Pat Nevin, at Cardiff City Stadium for BBC Radio 5 live sports extra
"Bale has clipped his own heels for me. It's tight, but if there is the slightest contact there it is a penalty kick. Bale has been the best player on the park by a million miles. He's tried to create chances for everyone else who have not been able to take them, so he creates a chance for himself and takes it. He was looking for it, but he got the slightest of touches and went down. And that is what a forward should do.
When did it become a no contact sport?
And a striker SHOULD dive?Football without Origi is nothingComment

Get in! Ireland pull one back.That rug really tied the room together.Comment

We can all see he's trying to justify a distinction he has chosen to make between people who dive genuinely (usually British and heroic) and those who are dirty cheats (typically untrustworthy, very possibly swarthy and perhaps Uruguayan). I think Nevin is generally ok, even though I agree with him no more than others, but he's way off drawing such a hard and fast distinction.
And it was a dive. The contact Bale felt was one of his feet clipping the other. None of the angles I've seen definitively show any contact with the Scotland player..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.Comment
he's a class act.
