Fair enough, didn't appreciate the subtlety in the rule. I think if we were on the end of that decision we would be pretty annoyed. Newcastle suggesting they will appeal, but I can't see how if the ref saw it as a push.
Thanks for clearing up.
I know this probably is going to go down like a lead balloon, but did the ref get one of the Newcastle reds wrong on Friday?
Dummett gave away a penalty and got set off. I thought the triple jeporday rule had gone. I understand why Shelvey went for violent conduct, but Dummett was just a foul.
