If you do find any footage, could you please share it?

I made a short clip of the foul leading to the Jets goal:

Sadly, the quality is Youtoobish.

Having watched it many times now, I think there probably was contact and that the Jets player took the opportunity to drop.

How the hell did that happen?

Griffiths definitely milked it !
It didn't look like there was any contact - we were in row 30 and couldn't see any contact.
 
It makes life hard for refs when players do this - hopefully O'Leary learns from this nonsense and goes on to be our best ref ever.
 
I would like to see him travel to Aus to ref on a regular basis - having 2 teams of divers [as most aussies are] will help him to distinguish an original foul from a dive.

I believe Pete was ranked number 2 overall in the initial season (out of 8 on the panel I think) but they don't use Kiwi boys on the finals series
He's been the the World under 20s, UEFA under 20s and I reckon hes in for the Olympics as well...

Hard to tell but looks like Johnson kicked him and the Newcastle player has milked it a bit. The quality is hard to tell, but Pete has a good angle on it and proximity too.

There might be something to that. I thought he was pretty average. There were some poor calls for both teams

Watched the clip - PETE got it wrong , like the yellow card which would be the best proffessional foul I've seen for a while, where the defender has got away with with a soft yellow card.  But the ref did tell him off for being a naughty boy, and don't do it again -  too soft Pete
