She could've broken her face really badly.
Bloody ordinary.
Well it makes all the difference - particularly in regards to a tribunal.
It's a horrible look and act, agreed, and could've ended very badly.. I was just asking if she got her.. probably looks worse than it was - may also explain why it was only a yellow instead of what thought was an obvious red.
Another classic example of the act being punished not the outcome.
Would've thought that's a red card all day.

Agreed, and that the way it used to be.
This particular act is precisely the reason why you should penalise the act and not the outcome. Reckless, Intentional, unprovoked and had the capacity to cause significant injury. Just luck or lack of skill that it didn't. Intent was clear, just lucky she executed poorly.
Watching this as a father i can see for the first time how the game has been looked at by mums not wanting their boys to play. I don't want my daughters out on the field with this sort of stuff going on.
Has to be a huge penalty. No excuse.
