        The trailing leg thing must be a bloody nightmare for refs. (NCFC) - Huge Small, Jan 3, 14:27:32
        
        Easy to spot in the comfort of the MOTD studio. Hard for refs in the thick of it. (n/m) (NCFC) - Pit, Jan 3, 14:28:21

        We very rarely get any decisions. Same with most of bottom half of prem. (NCFC) - Pit, Jan 3, 14:53:15
        
        Hard to spot some dives though (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 3, 14:25:14
        
        It's not the referees' fault - it is for the game's administration to sort this out (NCFC) - norway, Jan 3, 14:29:13
        
        Nice. (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, Jan 3, 14:37:09

        Hopefully it would be a springboard for action. (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, Jan 3, 14:39:53
        
        The ripples of this would be felt far and wide (n/m) (NCFC) - Pixelman, Jan 3, 14:40:42
        
        I expect it there would be a daley debate about it. (n/m) (NCFC) - Pit, Jan 3, 14:41:53
