I agree, I’ve just watched the incident and he definitely catches ampadu’s foot and amps doesn’t roll around on the floor at all, he just stays down having been kicked. No problem with amps. My problem is with the Welsh players that didn’t stop the gobshite Maclean going over to point at amps and give him a mouthful. They should have stepped in earlier.Strange how you can watch the same thing as others and come to completely different conclusions. Admittedly I've watched it back about 5/6 times on Youtube now, I guess it does look more of a dive in the first instance.
But for me he clearly makes contact on the slow mo, kicks the heel on bottom side of Ampadu's boot. Just look how McClean's boot reacts in the challenge and sends him toppling over himself. It sends Ampadu flying more than he already was, and looking at the impact he makes when he hits the ground, no wonder he stays down. Didn't feel there was too much rolling around after the initial force takes him over either.
