He didn’t con the ref cos the ref don’t fall for it if it was a dive so nothing to do retrospectively .

Could he have been booked for simulation?

No because the charge is Deception of a Match Official.

Edit: do you mean in the game? Yeah he could have hit the ref didn’t think so.

It wasn't.

Grimes went to put his foot in, he dived expecting contact, Grimes moved his leg back.

I think the ball went out for our throw in the build up anyway. Looked well out.

As the officials have become so fastidious about goal line technology means that over the line isn’t always over the line for the whole of the ball, and how the ball only needs to be cutting the plane of the marked lines when taking a corner - they are expected to flag everytime the ball touches the line for a throw in.

They came from a goal down to beat the league leaders, a team who put 7 past them in the reverse fixture. If you can't celebrate that why bother

Grimes pulled his leg back, Smyth tried to con the ref.

Expected it to be given and they normally are, fair play to the ref.

The ref whinging has gotten so bad that we’re now whinging about decisions that weren’t even given against us?

Yeah, that's the still. He throws himself into grimes rather than the other way round.

Grimes' face is like that as the QPR player has kneed him the bollocks when he jumped into him.

That’s how I saw it - grimes stopped himself from dangling the leg and he fell into him.
I think his reaction is more the fact refs would normally give nonsense ones like that.

Yeah cause a still with no context is a brilliant way to decide if a penalty is given.

Never a penalty he was looking for it and should been booked for diving.

We'd have been annoyed if it was the other way around.

No chance. We have had much worse not given.

Grimes did the same thing the other week and pretty sure nobody actually thought it was a pen.

No. He went to but pulled his leg away.

I've not seen it since the day but I think he steps across and blocks him off, he tries to get out the way but up ends him.

Not seen the game back as fuck seeing any of that again.
