No I can't cite a specific example, but I've seen players clear a ball in the box following a set-piece in any number of ways, the only reason this is being criticised as so monumentally stupid is because the Leeds player steamed in fully cognizant of the situation and headbutted his foot. Had that part not happened and the ball just been cleared unchallenged nobody would have even batted an eyelid.
To claim that you've never seen a defender clear a ball in such a way is at best disingenuous.
Remember VDV in the Europa final? If a Man Utd player had stuck his head on the end of VDVs toe during that would it have been a pen? Would Mickey have been stupid for that?
That you admit the Leeds player has read it and gone for the easy pen, doesn't that strike you as being the equivalent of "leaving a leg out" and "looking for it"? Usually those situations se no pen given and the player on the receiving end being criticised for their action.
