Seemed to lose control of himself, shouting angrily at players

The original incident was unfortunate as at most other grounds there is more space. As contact was on FOP any action would have included a penalty. We have allowed defenders to shepherd the ball out for many a year, without the ball always being in playing distance.

Separate issue: why was a player allowed back onto the field when clearly he hit his head/face/neck on a solid, inanimate object? He should be off for a through assessment, temporarily replaced aa required. Madness
