The Celtic player ran into the box, yes he was pulled, then the Celtic player went on then magically does an Oscar winning winning dive and gets the penalty - whats fair about that. I believe that players know how to con the referee. To me it should be a red card offence for diving. And l dont care if Warsaw failed - l believe in fairness in football. I gave up being a referee, as so many players were doing the 'dive'act. And it wasnt backed up by the leagues l played in. If a Spurs player dives - then he should be red carded - simples. It should happen everywhere, and the club should fine the player for doing it. In Scottish football, l see it lots of times. But some referee's dont have the bottle to send players off. Its just as bad in the EPL.
If that wasn't really a penalty and he did dive then surely the St J player and team would have argued the fact?

He and they knew it was right, yes he did go down a bit dramatically but that doesn't take away from the fact that he was tackled harshly in the box.

Fairness in football?? Legia brok the ruels and were punished. Thats yer fairness in football right there.
