can some one clear this up for me,

[devils2001uk]

why did we get a pen for triping, when they got a pen for diving ? (in the belfast game )

and


why is high sticks 2 mins when accidental high sticks is 2+2 ?

You can be fouled and over exaggerate to ensure the penalty is called.

James has covered the first one.

2+2 is called when an injury has occured but deemed accidental.

Not that James is wrong... But if its Max's penalty from last night in particular I thought they were for separate incidents. Tripping by Max on the blue line (or not as it looked from where i was but there you go) and diving in the crease during the subsequent delayed penalty.

I didn't see who Max tripped but the guy who got binned defiantly milked some contact down by the goal mouth during the ensuing delayed penalty. Maybe James is right and he dived twice! If so he should consider a career in football.

Accidental high stick is 2 min with an additional 2 min when there is blood.

I think you are correct in this case Mark.

I suspect accidental high sticks carries a bigger penalty as it is more dangerous to be out of control with a stick than deliberately doing something whilst in control.

Accidental high stick is 2 min with an additional 2 min when there is blood.

Sorry stub but not correct. Accidental is always 2+2. Also blood is not the defining factor , it is any injury.

Smyth and diving seemed a tad strange.

Diving involves a certain level of activity at a certain speed. I suspect he got the 2 minutes as that's how long it took him to get up. :twisted:
