. and just the right height

. both he and bigPat (designated interpreter) were very patient and accomodating ... don't know how they feel about the whole 'meet the fans thing' but they were perfect gentlemen

after watching newcastle vs brisbane yesterday both micheal bridges and sash petrovski should be suspended for simulation, both went down without being touched, both very obvious...... lets see if the MRP are consistent!!

We wont ever see justice done again, now that this precedent has been set, refs are going to be EXTREMELY apprehensive to give penalties, they would rather not give a penalty and be criticised briefly after the game, then give a penalty, have the MRP review it and suspend the player for 2 matches which looks very bad on them, especially with the knowledge in the back of their minds that something as trivial as Perez' touch in the box is the benchmark....

MRP will only be called upon when it does lead to a penalty, so instances of people diving that go un-rewarded will not be reviewed and therefore, what happened to Perez is basically never going to happen to any other player, FFA aimed to set a stance against simulation, but all they have done is influence fluent refereeing.

Don't suppose there's much point in hitting them - any lesson to be learned will be lost in the fallout from the Jets going down.

I dont think he is on 'our side' at all but rather against the FFA.

Also, Foster is a Director of the Council on Australia Latin America Relations, a division of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, so him defending Perez wouldnt come as a suprise

He certianly didn't defend Perez on TWG. He stated that in his opinion it was a certian dive and the correct punishment was handed out. He thought the Baird dive was more in question than Perez's stating that their was definite contact on Baird but not Perez.

from last night i can only conclude
perez likes falling over!
i hope he steps further away from that line

I think Perez learnt his lesson and will not go to ground quite so easily anymore. There was contact when he went down in both games, but I think those little bursts of speed he puts on can make it hard to see the touch. And it doesn't help that when he does go dowm, its with a fall worthy of a comedy show.
