We Appeal Richard Tait's Yellow Card

[Wellup4it]

The BBC reports that we have appelead Richard Tait's yellow card for diving or simulation as the SFA term it. Quite right too.

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.

I've said for years if a player is fouled and then dives I'd give the foul and book him anyway.

Well, you're not only wrong now IMO - you must've been wrong for those years previously. Had that been a competent referee last weekend, he'd have seen the foul, and also realised there was some 'embellishment' thereafter. But ... a foul's a foul.

Yep and a dive's a dive.
