But the main point is, paston had the ball in his arms when he then 'fell down'. How on earth is that denying a goal scoring opportunity? 

Also one eyed doesn't come into it,many other fans and even players from other clubs have come out and said they're discustard by how the whole thing has unfolded. Maybe we just don't have a pathological need to play devils advocate. 

I'm guessing from your second post that you're a troll,so I'm rather regretting replying. 



You miss the point, Tegal.  It's understandable that the referee would interpret the tug on the arm as a pull (which is a foul).  If the referee then took the view that there was an obvious goalscoring opportunity, then the laws say that's a red card.  It's conceivable a referee might have made that decision even before the dive.  All I'm saying is the ref may have been responding to the first offence (Sigmund's), regardless of the subsequent dive.

As for the comment about Troll, I find insults are usually a sign of a weak argument.  Play the ball, not the man.
