...  Say what you like about Carson messing up and committing when he shouldn't have etc,* there's no hiding the fact that it was a shameless dive from KJ (after making a complete dog's dinner of his first touch). Have to say I couldn't really celebrate the penalty. It's not something I want to see Stoke players doing, especially as it makes TP look a right pillock for his comments on penalising simulation. *btw, just how shit is Scott Carson? I simply can't understand how he's got to the point of playing every week in the Prem? |

It was a stupid dive and he should have taken a shot when Carson abandoned ship....BUT, you couldn't celebrate us going 1-0 up?!
Edit - hahaha, entirely genuine typo, I think taking a shit would have been the wrong option when a shot was on...

I don't think it was a blatant dive, he jumped over Carson, but it was a soft penalty.

Sorry but after how we've been screwed we have to think of ourselves. We've tried being honest and it got us nowhere.
If you can't beat 'em...

I thought it was a clear cut penalty. Yes he threw his arms up and made it more dramatic but i still think Carson brought him down. Waited for him to commit to the dive and then poked it out the way and took the contact. I don't think there will be too many complaints from outsiders but we'll see.

Just trying things to see how far they get us? And here was me thinking it was about fair play and principle, regardless of the result. |

Come on PL, we've been dealt our fair share of duff decisions and we're not a team that throw ourselves about at the slightest touch. As a striker you see an opportunity with a keeper committed like that you take it. Carson did take his trailing leg - I've seen far far sofetr ones given than that. |

It's up to the ref to call it though. If he'd booked Kenwyne for that I wouldn't have had any complaints. As it was I was ashamedly delighted with the decision.

Also setup Walters' second goal. I think it's common knowledge that his first touch is similar to that of a rapist but I can't say he did much / owt wrong today. Enjoy it. |

Were you happy when Pennany dived against Villa? Cheer up FFS. That wasn't a dive. And I'm perfectly cheered  . Just think it's worth mentioning given how proud we normally are of TP and the team for not normally stooping to this kind of thing. |

At first I thought it was a dive as well. But now since I've seen in it from other angles I must say it's a 50-50 situation. You could say the gk prevents Kenwyne Jones to reach the ball with his elbow.
The second penalty situation is clearly a penalty! Push in the back and also stumbled on the defender's left foot.

If he could control a ball he would have had a simple finish. Looked like a dve to me, we're lucky to get it.
