Nix v RADelaide Saturday 27th October, 7:30pm SS2 from Hindmarsh

 Yeah, that's a fair summary, Tegal.  Jeronimo certainly deserved a yellow for unsporting behaviour.  I don't see anything in the Laws of the Game that would prevent that sanction, even if it were unequivocal that a player was fouled.  It was an obvious dive (possibly sporting more controversy here ......) unlike Torres', which I can't fully decide on.  Having played the game, I can understand justifiably going down with that sort of contact.  Referees need to be very, very sure if they're going to book players for simulation.  If Gillet had played the game of football, he would have seen that the way Jeronimo fell was inconsistent with an arm pull or shirt pull

At last somebody who talks some sense

Love the responses ignoring the points set out in that article in the comments below it.

Boxall in for Siggy on Monday then.

I don't reckon we lose that much, if anything at all given his two appearances so far

Yup. Also loving all this "he was the last man" stuff. Nowhere in the Laws Of The Game is that phrase used. As for the "he grabbed his shirt"? I must have watched the wrong game, I didn't see any shirt tugging going on.

Anyway. Flights are booked for the 24th of February  :-)

Bring your Harold Bishop effigy.

...We slip and slide like Jeronimo

And I just can't seem to get enough of

Du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du

Du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du

Du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du

Du-Durante!

We don't dive! Not even Tim Brown!

you mean fell down brown?

Sorry Junior. If the FFA say it wasn't a dive then I have to 100% agree with them. After all they know the game better than any fans do!

 Hahahahaha. Ha. Ha. Gillet 'rotated out' of this week's round.

Good explanation by Ben Wilson regarding Sigmund's 'foul' but it would have been good to hear his thoughts on Jeronimo's dive and whether there was any scope for the referee to treat that as an offence separate from the foul.

In my opinion the "foul" and the dive were part of the same incident so therefore should have been treated as such.

After all, Gillett did not, and probably would not have blown his whistle for a "foul" had Jeronimo stayed on his feet.

If it's good enough for Jeronimooooooooooooooo

and to think Oct 27th was my f*cken birthday

Hmm

Guess what Siggy has planned to do with his time while he serves his suspension. He's going diving. Oh, the irony"
