Good man, Gordy. That's exactly what he is, and now the FArce have given him carte blanche I expect he'll be going down at the earliest opportunity v The Arse, and woe betide any ref who thinks of getting out a card. Look out, Lee Probert, yer might have competition in that League you've been sent to!
I think we come to the PL games, week in and week out, thinking that the quality of football will tell in the end. Yesterday and the confirmation by the FArce today puts a completely different perspective on it! How many seasons ago was it, ironically, that Sergio was wiped out inside the Southampton penalty area only for Corporal Jones to rip off his pocket and yellow card him for diving! That decision and this weekend's puts the lie to those who believe it's just down to the football!
Apparently, the FArce decided that there was contact in the case of El Pharaoh going down so that's that! But it seems the rules have been changed since Niasse and Lanzini got two matches. I've seen clips of all three and there's contact in all three! The FArce are clearly making up the rules as they go along and changing them to fit individual personnel.
