Regarding the Traore issue; yes I believe that the rule is that you get an indirect free kick for dangerous play. However, it is difficult to say whether Traore's incident was dangerous; refree obviously believed so.
Bouazza should never have scored for Watford, that was a clear foul...

It's been awhile since I refereed a game but I think since he made contact with his dangerous kick it's considered a foul and should have been a yellow card and a penalty. But then again, what do I know?

OR, are u sure? i always thought that it was an indirect free kick for dangerous play..

I think that he made contact supercedes the dangerous play. Otherwise that would lead to "You didn't kick him high enough for it to be an indirect FK" syndrome.

Law 12
=====
A direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any of the following six offences in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force:

* kicks or attempts to kick an opponent
* trips or attempts to trip an opponent
* jumps at an opponent
* charges an opponent
* strikes or attempts to strike an opponent
* pushes an opponent

# An indirect free kick is also awarded to the opposing team if a player, in the opinion of the referee:
# plays in a dangerous manner
# impedes the progress of an opponent
# prevents the goalkeeper from releasing the ball from his hands

yea, phil i guess thats probably it... gr8 bit of research guys...nonetheless its still a bit doubtful..
and this is where i want to ask u:
When a refree isnt sure of a penalty, who should be awarded the benefit of his doubt?? Should the striker get it or should it go to the defender...?
