I'm having a debate with another ref here and we cannot agree.
If you see a player punch another player in the stomach ( not head ), without being provoked, would you think about a YC or a RC ?
If a player is provoked ( let's say by being held illegally off the ball by pulling his shirt ) does this mitigate his punch to the body ?
If a player is held illegally and reacts by a punch to the head, is that a RC regardless of provocation ?
i.e. Does a strike to the head demand a higher-level penalty than a punch to the stomach ?
Opinions ?
