Looking when Umerah sent off the ref. jumped over the Gateshead player Tinker who was rolling about on the ground, what would have happened if the player started to stand up.
Last night a Pools player was booked for time wasting at a throw in, Pools were winning 3-0, he was just doing the usual looking for some one to throw it too ?

Shame Tinkler didn't sit up at that moment - he would have then had a genuine reason to roll around as though he'd been picked out by a sniper

the referee had made his decision anyway before tinkler got into RADA mode. if he had got straight back up he would not have got all the deserved shit he got from the crowd. another thing where the game has gone down the pan. once players kicked the shit out of each other but never tried to get an opponent sent off by play acting. in fact some asked refs not to send opponents off after they had done them.

Yep, I suspect it is the influence of foreign players. They have been doing this and getting away with it for years so it is understandable the virus has spread to home grown "talent".

we invented the game but for the past 70 years have copied every single thing from abroad. not all of it by any means has shown an improvement in it especially for fans.

I despair sometimes when players, even under the eagle eye of the camera, take these ridiculous dives and trailing leg moves, yet the ‘pundits’ still take the side of the ‘stars’……wonder if these players go to stunt school to perfect their dubious talents.

is their an end of season award for the most roal overs a player can do once they get fouled. When i got hurt i just dropped down on the spot where it happened.
