| 22. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Sun 10th May 2026. 00:36 I hope we can get away from penalties being given because there was “contact” ![]() It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Reply |
| 23. Author: RhinoPars Date: Sun 10th May 2026. 09:04 I am with Raymie on this one. Yes there was contact but Kizaridis clearly cheated by doing a slightly delayed theatrical dive. For me that was not a natural fall caused by significant contact. Just because you are touched in the penalty box doesn’t justify exaggerating the effect of the contact with “simulation”. I hate that . He should have been booked for simulation as should the Motherwell player who tried to manufacture a penalty later by putting his foot out to the side to try to make contact and then diving to the ground. In my book if there is any obvious simulation a penalty should not be given even if the contact was significant enough to have awarded a penalty in the absence of simulation. This is a cancer spoiling the game. Reply |

That was a stonewaller. There was contact to bring the player down. The added theatre by the player is neither here nor there. Reply |
