[North Stand Midget]

Was in north stand and saw Dunk on the ground, Does anyone know what happened??

Jake Robinson reckons it was a slight tap on back or dig in ribs. Fair play Dunk just walked off, so was all Lino. Poyet said after seeing the replay he wasn't convinced there was anything

 

[Sheebo]

Not a clue. Lino didn't give the initial foul (Beckford caught him late) - suddenly he's waving flag - i thought Dunk had said something and was going! Leic fan said he kicked out but was soft.

 

[DanielT]

club text said foul and abusive language, bbc reporting he'd said something to dunk.

 

[Albumen]

Right in front of me. Dunk went down which I thought was a dive, Beckford shouted at the linesman , then hovered over Dunk shouting at him and gave him a hard nudge in the ribs. Dunk didn't react but the linesman had a think and flagged.

Dumb and harsh. But hey!

 

[R. Slicker]

Dunk went down looking for a free kick, Lino gave nothing. Dunk stayed down and Beckford gave him a dig, right in front of the Lino who immediately flagged it.
Nothing really, but Vincelot went for less against Burnley.

Damn, too late. see above.

 

[gripper stebson]

He walked back past Dunk who was on all fours and dug him in the ribs... a little bit. Seemed very harsh. Funny though!

 

[rjbseagull]

Foul and abusive language I was told.

 

[North Stand Midget]

And what was wrong with Sparrow? 50/50 challenge

 

[Butch Willykins]

Was right in front of me. Looked very harsh. Seemed to be for the "afters" rather than the initial foul. Hardly touched him IMO. But I'm not complaining!

As soon as Beckford went off we said one of ours would go by the end of the game - my money was on GG. It's what Refs seem to do these days . . .

 

[One4the.road]

Right in front of me all he done was patted dunk on the head

Agree with this. Ref tried to even out game - on another day would have got nothing or a yellow at worse.

 

[Mr deez]

Definitely wasn't a hard dig in the ribs, more a 'get up' tap. If it was for that it's a shocking blunder, but has been suggested elsewhere that the lino thought his boot had caught dunk in the face. Language would make more sense, but I still don't quite get it.

That being said, we played much worse in the second half after that.

looked more like a pinch or dig on Dunk's back - but it could have been for F&A language that of course we couldn't see or hear

 

[Originunknown]

I was very close, I thought Lino flagged after beckford dragged his boot by dunks head, did look intentional like he meant to catch dunk as he walked off. Didn't look to touch him much though

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Official club text said Foul & Abusive language.

 

[stss30]

What happened was- 1) Beckford pats Dunk on head
2) Beckford steps over Dunk
3) Lino thinks Beckford has stepped on Dunk intentionally and tells ref to send him off

(Dunk didn't react in any way)

 

[Brownstuff]

My take on it from front row west stand upper pretty much in line
Beckford tackled Dunk in front of lino
Referee thought fair challenge and also lino thought ok too as didn't give anything
Dunk went down and Beckford thought Dunk made a meal of it by remaining of the ground in pain
Beckford then went back to Dunk and after leaving him patted him on top of head or perhaps rapped his knuckles hard on Dunk's head
Lino then flagged and ref asked lino twice whether he was certain of incident and lino confirmed
My eyesight ain't the best though but thought this was what happened

I read that on the BBC site. Wonder what the lino heard?
