Looks like a sound appeal. The TV pictures seem to show contact with our man.
Just a pity the rules don't allow an appeal for Dunne's yellow card.
Based on what I've seen re Tait's 'dive', it should be a fairly straightforward SFA 'hand's up - our man got it soooo wrong'.
Just because there was contact doesn't mean it wasn't a dive...no complaints from me.
There was contact. Lets say Tait made the most of it.
So, to clarify: hwat you are saying is that if a player dives or maybe overeggs a foul he should be yellow carded? There is some merit in that bu Barry Cook still got it wrong by not awarding a penalty. Again the big issue here is one of consistency.Quote:
