Players collide.

Quando jogadores colidem

Quando jogadores colidem

Two players collide when they jump to head a high ball. One falls to the ground holding his head, so you call on the physio. But while you are waiting, you notice the big screen showing a replay: the player being treated had been viciously, deliberately elbowed by his opponent. The crowd go wild. Now that you have seen the incident on the replay, what should you do?

 

You are the ref

Read the statements below and decide which is best. In this case, what would you do?
You should punish the player!

Sorry, that's not right. As hard as it may be, no, you cannot take any action. 

Keith Hackett: You are not allowed to use the big screen in the decision-making process (and the screen should not have shown the incident). You should, though, communicate with your assistants to seek their view on the challenge – but if they’ve seen nothing wrong, that is the end of the matter. The situation would later be looked at by the FA, who could take it further if they were satisfied that none of the match officials had witnessed the elbowing.

You should ignore it and do nothing.

Well done.

Certainly a booking incident and we have VAR now, so that doesn't sound right at all.

This question about V.A.R system which wasn't applied then. The offensive player should be sent off by red card. After getting confirmation about position from the assistant referee.

That's awkward. The ref has seen it and will let the player to go away with it!. It doesnt matter how he checked the foul as long as the played committed a dangerous foul.

Probably the VAR would help me, if I was the ref.

in countries that have faulty screens the assistant referees will be of great importance

Using the screen is not allowed and i think the idea of using it in the future is not good because the match will take longer time.

Interesting debate: whether to allow watching replays or not? On the one hand, it will definitely improve the quality of the decision-making process and really make it a 'fair play'. On the other hand, the human factor adds to the emotional sensitivity of a football match.
