Ref behind it? Maybe thought there was contact from his angle? Brutal though

Thing is, the player knew what it was. Whilst I accept that a last minute 'penalty' like that for us against Hearts which would give us a win in a cup final would be tempting...part of me, a big part of me thinks that the player who accepted that as a penalty needs to take a good long look at himself. I'd like a lot more fairness in the game.

I'd be more interested in working out why diving would cross anyone's mind there, if they were about to put their foot through the ball from 8 yards. If I was going to fall over it would be because I'd be halved, not because I was clean through yet still fancied a penalty instead of scoring.

Footballers must be a hell of a lot cleverer than they're given credit for if they can think about finishing, yet still take in their surroundings, decide to fake contact and fall flat on their face in a split-second.
