Quote: tigertot "It was great advantage played by Child, but it was still an offence that went unpunished. I wouldn't be suprised if Lulia has to explain that one to Red Hall. I'm not sure if it particularly matters if the PTB is a metre away, as long as there is no obvious advantage. I've just remembered I forgot to mention Whitehead's obvious flop going unpunished.'"
How can a referee punish the offence after giving advantage? It was a grab at the head that should have been penalised if he had dropped the ball or been held up short. As for Whithead the ball carrying arm hadn't hit the ground when Whitehead began his dive.
