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
