Not sure. Madders does go down very easily.

No point asking how you would feel about a decision in which you're not neutral though. Obviously I'd have wanted it if it was us.
But if that had happened in a game in which I was neutral I'd have been OK with the ref not giving it.
I can see an argument for it being a penalty but I'm not certain and I'm of the opinion that if you are not absolutely certain you should not give it (after all, the odds are you're actually giving a goal)
