Um Bongo Posted 29 December, 2009 Posted 29 December, 2009 Just seen the 'highlights' on the BBC. Couldn't see the penalty. Terrible.
Saint_clark Posted 29 December, 2009 Posted 29 December, 2009 Just seen the 'highlights' on the BBC. Couldn't see the penalty. Terrible. Not their fault to be fair....
stevegrant Posted 29 December, 2009 Posted 29 December, 2009 Thought it was a dive at the time and that video's not altered my opinion, to be honest!
Chez Posted 29 December, 2009 Posted 29 December, 2009 I thought at the time that he dived. There may well have been contact (not sure) but `he went down' with ease shall we say. What goes around...
Tractor_Saint Posted 29 December, 2009 Posted 29 December, 2009 Posted on other thread but more apt to be in here... Lamberts penalty : Lamberts Freekick :

What goes around... Well yeah, certainly not complaining given the amount of **** they got away with all afternoon. That incident that particularly annoyed me was when Gillespie blatantly dived over on the right touchline. The ref gave us the throw-in rather than the free-kick he was looking for, so he must have seen the dive, but didn't book him, and instead decided to book Trotman for having a go at him.

What was even worse was the player who deliberately went behind Waigo who was walking backwards so that he would knock him over, and then grabbed his ankle in apparent agony to make it seem that he had been stamped on.

Good point, I'd forgotten about that one!
Window Cleaner Posted 29 December, 2009 Posted 29 December, 2009 Difficult to tell from the clip, keeper swings his leg but our guy sure does go down like a sack of ....spuds

Since when did pointing out that an oponent has cheated constitute a yellow card yet cheating and getting caught does not? I also wasn't impressed by Thomas getting a yellow card for being attacked by an oponent, although I admit I didn't see that incident quite so clearly.

Cheating bastard.
Chez Posted 29 December, 2009 Posted 29 December, 2009 Difficult to tell from the clip, keeper swings his leg but our guy sure does go down like a sack of ....spuds he's also running nowhere, which is the vital clue.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 30 December, 2009 Posted 30 December, 2009 Think of it this way - If that had happened in the middle of the field it would have been a free kick. You can't go swinging your leg out nowhere near the ball. It was in the box, it was a penalty.
