    Not really, Leigh Griffiths was booked for diving against St Johnstone for doing the exact same thing, throwing his leg into the defender and there wasn't many talking about an honest mistake.

    Not comparable, that was a dive, maybe the Inverness player was playing for the foul but it wasn't a dive.

    He did the exact same thing, put his leg in looking for contact and fell down immediately, whether any contact was made is irrelevant as the ICT player instigated it, he threw his leg into Svaitchenko, not the other way around. He made up his mind to put his leg in and fall over rather than shoot, he got what he deserved.

    He drew the foul, no doubt but that doesn't mean your allowed to go through the back of him.

    I actually think he was shaping to shoot so that is why his leg came across.

    Don't think he was trying to encourage contact. If that as at rhe other end would any of you honestly not be screaming for it ?

    He wasn't shaping to shoot, he threw his leg into the path of Sviatchenko, it looked clear to me what he was doing.

    Whether we would scream for it or not doesn't mean it was actually a penalty. :smiley-laughing002:

    Fair enough.

    Don't see how it isn't a foul though. I saw it differently.

    I don't think it was a dive, but the player stuck his leg out to the right and that's what made him go down, not a challenge from Erik.

    Correct decision.

    Clear foul, actually out of box. Red card all day long.

    If it wasn't then Meekings handball in SF, was ball to hand then.

    Irrelevant the he stuck his leg out or that he was looking for the penalty. He put himself in front of the ball and Eric made contact with him from behind in the penalty box. If we get denied that same penalty I would be livid.

    It wasn't even in the box for a start.

    Again this is irrelevant, drawing the foul is the smart thing to do.

    OK even if that is the case, its still a foul.

    If fans of another team were having this debate I would laugh at how delusional they were being.

    He's through on goal, lining up a shot, Sviatchenko desperately trying to get back, no matter how the contact is made there is contact and it is more than enough to send him over.

    I'm amazed it wasn't given, free kick or penalty. Whatever.
