Seen it now and it was both a pen and a red. Taylor may have been going wide, but the only other player in the box was Bauza, unmarked in the middle. One of them would have got a shot away without the foul.

If it wasn't a foul, how come the ref didn't book him for a blatant dive?
Bottler, end of story.

If two players were to go shoulder to shoulder and one fell over, would that be a blatant dive? Or perhaps the one who fell over simply tripped and fell over - again, a blatant dive?
Why is it whenever someone goes to ground and a foul isn't given it's automatically a 'blatant dive'?

The challenge wasn't shoulder to shoulder though. If the referee thought the defender got something on the ball then fair enough, if not than its a dive or a penalty.

Not saying it was, I was replying to the assertion that if a player goes down and a free kick isn't awarded that it must be a blatant dive. It's just an example of how that might not be the case.

In this one incident it looks as clear cut as it gets, i think the ref was either too far away or simply bottled it. The only clearer penalty for city not given was chris fry v torquay in last minute just after flacky had levelled past fat nev southall.
It should have been a pen and red card, or a yellow for Taylor. Anything else is poor.

I didn't make that assumption at all Moxey.
I fail to see how the phrase "If it wasn't a foul, how come the ref didn't book him for a blatant dive?" within a discussion about a specific incident in our game vs. Oldham, refers to all 50/50 challenges across the whole of football worldwide?
(and this wasn't even a 50/50 challenge - it was a blatant hacking job!)
