Swanland.
Myhill deserved to be booked for being an idiot!
If he hadn't gone flying off his line for a ball he had less than a 50/50 chance of getting the ref wouldn't have been able to give a penalty.
Fuller did what every decent striker should do in those circumstances. Make sure you get to the ball first! (Steino against the Vale anyone?).
Annoyed if we had conceded it? Yes. Was contact made? Yes. Soft decision? Yes. Penalty? Yes.
I must admit to liking Fuller's attitude when Nige asked him if he was worried when Myhill got a hand to it. If it crosses the line that is all that matters.

He played smart. He knew it was a possibility to played for contact. Like owen against Argentina in 2002. He waited for contact and went down.
Less smart to admit it in an interview but still...

After the ref blew the whistle for it Myhill and the Hull defenders simply got up and walked back to their positions accepting that it was a blatant penalty, it is only Phil Orange trying to make it look like they have been hard done by.
