Will people please stop saying Dimi shouldn't have made the challenge... he didn't!

He was tracking back to the side of him to try to get around him and nick the ball. Wanker-Peters then launches himself across in to Dimi and throws himself to the floor completely independent of any Dimi action. It's a bulls**t decision.

  - Yebbut the attacker initiated the contact by launching himself down and across in to Dimi (NCFC) - JD3, Aug 13, 11:00:30
  - Very simplistic (NCFC) - jamesward, Aug 13, 10:57:08
    - And is already throwing himself to the floor as he moves across before any contact (n/m) (NCFC) - JD3, Aug 13, 11:05:59
      - Yep (n/m) (NCFC) - ChampsChamps2023, Aug 13, 11:11:14

        We’ve sure had our own cheats (NCFC) - SCC 28, Aug 13, 12:43:23
        
        It’s the attacking player manufacturing the contact, that’s the issue (NCFC) - Under soil heating, Aug 13, 11:47:17
        
        Of course he is. But it happens. (n/m) (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Aug 13, 12:20:59
        
        Couldn't the Southampton player argue that he wasn't initiating the contact (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Aug 13, 12:02:11
        
        He shoulder/body barged dimi, then fell over....🤦‍♂️ (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 13, 11:30:53
        
        W-P was clearly stationary, Dimi was clearly moving (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Aug 13, 11:43:30
        
        If you're interested, I've got this really lovely bridge I'd like to sell you (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 13, 11:45:30
        
        Your bridge scenario (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Aug 13, 12:06:01
        
        Gullibility, yes (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 13, 12:12:23
        
        He didn’t move for ages until the penalty was guaranteed (NCFC) - ChampsChamps2023, Aug 13, 12:31:13
- Exactly. Dimi did nothing wrong. How was he to know some twat would dive in front of him? (NCFC) - ChampsChamps2023, Aug 13, 10:23:05
- I’d be hopeful VAR would tell him to cancel it (NCFC) - SCC 28, Aug 13, 10:08:25
  - I wouldn't be too hopeful (NCFC) - jamesward, Aug 13, 10:15:04
    - True, just think they’ve started cancelling a bit more (NCFC) - SCC 28, Aug 13, 10:34:44
- I always look at the reaction of players… Everyone Norwich player could NOT believe he’d (NCFC) - BigGrantHolt, Aug 13, 09:59:35
- Agreed (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Aug 13, 09:39:44
