Yalcouye and Franco

Are there any other close up angles of the penalty/sending off incident. I have been looking at the replay and that Cook set him up a beauty. Was it a penalty? Should Cook have been cautioned?

I thought it was a dive by Yalcouye and then a petulant reaction that gave the ref an easy decision to make.

Not his finest few minutes.

The highlights show the sending off incident but don't have a replay of the penalty claim just prior.

And Cook was booked for it

Cook was booked for shoving Yalcouye

It was all the same incident, he wouldn't get a yellow for the shove and then another yellow for going head to head

Spot on brother. Unprofessional all round (and yes, Cook is a cheating disgusting scumbag and yes he may not have made much or any contact, but everyone knows the risk you take with that pointless nonsense.)

Quite. The irony of making such a fuss of Yalcouye’s dive and then diving like Jacques Cousteau.

Funny thing I said on Twitter earlier that it reminded me of that time Warwick Davis filled Mike Tyson in.

I have no doubt that Yalcoure's leg was slightly clipped as he was going through. If he'd stumbled and fallen naturally, he might have got a penalty, or he might have kept going and got his shot away. Unfortunatley, he decided to 'help' the ref by diving in an exaggerated manner to emphasize the foul.
When I was training to be a ref at county level, we used to get FA demonstration videos in our evening meetings. I remember one about how to tell if fouls were genuine or not, and one obvious 'tell' in the video was the exaggerated dive.
That's what Yalcoure did.
