Gareth Bale hope premier league take note

I see, apologies. Wrong end of stick.

The backing off of Bale for the winner was a far worse defensive crime. Close him down, show him onto his right foot, but back off? Yeesh.

Still. Wales won at last. Which was nice tbf.

Fair call........but I don't think either Wales OR Scotland are going to get a lot of joy out of that group.........

How anyone can compare this incident to Young's farce against Derry is beyond me.

The knock on Bales leg and ultimate tangling of his own legs made it impossible to stay on his feet.... Young's was impossible to go down for anyone else but him.

I'm sorry it went beyond you.......maybe the comparison comes from the fact that there was the most minimal contact on 2 players who week after week will ALWAYS go to ground if they are within 25 yards of the opposition goal or better still in or around the penalty area....

Minimal contact in both cases yes, but completely different impact. Its like comparing minimal contact between cars doing 30mph to minimal contact in an F1 race.... Completely different outcomes.

By all means compare an actual dive by Bale with Young, but to do so in this case when hitting the ground was unavoidable is ridiculous. Chalk and cheese.

Ha ha, no mate....

I actually think by comparing the two, you'd be giving Young too much credit.
