Definitely red for me. Strongly leaning toward VC rather than SFP. Definitely not DOGSO-F because there is a covering defender.
I was going to say the exact same thing. If you issue a red card, and then use that language in the report, it will get thrown out.
That is a red card for me (albeit not for the announcer, who deems it "a bit unjust"). But do we write it up as SFP or VC?
VC for me. The ball wasn't close enough to the defender IMO to consider it an attempt at playing the ball.
