That’s right it’s dissent by action

Have you checked in with @hill83 that he's cool with it?

He didn’t really blast it though. More chipped it into the crowd to get the multi-ball

Palmer’s kick was dissent all day long. I can see why he disagreed.

still no need to do it, he can just tap it off the pitch
was funny how upset he was and how it rattled him after
Consistency is what is the argument here? One of theirs did it,no sanction?

Ref watch 11.30 on Sky Sports News, with Dermot Gallagher.
Surely they will be in a discussion regarding the penalty.

That just covers the Premier League whenever I’ve seen it. May talk about it though as it was on Sky.

That picture makes me wonder whether the follow through is necessary

It makes me wonder whether their player could have pulled out a lot quicker, having clearly been beaten to the ball by a good yard.

what else is he meant to do?
You can see DH starting to take evasive action I think.

Not put his leg about thigh height to clear the ball
We are going round in circles though

This is what gets me. That was always Thomas’ ball, he gets there miles before KDH. It’s not like your usual 50/50 where you have to be very mindful of contact.
Calista

Yes, but curiously he then continues, ensuring contact inside the area
It doesn't matter at all now of course, but it's still interesting from the point of view of the laws of the game.
In real time and in all the replays and stills I've seen, it's their player who arrives late. You obviously can't lunge through the ball when a player is in the firing line of that lunge, even if you do get the ball as well as the man. But here Thomas lunges at the ball well before the other player arrives, and IMO his leg position is entirely natural in clearing it. KDH gets there second and 'recklessly' charges it down, initiating the contact.

But that's where the ball was? When you kick through a ball and follow through it might be at knee height.
Let's just stop kicking footballs

Milan is definitely not guilty, as you can tell by his halo
Oh you don't have to convince me!
As I've said before you can see re Thomas's foot turning he doesn't get the studs but the side ,heel of the boot!

Well yeah he needs to lift his leg to kick it.
What if a defender had collided with ohare as he was in the middle of vollying it with his leg up?

What about from the linesmans' view?
Wait a minute - (a) he was crap and (b) they don't actually do anything these days, do they?

Does the etc include anything about goalkeepers, e.g. dropping to the floor unnecessarily?

The Assistant who is on the far side 40-50 yards away has a better view than the referee who is 10 yards away? Hmmmm.

It's the angle, the ref sees the incident from the back and, as mentioned somewhere previously, may not have seen Thomas get the ball first. I was pretty much in line with the play and could clearly see that Thomas had got the ball first, as could everyone around me and as should the linesman as well. So yes, the linesman had a better view of the incident.
The linesman on this side of the pitch was a waste of a match fee to be honest.

Everyone going around in circles regarding this. Does anyone think that Thomas knew exactly what he was doing by doing a crafty follow through on KDH? I think Thomas knew exactly what he was doing-took a gamble and unfortunately it caught up with him.
McFadz is the type of no nonsense player also that would have probably done the same-they are both cut from the same cloth.

If Thomas had the speed of thought to do that, he could equally have had the speed of thought to have not considered his action to be reckless.
No!

I've come to the opinion that penalty was probably the right decision, but no, don't think any part of it was intentional.
