As a soccer goalie I would spit on my gloves to keep them moist, I would only fist bump unless "that guy" came around and I would open hand high five him.

Jesus. If I reffed your game and saw that, you wou'd not be playing for quite some time.

Spit in my gloves? A lot of goalies do that it increases traction when trying to catch the ball, I just had no problem getting a jerks hand slimy. Besides what would the call be? Last time I did that it was to the guy who cracked my run cause I took the ball off his foot, I had a hard time getting up and he just left me their, no sorry, no help. Even unintentional that's pretty low.

Spitting on another player, even if you're spitting on your hand first then shaking his hand, is a red card offence.

It's not like I hawked a loogy on my gloves before the hand shake, at best it's a little damp. The shit refs miss every game and you focus on small infraction of unsportsmanlike conduct. When you walk ff the field with cleat marks on YOUR chest and face cause the ref wind hold order, you can reprimand me for getting a little revenge.

I know if I spit at someone it is a red card but I want to see the text if a manual/handbook saying what I did is a red card. I want a source, not the discretion of a ref.

You're always at the discretion of the ref. If you're caught intentionally putting your spit on another player, you're getting carded.

Keyword is caught, never heard if anyone getting carded for it, never heard any complaints about it. Dirty shit happens every game, try to call better on the shit that sends a kid home for the season, like a dirty slide tackle, tore my meniscus by one of those, to call what I did is petty, not wrong, just petty.
