FFS Saints - pigs ear defending

Sunderland 2 up

And we're off...

Yep, that's how I see it too

Yep, which reinforces my view that he wasn't looking for the penalty - he just went down through the momentum created by the near coming together. As Bexy said, he probably went down to avoid contact.

Agree. It wasn't a pre-meditated dive IMO

Table at half time...

Half time

Agreed, but his momentum was in a downward direction - he simply made no effort to stay on his feet. IMO of course.

Shaw doing a Bale (almost)!

It wasn't in the same league as a Suarez effort - he just went down very easily - no theatricals

Just seen an overhead replay of the penalty incident and it looked like Rodriquez went down because he was stretching for the ball

Its what they called downward momentum in my physics lessons...

Yes!!!!!!!

Penalty saints!!

FFS puncheon!

Saints in control now

We're looking so much better with Cork back in midfield

Well played Shaw!

Gaston got more in the way IMO. Fair enough decision by ref

Villa crowd starting to get frustrated

Waste!
