It looked like he was going to wander on with play then he stopped the game to book him.I can only assume Tevez either appealed or looked at him in the wrong way and it incensed him to get the yellow out.I though the Aguero one was a pen as well and the commentator (even tho a red sympathiser) just about said what I tought.Outside the area it's a foul all day long.
The weird one though was when Holt did an outrageous dive which Foy clearly saw but thought it wasnt worth a yellow. Not in the box I suppose.

To be honest, I think the same. The fact both were wearing black boots, and the position Foy was in, didn't make it the easiest of calls, and Tevez seemed to fall a split-second after any contact could have been made. Personally, I think it was a tougher call to make than the replays suggest, but shouldn't have resulted in a booking.

I think Foy must've been watching it through the same stream as you two.

Hehe, I watched on TV, and didn't initially think it was a dive. However, although Foy was close, I don't think he could see the tread 100%.

Foy was in a great,fairly perfect position and about 10 yards away.If he cant see it and get it right from there he shouldn't be reffing.

On the money there pal. He didn't see the foul which has been proven so therefore cannot state that it's a dive. I do wonder if they have chance to see the decisions at half-time and realise what they hve done, or realise what we have seen?
Just a point of note, Foy gave us 2 yellows for 5 fouls and Norwich 1 yellow for 10 fouls. Make of that what you will.
