Except it wasn't in a marking contest...

He literally marked the ball, that is a marking contest 100% of the time.

Nothing wrong with sticking out a leg/knee to protect yourself. It's been a part of football for 100+ years

Boot to face in that manner isn't legal. Nor was it a mark. Some very bizarre opinions being shared on this board.

Boot to the face it no different to a driving knee to the face. The driving knee to the face is extremely more dangerous.

Fine:


Not fine:

Should have gotten up, it was only a knee:


Yeah, a leading boot is far more dangerous than a knee to the head...

The fact that Greene did it means motivation is called into question.
A recidivous with a long record was busy being wrong again. He sure is a piece of work ... very good but he fails minimum standards
Got a history of doing his more infamous work later in the night when football club morphed into night club.

High contact to the head, above insufficient force, is absolutely a free kick. Perhaps only when an opponent ducks is it allowed, even then, not really - see Duckwood. I'm not going to trawl through the rule book now though.

Should have been a free kick obviously, not the mark of the year.
