Question Number: 20074Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 9/26/2008RE: AYSO Under 15 Jack of Santa Ana, CA USA asks...This question is a follow up to question 20056 In reference to Referee Contarino's response, wouldn't the call that should have been made a Send Off (Red Card) for Serious Foul Play (SFP) since the Misconduct was an excessive force foul. The ball was in play at the time and thus should not be violent conduct (VC). Am I missing something. Also, thanks to everyone there for your thoughtful responses and expertise. Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol If the opponent was making a legitimate play for the ball, it would have been serious foul play. But when the goalkeeper has the ball in her hands, she cannot be legally challenged. Therefore any agression against her is sanctioned the same as if the ball was out of play or was not near the players - violent conduct.
