I’m sure he wasn’t intending to kick Richards in the head, so why if he accidentally catches him on the head is it a possible red, but if he crashes back down through his knee it’s not even a yellow? Isn’t it reckless to be swinging your leg in the air like that where you can’t easily control it, regardless of what part of an opponent’s anatomy you ultimately connect with?
