Made me laugh on their forum,they are all claiming Buckley dived and most thought theirs was a pen.

Ive watched it and i saw it in real time , from pretty much the same spot as the footage . I still say its a penalty , alough the contact was minimal . I did notice your players didnt go mad at wilf but seemed more annoyed with buckley ! who looked sheepish ! make of that what you want .
Our players probably didn't react as last time we did,against Southampton, we got a red card and fined by the FA for failing to control our players.
He looked "sheepish" because he gave away cheap possession just before the incident when he had a chance to clear the danger,that's why our player's were annoyed.

If your defenders know a player has dived to get about a penalty what is their first reaction ?they have a go at the player ! No brighton player did this . Also on the subject of cheating did you see your goalie rush to the touchline to try to get wilf booked or sent off ? Didnt work did it , he got booked .
If I remember rightly it was total bemusement as they couldn't believe the ref had fallen for that cheating cvnts tricks.
In Our penalty - Page 5 someone posted a video of that incident from their phone, someone asked for a slow version, so I made that video.

You're quite adamant about zaha and how he's innocent. Dirty underhanded little knobjockey

Good vid. Shows what a cynical but well timed dive it was at it did look like there was contact at real speed. I can see why the ref fell for it.
I wouldn't. I remember, even as a kid, watching John Robinson do his best to stay on his feet when he ran down the wing and defenders kept trying to take him out. I was disappointed when I saw him going down easily for Charlton.
Going down under minimal contact is cheating. No matter how many players do it. It is deceitful and disrespectful. All the while players are cheating and fans are fine with it, they have no right to criticise the refs, imo. If you're willing to support players as they throw themselves to the ground, you cannot expect referees to always get it right for fouls.
Fans also cannot complain that the powers that be are trying to make it a non-contact sport, when that is simply a result of almost any contact resulting in players throwing themselves down claiming something for it.

They both weren't penalties IMO. Atwell lost control of the game and was conned by both Buckley and Zaha.
I think most sensible people think this. Only the most biased think one was nailed on and one a blatant dive (on both sides).

Can't disagree with you on this Nige.
Atwell felt compelled to even things up with our penalty especially when 2,700 of us were telling him what a useless waste of skin he was!
