Aint watched It again, but the injury was caused after he'd lost the ball.

It is very rare someone who drops the ball & gets flattened gets a penalty. It's RL karma. Like a number on here, watch the highlights & then admit you were mistaken.

I couldn't see a problem with what Diskin said. He expressed an opinion on the last minute penalty but did not personally attack the ref. His views on officials having too much impact were expressed in general terms and the main point he made was that players wanted refs to let the game flow more. Thought he spoke well and considering the situation his comments were well judged and well made.

thats just complete nonsense. He was all het up about the decision and his comments were about that. He even went on to justify his comments by saying that Lynch had a right to turn and run in the direction of the ball, so he was clearly talking about that incident. Diskin was wrong about the incident, and wrong to say what he did. As fans we can say it and the ref was pretty poor with a multitude of errors going in the favour of both sides.

ok but I did also say I didn't think Gaskell was punched.

In terms of timing I don't have a problem with Wilkins hit as Ive seen a lot later not given. What I'd like to see again is where and how he struck Herbert

Led with the forearms right into Herbert's mush. Late, high should have got 10.

If that happened he'll get a ban and rightly so.

only it didnt.

Wilkin hit him about a nano-second after he had kicked the ball and was commited. The hit itself was also legal.
