He made a conscious decision to lunge studs showing with his foot around 6 foot in the air in the box. He probably didn't mean to 'do' Fry (I'll wait until I've seen a bit more of his career before deciding if he is a Lineker or a Barton), he might have meant to intimidate him and make Fry pull out of the challenge, or he may just have made a ridiculously daft decision to dangerously lunge for a ball he wasn't going to get. It really doesn't matter, in footballing terms it is the kind of mistake that any defender needs to remove from their game and any player would be angry if they were on the end of it. Pretending it didn't happen doesn't teach the lad anything.
Of course it isn't a conscious decision
