pete 2,499 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I am watching it. Jon i think you are the only one in the world who doesn't think that Thomson took a blatant dive. Samaras had stopped when Thomson hit him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlock 0 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Was it just me or did they have a lot more efforts on goal than us ?? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Re Thomson incident, it depends what the actualy rules of the game are. We all know Diving isnt allowed and its a bookable offence. But is there a rule when players play for pens and go down with a touch that says this isnt diving??? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 The thing is Thomson's trip was genuine, he even had an injury. It wasn't as if he felt slight contact and deliberately fell over. To me it's no foul but no booking either. Samaras perhaps had a case for a foul for being kicked. If that becomes a booking then it will change the whole game. I think we should get rid of the blatant divers first, before we go into the esoteric interpretation of full contact incidents. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 PS Sutton used to "engineer" free kicks and penalties as a consistent part of his weekly game, but was not hounded to the extent of Thomson. As this is Thomson's "first offence" perhaps we should give him the benefit of the doubt. If it becomes a habit, then it's time for the vilification. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
