You make the call, part whatever

Have to agree with Jurassic on this one. Red's little temper-tantrum was a kick (several, actually). Whether gold retaliates or not, I'm ejecting the original red player for fighting.

So Gold 10 does nothing and then you're ruling that Red 5's kick is ejectionable? When I looked at the video, I only see one kick that is shown in the video. It occured at 00:05.

I looked at the video again, and Gold 9 initially stands NOT straddling Red 5. When Red 4 comes in the play (00:09), it's very possible that she knocked Gold 9 off her balance, causing Gold 9 to regain her balance by stepping over Red 5. Yes, Gold 9's right leg was lifted before Red 4 contacted her, but Gold 9 wasn't off balance then, nor was Gold 9's leg moving forward or over Red 5. Gold 9 then showed due diligence by being careful not to step on anyone.

Absolutely.
