Suggest before anyone comments they read the relevant law! It has changed over time and making contact with the head is not necessarily a red card.

Yes, the word negligible was added.  I'm sure that had Walker been sent off it would have been overturned on appeal as there was no contact (so no strike) and the force used was non-existent as he missed.

In addition, a player who, when not challenging for the ball, deliberately strikes an opponent or any other person on the head or face with the hand or arm, is guilty of violent conduct unless the force used was negligible.

Except it wasn’t negliable - far from it. I actually agree with boz that Walker was fouled and so this could have been avoided had that been given.
I wonder what would have happened had the Brighton lad gone down holding his face?

I don't think a yellow card for Walker was unreasonable - I wouldn't have overturned the decision either way.

I think Friend is favourite for the final - small chance of Pawson perhaps.

It surely has to be Kevin Friend or Craig Pawson for the final- doesn't it?

One would have thought it surely must be....and yet when it comes to the FA Cup Final Appointment, nothing is ever totally sure

It probably wouldn't have been considered 'negligible' then...
