If true it is a sad indictment on where the PL is in relation to trying to stay in it. A video ref may well of helped here as the ref was clearly unsighted, which is also part of the trick. The correct decision would then for King to be red carded automatically. This would stamp out this type of play pretty quickly. Like CCTV it would prevent a lot of potential crimes.

Come off it, you weren't just referring to the irony of the situation in your previous post - you were clearly implying that people who had pointed out that Zaha had never got a penalty for being fouled in the penalty area were simple wrong. They weren't wrong. As another poster asked, can you remember him ever being barged or tripped or wrestled to the ground and a penalty being awarded?

By the way, I'm not sure what "Siren voices" (who I believe were beautiful women luring sailors onto the rocks) have got to do with all this. Explanation?

He should be grateful for the gift wrapped point and shut up.

People can say they weren’t penalties but can they say Wilf dived? When a player goes down in the box it doesn’t necessarily mean he dived if no penalty is given! For Wilf to get banned all 3 on the panel will need to say he dived which I can’t see!

Both the penalties while maybe "soft" we're genuine penalties.
On both occasions Wilf didn't just throw himself to the floor he was fouled,and a referee will rarely give a penalty unless a player hits the ground.
It was very disappointing to hear Eddie Howe mischievously try to get Wilf in trouble.It was unecessary there was no blatant cheating involved,unlike there was for Bournemouth's first goal.
Mr Howe who I saw as a respected and decent man is sounding like a poor man's Jose Mourinho.

Regardless of your supposedly knowledge, or your 'in' with referees, the officials had a shocker yesterday. The lino in front of the main stand was out of his depth and Kevin Friend lost it early in the game. He is the new Clattenburg.
