Thirsty Lizard 3,158 Posted February 13, 2019 That naughty scamp Dwight Gayle has been charged with the above apparently. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47230560 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,737 Posted February 13, 2019 What a pointless exercise as West Brom will not be docked the point his antics gave them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thirsty Lizard 3,158 Posted February 13, 2019 Know what you mean Til, but if he does get a ban there is at least some sanction for his antics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbycanary3 994 Posted February 13, 2019 I watched the game and saw the incident 'live' and immediately said he's dived. I also said (not long after that) Forest should be awarded a penalty for the shirt pull in the box. If I can see it slobbing on my couch, how on earth Lee Mason did not, defies belief. Both times his view was unhindered. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nuff Said 5,117 Posted February 13, 2019 I’ve not seen that before. It almost looked like he put his arms out in front of him like a diver into water! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mind the gap 12 Posted February 13, 2019 I think last night's commentator also added that Rodrigeus has converted six this season, and Gayle has "won" five of them. Hopefully he'll get a ban and won't try it again for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Making Plans 936 Posted February 13, 2019 He is obviously more convincing than Stiepermann and has the sense to do it where it counts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rufus 56 Posted February 13, 2019 The player, club and ref should be punished, rhe player needs to be banned, the club docked at least a point as the decision changed the resu,t and the ref, lino's should be dealt with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThorpeCanary 71 Posted February 13, 2019 Surely a two match ban. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcorkcanary 4,334 Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) I'm sure it won't happen but they really should have the point that they got through this dive removed. If, of course ,Gayle is found guilty of successful deception. Edited February 13, 2019 by wcorkcanary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what the likely sanctions are or what the rulebook says but, from previous FA performance, my money is on.... e) NONE OF THE ABOVE 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crafty Canary 495 Posted February 14, 2019 If West Brom are docked a point then Forest should be awarded the 2 points they lost. The GD of both sides should also be adjusted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
