       Not a penalty, and referees giving them are just encouraging
       players to go to ground if they feel any contact.  Yes there was
       contact, but it absolutely did not force him to the ground.

       Hand over his shoulder, holding him down, elbow on his neck and
       pushes him down as he's leaning on him.
       Keep your hands to yourself and you don't give away stupid
       penalties - it's that simple!

       In relation to the penalty, as is said in Australia... a soft
       boiled egg is still a boiled egg.
       The booing by the Hungarian children is disgraceful but sadly
       not unexpected in eastern Europe where racism appears to be
       alive and virulent.

       If it's not wrong to award it, should it not be? A decision is
       either correct or incorrect and in my opinion, shouldn't be
       avoided just because some might think it harsh. As for players
       going to ground easily, which they do, "Live by the sword, Die
       by the sword" as the saying goes.

       As long as a soft boiled egg is given to everyone then there is
       no discussion, unfortunately it is too inconsistent,  more so
       with referees of lower competence .

       [/quote]nope no bias and I haven't seen anyone infer it either,
       just a lack of consistency with regards to the soft boiled egg !

       The booing was very disappointing to put it mildly but the
       taking of the knee is seen as more of a political gesture than
       anything there and when the prime minister makes statements such
       as we only kneel before god and the woman we are proposing to it
       comes as no surprise. My son has never once experienced racism
       in Hungary (or Slovakia, Romania, Latvia and Serbia actually).
       He goes out and about with his friends in Budapest with
       absolutely no fear of receiving racial abuse, including to
       games, both club and country. Yet he gets some racial abuse at
       least once every month or 2 in England and other than to travel
       to uni he stays at home because doesn't feel safe in England.
       I look forward to similar comments from you condemning every
       English club the booing occurs at week in week out during the
       football season and the racial abuse thrown at players week in
       week out.
       Racism is wrong wherever it happens but let's not try and
       pretend it is just a Hungarian/Eastern European problem, there
       is a far bigger problem with it in England than there. England
       fans have booed the taking of the knee far more times than has
       happened in Hungary, they have booed several other National
       Anthems, they sing songs about German bombers when playing
       Germany. They have no room to talk about other fans being
       disrespectful. Eastern Europe is more xenophobic than racist,
       not that that is any better but it's true. Depending on which
       country you are in they care more about which country you are
       from than the pigmentation of your skin. Hungary love the
       Slovaks and Polish but hate the Romanians, everyone hates the
       Serbs apart from the Romanians who tolerate them etc. I might
       get some 'bozgor' comments in Romania, if they hear me speaking
       Hungarian, so might bmb jr but his colour would not come into it
       at all. In Hungary I have been asked if I am Roma because I have
       similar colouring to the Roma population, that would have bought
       me untold abuse if I was Roma. I'm not saying there is no racist
       abuse in that region, the right wing ultras sadly show it is
       alive and strong there in places but it is more confined to
       football terraces than in society at large. It is a global
       problem though and not just confined to Eastern Europe.

       Whilst out having a pint last night I was understandably
       challenged over the penalty.
       Not, as I expected, it having been given but how, in the opinion
       of my supping colleagues, SG1 Officials had allowed players to
       feel able to do what James did and get away with it.
       Entitled overpaid prima donnas was I seem to remember the phrase
       used to describe them

       I don't think anyone was pretending it is just a
       Hungarian/Eastern European problem, but this thread is about a
       game played in Hungary last night, which was meant to be behind
       closed doors, yet which a loophole was found allowing children
       and their parents to attend. The subsequent booing of the
       England players, whether by the children or their parents,
       clearly is a Hungarian problem, which is the point being made.
