That is an amazing comment, and not in a good way. Dunk slid into DCL's "space" to block a shot, without touching DCL, and that is apparently worthy of a penalty. Totally astonishing assessment. I have no idea who she is but, surely, the nonsense of her argument has now dawned on her?
Yes, he said the tackle was out of control but he did not say that Dunk caught DCL and that it was a penalty. He was trying to justify his position without appearing to be even more biassed by claiming Dunk committed a foul.
No, as his foot slid forward on top of Dunk's foot his body would naturally fall backwards. As that started to happen he decided to theatrically fling himself to the ground.
He actually said "incredibly high bar" in his pathetic post-match interview, which is obviously a figment of his warped imagination. I also noted that he never at any point, to my recollection, actually said it was a penalty.
