    None of which apply in this case. So, it's a dive and a yellow card for simulation.

    ...simulation for me would have been where there was no contact ... there was contact ... no penalty ... but no yellow either ... Moss would not have been the first ref to have avoided giving a yellow when it means a sending off ...

    Vardy initiated the contact by leaning into the defender. It then looks like as soon as he felt any contact he went into his swan dive. It looked an obvious dive at the time, and looks even more so every time I view it.

    If Vardy had learnt to dive more convincingly, he might have put a doubt in Moss's mind and got away with it.

    Why? Is this not a dive, then?

    And it was given. It's such an obvious dive.
    The ref of that game, Mark Halsey, had the gall to criticise Jon Moss for his performance on the weekend, too. Prick.

    Sure it's a dive , but it's a foul before the dive .Penalty called , the dive is a non event .

    Are you serious? You really think that should be a penalty?

    So roofer is basically saying because a tiny bit of contact was made in a contact sport it should be a penalty?

    Anywhere else on the pitch Young would stride through that challenge without falling over (well maybe not, as it's Young).

    But if you seriously think that is a foul then please shoot me now <ok>

    You do realise that contact does not equal a foul, don't you? That's leaving aside the fact that Young initiates the contact.

    I'll be surprised if anybody at all agrees with you on this one, to be honest. Let's see if I'm proved wrong.

    More than a little contact , stop his right foot in its tracks . Total penalty to me , was a dive to but once the penalty is given , the dive matters not

    i can't see the GIF but i'm guessing its the atrocious one with Young running into the defender.

    Could say the same with Vardy, once the dive is given and the red is given, the touch on the shoulder does not matter

    Er, no...you're right. Thank **** he's not a ref! There'd be 20 penalties in every game!...

    PNP what has happened with the Roofer is that he nailed his colours to the 'fairytale' mast. He will not accept anything else, regardless of what you prove. Or maybe he is an ex roofer because he fell off too many times and the resulting injuries have affected his thinking.

    Yeah, I'm with Sky on this one. You just can't be serious. Nice try, though. <ok>
