Why was Knight applauded off like a hero?

[Jameson]

He cost us any chance of the game, but still gets a hero's reception as he walks to the tunnel, why is that?

First foul, ok he could well have been unlucky, but theres no-one on here who can say it was a DEFINITE penalty because we werent that close, also its a shame to say, but he's made the reputation for himself with all his diving, so refs are gonna be watching the whole time.

Then he catches the bloke late, a needless thing to do, born out of frustration that in any other team in this division he would get something called service from his midfield.

BUT he doesnt deserve to get a huge round of applause for that!

'Cos he is a hero, for Christ's sake! Top scorer in the league (still?) right up there with Ward, Zamora at a similar stage. What would you have us do - boo?
