exactly right

I thought it as a dive - but a v v good one - and I might well have given it had I been the ref

having said that - if you keep diving, you can't really complain if the ref makes a mistake when you're actually tripped - it's the boy who cried wolf

        I think the diving was a deliberate tactic (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 18, 08:51:11
        
        I meant prat, but maybe part is also apt (n/m) (NCFC) - jAC, Jan 18, 08:48:29
        
        He's a part all right. (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, Jan 18, 09:57:40
        
        Sheared was rubbing his hands at glee at the chance to be a part on national tv (NCFC) - jAC, Jan 18, 08:47:56
      - He didn't "go down" after the contact though (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 18, 08:38:26
        
        I agree watched it again and I am sure he is going down and dragging his leg to make the (NCFC) - Basingstoke_Canary, Jan 18, 12:06:44
        
        vmt. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Jan 18, 10:40:04
