At worst that is a penalty and a booking.

The bloke ducked his head, when the ball was clearly already being played.

However, it was in the box, head high boot. Dont think he touched him tbh, but the decision was correct.

On account of the fact that I don't think he touched him, it's not a penalty. Bit silly of Shaw but it's not as if the attacker got to the ball first is it?

As mentioned though, it's only a good thing for the game!

Dangerous play. Head high boot. At best missed by an inch. How can it not be a foul?

Means overhead kicks are illegal and is an indirect free kick at worst still

I think the attacker is going in there with no intention to win the ball and every intention to get a foul, so it's cheap.

I wouldn't argue that much though, can see why it's given obviously.

You don’t need contact for it to be a foul

It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.

Harsh. I've seen players sent off for similar though, so could have been worse.

So what is the offence then? Break it down what he has done wrong.

Not for me at all.
Shaw cleared the ball and didn't touch the attacker, if I was either of them I'd just think it was a decent clearance and nothing more

From this:

https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11

The offence was in the eyes of the referee either:

Direct free kick

A direct free kick is awarded if a player commits any of the following offences against an opponent in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force:
Reckless is when a player acts with disregard to the danger to, or consequences for, an opponent and must be cautioned

or:

PLAYING IN A DANGEROUS MANNER

Playing in a dangerous manner is any action that, while trying to play the ball, threatens injury to someone (including the player themself) and includes preventing a nearby opponent from playing the ball for fear of injury.

A scissors or bicycle kick is permissible provided that it is not dangerous to an opponent.

He did a scissor kick, no one was hurt

What does the FA link say the outcome is for the bottom offence?

I thought Shaw raised one boot rather than performed a scissor kick.

On reading the full link it would seem the offences are liable to the following action:

Reckless play - direct free kick and player cautioned
Dangerous play - indirect free kick and no caution.

So if my reading of those laws is correct (no guarantees there of course) some here thought, at worst, it was dangerous play by Shaw but, judging by the outcome, the referee considered it reckless.

Which would be an indirect free-kick rather than a penalty, wouldn't it? If there was contact it would be a foul and a penalty, as I understand the laws on these sorts of incident.

“judging by the outcome, the referee considered it reckless”

Indeed, as evidenced by the caution.

Well sort of but I can see why the referee came to the decision that he did. Not a "full blown" scissor kick in my view. It seemed more like the kind of "high boot" incident that can be seen many times over the course of a season and that, assuming the proximity of an opposing player, will be given as a free kick - sometimes direct, sometimes indirect I grant you. Isn't interpretation wonderful?

Anyway kind of academic as neither of us were refereeing the game. The man who was gave a penalty and appears to have the backing of the rulebook for the decision he made.

Seems pretty clear that the rule book says indirect at worst

If the ref considers it dangerous play then yes.
If the ref considers it reckless play then no.

I appreciate and understand that you don't agree with the referee's interpretation of the laws of the game. All I am suggesting is that there is adequate flexibility within the appropriate rules for the referee to come to the conclusion that he did.
