Good so we've established Bentham has indeed penalised Diskin in the past for no reason whatsoever then?

This diversionary what happened next was never the issue and it's you who introduced it in the first place presumably because you'd thought you'd been caught out.

A Steve Gansonesque approach if ever I saw one.

I am still not 100% sure whether or not any contact was made with the head area of the Cas player though. Plus it was not for no reason. Bentham and his TJ's saw enough in the challenge for it to warrant a penalty. But if he was wrong then fair enough. Diskin should just get up, accept it and get on with what he is payed for... i.e. not trying to decapitate his opposition

Why are you not 100% sure though? Dodgy memory, stubbornness or blindness?

It was an incorrect call, plain and simple. If possible do me and yourself a favour and review the Diskin tackle on Michael Wainwright before replying on it's legallity.

Bleeding referee's, thinking they're right even (and especially) when they're wrong.
