The referee had not seen the initial stamping and sent off the player who had retaliated. Charlie asked even if he could not surely identify the stamper should he flag. The overwhelming opinion was yes.
14. Pat Morgan told of an incident where an attacker kicked the goalkeeper. The Referee did not see this incident but in retaliation the keeper kicked the attacker. The Referee gave a penalty.
