Having now seen it on TV, I hope Clarke is suitably embarrassed.

Still a red card though, can't raise your hands like that and get away with it

Agree Rex. We would moan if an opposition player did that.

Not disagreeing just saying its a red card all day long. If Danns hadn't raised his hand then Clarke wouldn't have fallen to the floor

Agree Rex. We would moan if an opposition player did that. I think we would also moan at our player for raising his hand and giving the oppo player the chance to make the most of it. From a Bury pov they are clearly struggling right now and that's not what they want from one of their players particularly an experienced player who should know better

It appears JClarke elbows him in back of head just before that incident!

It's a problem in the game, just look at that nonsense at Emirates yesterday, a team who have spent a decade hacking opposition players off of the pitch and who still employ that animal Shawcross, have a player touched in the penalty area and over he goes as if hit by a New Orleans rioter's baseball bat. I was worried, he was motionless on the ground clutching his face, what could it be, fractured cheek bone, could the poor man even lose an eye? But no, 2 minutes later, having secured a penalty for his team he's made a miracle recovery. Problem is, everybody does it, so if you don't you put yourself at a disadvantage. A few years back someone took a cheap shot at Pipe, he just grinned and squared up to the bloke, the other bloke got away with it, Pipe got booked. And that just about sums it all up. It starts with poor referees who have no idea what's happening in front of them and is compounded by a lack of respect between players.

A Huddersfield player took the biscuit yesterday with his Drogba agony roll and sly peak at the ref through his fingers. The express train sliding tackle actually missed his shin but you'd have thought it had been torn off the way he reacted. Then he had the cheek to miraculously jump to his feet and blast the ref for not giving a red and got a yellow for his troubles.

In the old (ron harris, per the above) days it would have been viewed as a 'continental' reaction, I think. Shows how integrated we have become?

Jason Mohammad said on a BBC football show, about a different incident, recently, "...he's got to be injured, the trainer's come on..." Part of the job of these pundits is to stir up interest, but anyone who watches football would know that this is either supreme naievety or a feeble attempt to stoke up the debate.

Pathetic from Clarke and the rules that allow something like that just shows the law is an ass.

Easily solved follow rugby's lead if there is an alleged head injury force them to go off for a Head injury assessment. Managers won't stand for putting on a replacement player for 10 minutes whilst a doctor checks a players make up. Will stop the feigning very quickly

I propose a new law whereby Tuilagi gets a free shot at anyone pretending to have been punched.

Will stop the feigning very quickly If I were the ref in a contact sport and a grown man went down and was motionless or rolling around holding his head I would be so worried that he was seriously injured I wouldn't allow him to continue. Problem solved.
