Yea from what i heard the the lallana thing was pretty conclusive and really stupid... but he hasnt done it before so im hoping t was just in the heat of the moment. But back to sharp i am feeling a lot better about it, was really worried he had done a Brighton, but am much happier after watching it. Admittedly he could have probably stayed up... but i dont think many people will go to ground when being pushed by the neck! So yea glad it was just West ham fans
Lallana has been yellow carded for simulation, but on that occasion I think the Official made a mistake as video evidence after the game clearly showed that he was tripped, I am not sure what he was thinking on Tuesday unless it was some sort of point making about the WHU dive? Sharp only went down from the force of the push, look at the reaction of Taylor after he had done it, he realised straight away he had gone OTT, and was as annoyed with himself as his team mates were with him, it was fortunate that the rest of our players kept their cool and didn't go bundling in, Brighton style, or it could have got very nasty, the red brought everyone to their senses and although game was played hard it was mostly fair, some players did get yellows afterwards and all were justified, Lee Probert had been given a real tinderbox, some Referees would have lost it completely, he didn't. You have to admit the WHU fans are very loyal to their side (I am being a bit restrained there), if anything too narrow minded, no doubt they did intimidate the officials throughout the game, but that is the way they are.
