[QUOTE="Ospreylian, post: 804771, member: 59055"] Oh come on, the Naholo shoulder barge is completely different in every way to the Huget incident. The Huget incident happens after the whistle is blown, his reactions are completely exaggerated relative to the force of the push and he holds a completely different part of his body to where he was actually pushed. Also, Huget stays down on the floor for ages afterwards, football style, and milks it for all it's worth, whereas Williams gets to his knees straight away and (quite rightly) asks the linesman if he saw the very obvious shoulder barge. Here's another angle for you: [IMG]https://media.giphy.com/media/3o72Fg21xEuV8XI1H2/giphy.gif[/IMG] Whereas Huget falls with very little force, Williams falls at the same rate and trajectory as anyone would fall after being barged from the side and out into touch. In fact, from the second angle it kind of looks like all he is doing when he throws his head back like that is shouting out in frustration or complaining, perhaps angry at the fact that he can't chase the ball through because he's been knocked to the ground. So the whole argument he is milking it is debatable to begin with. Not to mention the fact that Williams does not at all infringe the " a [COLOR=#000000]player must not commit any act that may lead the match officials to consider that that player was subject to foul play or any other type of infringement committed by an opponent" rule whatsoever, as he WAS subject to foul play [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
