    Big Dave could be tempted then to play Brunt as CF

    It would be a huge loss, if he gets banned!

    That link just took me to the telegraph website, but I just had a look at it again on sky and it looks like zorro did put his foot on Gayle's foot.

    At the match last night it looked like a dive in all honesty, but there does appear to be contact and it would be harsh to ban him.

    For me it was karma. Before the penalty the baldy with the mask held Gayle back from going through one on one with the keeper and did not get penalised. There was no other defender there so following the letter of the law he should have been sent off. All this moral indignation coming from other teams fans. The truth of the matter is people only shout out about these sort of decisions if it is not in their favour. Villa fans would have been laughing at us if Tammy Abraham had scored Rodrigues goal against us. Forest fans would have been laughing if Grabban had earned the penalty that Gayle did. Suck it up and move on. There will be and has been important decisions that go against us. Boro's last minute winner against us at their ground was a blatant handball. Sh*t happens. Get over it. Ashley Young at the Vile and still at Man Utd has made a career out of going to ground at the slightest touch of a butterfly's wing.

    If anything happens to Gayle it is an absolute disgrace as Roofe scored a winner for Leeds with his hand that would have made Thierry Henry proud and there was no retro action against him and that is more blatant than what happened last night.

    Here's a link of roofe's handball and ironically it was against Forest too:

    He's been charged by the fa, shocking when Roofe gets away with that blatant handball.

    If the ref hadn't have gave the pen & we'd have lost 1:2 no one would have said anything, ban the ref for 2 games he's got it wrong & he's got 2 officials to help him out as well , not ban Gayle .

    That is what I thought even if he did appear to take flight

    You can't blame the officials. None of them dived, they were merely duped. It's a bold step by the F.A. to start banning players post match for diving, one that could leave them very busy people but one that could stop the diving fiasco. It's a pity players feel the need to cheat the way they do.
