It was a dive in real time, slo-mo and super slo mo. He 'engineers' this kind of thin in every game he plays and has been called out on it by pundits and players alike. Just because his dive happens to see him hit the defender on his way down does not make it anyhting less than a triple salco with twist.I think it falls outside a bookable dive, as he did get a push (which he was also clearly anticipating).
He stepped late into the defender's path to engineer it. I think the ref got it right.
High bar, also means high tackle, needs to be very high. Dermot will explain more clearly, I am sure.
Sent this to Sky Sports last night as a complaint about Ref Watch. Will watch and see if Dermot is made to squirm.
Since the introduction of VAR in the Premier League this season I have watched Dermot Gallagher escape from being challenged properly by the presenters who have allowed Dermot to justify poor refereeing decisions and subsequent failure by VAR to intervene.
I distinctly recall Dermot's defence of the decision by VAR to disallow Gabriel Jesus's goal for Man City v Spurs when it allegedly brushed Laporte's arm as he challenged for a header.
Dermot pointed to a graphic that sky sports had on screen stating " the following handball situations, even if accidental, will be a free kick...the ball goes into the goal after touching an attacking player's hand/arm."
Dermot's exact words were " I..I don't understand what the confusion is because that is quite clear (pointing to the Sky graphic), We saw it the week before, we explained it, I..I..I think it's quite clear, it might not be what we like but it's there, and it's there, it's there for the rest of the season at least because they will never change it mid season, I can't see that happening, but what I will say, it's consistent, because it's no longer a matter of opinion, it's no longer subjective, the referee each week will make the same decision."
Please remind Dermot of his own words on ref watch tomorrow and ask him why the Newcastle goal against Watford on Saturday was allowed to stand after an obvious handball, when he himself states the handball rule is clear, it's consistent, it's no longer subjective, it's no longer a matter of opinion and the referee each week will make the same decision.
So who are the ones that are confused Dermot, is it those subject to the laws or those applying the laws?

It’s more his comments afterwards essentially justifying it, saying he knew the defender was tired so stepped across him to force the challenge. I thought he had purposefully instigated the incident last week when the defender fell over and Kane fell over him, I gave him the benefit of the doubt on that occasion and said it could have gone either way because it was difficult to tell.My idea for straight reds for diving in the box would've seen Kane sent off.
Something sad about seeing the England captain blatantly cheating.
All I’ve heard so far is bullshitDermot Gallagher will be making his wishy washy excuses in about 2 minutes
And the creepy bastard looks like a serial killer.First time I’ve seen this Ref watch, what a lying twat he his.
The clubs should be challenging these c@nts, they are making it up as they go along
No freeze frame and zoom in till we find something in that game100% confirmation of CORRUPTION!!!
VAR didn’t notice the handball in the Newcastle game, get fucked you lying, cheating, corrupt set of cúnts.

They are exactly saying that. VAR maybe didn’t have the same view!! WTFIs that what they are saying ?
I haven't even seen the incident, but without looking I'm pretty sure it wasn't harder to spot than Laporte's, as I've never fucking seen a handball harder to spot than Laporte's.
That's really worrying if they are claiming that. It means they are trying harder to disallow our goals.

They need called out
