[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw an attacking player foul the defender who had successfully shielded the ball.  The defender fell as a result of the foul and ended up with the ball trapped under his body.  The ref blew his whistle, but the attacker continued and kicked the ball hard right into the defender.  Should this have been a red card?[/quote]

This doe not answer your question directly but this is what the Laws say.  This is from Law 12. A referee would have to deem it violent conduct.  So the answer is maybe.

Sending-off offences
A player, substitute or substituted player who commits any of the following offences is sent off:

denying the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by a handball offence (except a goalkeeper within their penalty area)

denying a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity to an opponent whose overall movement is towards the offender’s goal by an offence punishable by a free kick (unless as outlined below)

serious foul play

biting or spitting at someone

violent conduct

using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or action(s)

receiving a second caution in the same match

entering the video operation room (VOR)[/quote]
