Where have all the old guys gone?

‘Make the most of it’, in this instance indicates my opinion that Lawrence probably could have stayed on his feet but opted to go to ground in an effort to make it clear that that the defender had caught his standing foot.

That’s not cheating...had there not been any contact it would have been, but there was contact, albeit slight. We, as a team, have come unstuck many times recently when much more blatant ‘penalties’ haven’t been given and we’ve paid the price, so I don’t blame Lawrence for, as I described, ‘making the most of it’.

He endeavoured to leave the referee in no doubt that he had been caught...had there been no contact I would honestly argue that he should have been punished retrospectively but, imo, the defenders boot caught Lawrence’s and that’s all there is to it...no cheating, no retrospective punishment...and the ref wasn’t conned.

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. If Lawrence could have stayed on his feet but opted to go to ground then that's cheating. I can't help wondering if you'd be making the same justification had it been a Forest player

Got to agree on that one, but we are SOOOO far away from that level of honesty now...
