Subject: RE: BS: Harlequins v Arsenal
The still pics distinctly seem to me to show the goalkeeper's hand in contact with Eduardo's heel. I can't [& couldn't watching the match at the time & listening to the commentators' comments] see any great evidence of diving, & am glad he won his appeal. In any event, nobody has quite said he beat anyone to death with a walking-stick as Wm Zanzinger did to Poor Hattie Carroll; or even faked injury with a blood-capsule & scalpel like the Harlequin. BTW, does anyone know a brilliant SF story by Harland Ellison called "Repent Harlequin said the Tick-Tock Man" - not sure if this relevant but seems appropriate to mention it here.
