the
ankle (rather than say just knocking into him) whilst in full flight as
Lehman did, is highly dangerous and is of course serious foul play. The
red card was deserved just for that. The first thing that referees mustn't
lose sight of is their role of protecting all the other players on the
pitch.
It didn't look so dangerous to me but perhaps I am mistaken. Keepers flying
into players and "knocking" them as you put it is far more likely to result
in a broken leg IMHO.How does this fit with the ref taking no action for the
boot in the groin later on ?
If the ref was REALLY protecting the players from each other then that
appeared to be a far more dangerous incident.
