    Re the penalty Mike.
    On the day ( I was there, were you?) it was very very obviously a good legitimate tackle. On the highlights, I agree it was ambiguous, but, on a twitter feed (can't find it anymore) that was on a loop, the tackle was excellent and no way a penalty. The player was actually going down (diving??) before Ng got the ball.

    No, I wasn't at the match but few fans can actually see these incidents clearly from the stands or even who scores goals sometimes and then you can see the difference when they are seen almost forensically on the later highlights and slow replays and why we can see the tackle 'clearly' failed in that he didn't get the ball and cut across the player and as a result brought him down and what's more the Ref was just a few yards away and made his decision right away. Just my opinion even though it was hotly disputed by McGarry and Morse and fans are naturally prejudiced lol. DA will get into trouble for his after match comments though. DA was in no position to judge as he was too far away and too many players in the way. I doubt he will appeal after seeing it later.

    I think 62 years of me supporting CAFC and going to away matches when I was the only fan there entitles me to a view though!
