If a player pushes another gently in the chest they are not sent off

If they strike them in the face they are.

As Simon says (touch your nose) there is a clear distinction in the rules when it comes to facial contact.

      - No its not. But he didn't kick out anyway (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 8, 08:48:07
        
        yes it is ... (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Mar 8, 09:05:50
        
        Nope. Any kick out is a foul. Violent conduct requires excessive force or brutality (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 8, 09:28:02
        
        If a player pushes another gently in the chest they are not sent off (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 8, 09:30:43
        
        Interesting ref talk here (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 09:39:16
        
        Interesting how few refs know the rules based on that (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 8, 09:51:51
        
        Many laws are fairly ambiguous (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 09:58:31
        
        Yes, and also I think it’s based on common practice more than the letter of the law (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 8, 10:19:52
        
        VMT (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 10:20:51
        
        Yes, and excessive force is defined too: (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 8, 09:38:17
        
        As it was totally unnecessary (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 09:42:56
        
        He wasn't in danger of injuring Howson (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 8, 09:54:34
        
        Doesn’t take much with studs tbf (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 10:08:48
        
        I suppose if you're counting a slight graze or reddening of the skin (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 8, 10:14:55
        
        I think the main problem is that the presumption of the panel is that the ref was correct (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 8, 10:24:36
        
        If that counts as being in danger of injuring Howson, so does every single tackle (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 8, 09:48:50
        
        Tackles are a necessary part of the game though (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 09:52:15
        
        Yes there is, but the language used is the same (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 8, 10:21:28
        
        Can’t injure someone by pushing them (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 09:33:43
        
        Yep (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 09:22:42
        
        Could certainly be interpreted that way. Anything more than no force is excessive!! (n/m) (NCFC) - JD3, Mar 8, 08:57:15
    - I think he should win the appeal. Different rules vs if it was howson’s face (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 8, 08:33:25
  - All depends on interpretation I think (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 08:25:47
- BEEP BEEP BEEP (NCFC) - norwaay, Mar 8, 08:13:28
  - .... (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, Mar 8, 08:38:31
  - ... (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Mar 8, 08:25:50
  - However the appeal goes (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 08:24:00
  - 😂😂😂 (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 8, 08:23:30
