I am only going to comment on the Ben Sigmund incident and not the interesting offside calls.
The dive is not the real problem.
Problem 1. The player was not denied an obvious goal scoring opportunity. The keeper was closer to the ball than the attacker. The attacker had kicked the ball so far ahead that he had no likelyhood of getting it back before our keeper scopped it up. This is evident in the footage.
Problem 2 The Assistance Referee was abysmal. He had a better view of the incident and should have called the referee over and said what he saw. He saw the tug, he saw the attacker lift his legs as though he had been kicked when he had not and he saw that the attacker has no chance of scoring. Abysmal in that he left his partner out to dry.
Problem 3 Our failure to recognise FFA's constant view that it is their competition, their rules, their judge, jury and executioner and the obvious lack of justice shown by them against a non Australian team. We should realise that this has happened to every team playing in all of the codes run by and from Australia.
Problem 4 We expected FFA do to do anything other than what they did. Our hearts said they should, but our brains should have told us that they would do just what they did - nothing - see problem 3.
Problem 5 FFA has now made diving legal.
Well, I suggest we now learn some appropriate Spanish words to greet Jeronimo when he appears at the Ring of Fire. But we need to make it known to FFA that Jeronimo is not the only one showing poor judgement.
