Come on, dive in: Ngog draws Carsley into the
challenge.......
....and the Liverpool striker times his tumble to
perfection.....
.....the arms go up to add a bit of drama.....
....before the big finish of sprawling flat out....
What an absolute disgrace David Ngog was in committing
one of the most blatant dives I have ever seen.
Referee Peter Walton should have a serious look at himself as he
really MUST detect such obvious simulation and punish it.
Watching the game on television I immediately called it as a
dive - not being clever, just that it was so obvious.
If UEFA's experiment to introduce six referees proves successful
then the additional assistant referee would have been perfectly
placed to yell into his microphone and tell Walton, 'It's a
dive!'
Mind you, Walton should be experienced enough to detect it
without external help. Ngog should be ashamed of himself.
The question is - when will football introduce retrospective
action to punish such actions?
