The "penalty" incident

Just seen it there. Won't claim he dived (benefit of the doubt) but clearly (and even clear from the ref directly behind) sviatchenko does not even make the challenge and draper leans in towards Erik. The ref can see that clear as day.

He's not, he took a bad touch and knocked the ball in front of Sviatchenko which is why he then tries to run across him which is why he sticks his leg out to the right and loses balance - he's actually falling before he even kicks Sviatchenko in the back of the leg



They have not even made contact yet and Draper is already going to fall.

Erik doesnt challenge him either, for me you cant foul someone if theyve fouled you first which Draper does. There is the point of contact

He gets himself between the two of them, Sviatchenko's momentum has taken him into the back of him.

 

Pat Nevin said it wasn't a foul, so it definitely wasn't :smiley-laughing002:

 

It doesnt though, Draper actually hits Erik from behind first



There, Draper has "kicked" or ran into the back of Eriks leg, Erik is running and his knee then comes into the back of Draper but Draper has already hit Erik first.

It was also Draper who stuck his leg into Sviatchenko. He made the movement towards him, hit him and they both go down.

The way you are saying is as if Erik has just ran into him from behind but Erik is actually the one who is hit from behind.

 

We'd be cracking up if we never got it. He probably looked for it though.

 

I'm still shocked a decision wasn't given to send off Erik.
To this minute I'm amazed

Oh I don't mean I think that I think it was a pen, but he didn't book the striker. So why not!

Totally. I've made my mind up on Erik. Another liability. I hope Jozo steadies the ship. We need Jozo and Toure to become the Great Wall Of Scotland. Pronto!

I'll say it again never a penalty - guy hung a leg looking for it. Even look at his reaction to see he knew he was winging it.
