Used to be about a ten game ban!
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

No doubt in my mind that it was a deliberate action. Welham had totally done him, the left leg came out and tripped him. Anyone who puts their hands up immediately as if to say it was an accident is a fraud too, its normally a sign of guilt, watch the premiership, its rife.
The reason I asked is I thought it was a red card. I found some rules on tinternet and see it is a professional foul punished by a yellow card. If it is a penalty for a trip though, it should have been carded.

Ask RoversTrace, she's probably got a photograph of it.

It was cynical as Welham would have scored through the massive gap that had opened up.

I don't think there is such a thing as an accidental trip, if it was simply a trailing leg then Welham could have easily avoided it, fact is it was a last ditch attempt to stop Welham and his leg flew out to put him to ground, on realising his error he held his hands up. The officials appeared to not see it and gave a penalty based on the complaints of surrounding Rovers players and the guilty expression on Wilkin giving himself away, It was put on report and I'm sure it will be dealt with accordingly - As was the bite on Jordan Cox (which was something of nothing although a bite is a bite).

It was a sarcastic attempt to make him look at RT's photographs which he routinely lambastes.

Biting is one of the worst fouls you can commit.
Cox still sore from being bitten.
