    Having got away with one yesterday, we're possibly not in the best position to bring the topic up. The difference is, though, that nobody in a claret and amber strip did anything to con the ref - we just got lucky. Quite a bit different from the context in Dingwall, so I hope that the Compliance folk take a long, hard look and, if they come up with a 'guilty of diving' verdict, that action is taken against the diver. County's point could come at a price.

    Aye but we already know the price...it'll be a couple of games ban, nothing more.

    The authorities have no interest in cracking down on cheating because it would firstly require some tough decisions and secondly would lead to 'stars' being banned...and when you flog your product for millions and millions, you don't ban the thing people want to buy.

    I used to get wound up by players diving but tbh I've just got used to it...Schalk had next to nothing to lose in that moment and potentially a lot to gain, I don't blame him for doing what he did. I bet no one in his own dressing room criticises him - his manager certainly didn't - and if we win like that against Dundee or whoever next you won't hear me complaining about it.
