Michael Appleton says it was a stonewall penalty and then Danny Hylton apologises to Prosser and admits he dived and never touched him.
#Awkward :hilarious:
He should be called to book if he admitted he dived

As grating as Hylton is museshrimper he could have scored a hat-trick today.
Getting a bit bored of this one now, but to conclude, I was not being a champion of Hylton, simply pointing out an example of someone who can score at this level. As a few of you like stats so much, he has scored 6 times this season, our combined forward line have mustered 1.
We attracted that proven goalscorer Lee Barnard didn't we?HMMM
3 of his 4 league goals have been from the spot to be fair. I would be really disappointed if we brought him in looking at his record.
Sorry have we gone stark raving mad on here? Are we talking about the very same Danny Hylton who has scored 43 goals in 209 career games? So an average of 1 in 5? Therefore a magnificent 9 a season average? And this for a penalty taker too (certainly at Aldershot and Oxford anyway!). Sorry from the sound of it I thought we were talking about Pelé or something.....
Bonkers, there are no other words. If someone like Hylton came in I'd be extremely disappointed in the calibre of player we were looking to attract.
Hmm, I think I'd be quite pleased with Hylton at this moment in time. I also think we might have had chances to sign a number of other proven goalscorers currently with L2 teams. Appiah, Barnett, Tubbs and Akinfenwah are all strikers who imo are all light years above our current crop of aging and/or incompetent strikeforce.
I'd even be inclined to have some real old boys like Cureton or Nardiello up front for us ahead of our current tripe. At least they look like scoring!
I suggested we go for Jonathan Forte who was on a free transfer at the beginning of the season. 10 league 1 goals so far
Any striker needs service and that is what we are not providing to the likes of Corr Barnard etc. They have scored before so what is going wrong?Having a great season, but got 4 goals in 28 last year, a third of what Corr got.
Finding someone with a history of goal scoring is extremely difficult at our level and just goes to show you dont even need to, just because someone hasnt scored hatfuls in the past couple of years doesnt mean they cant score goals now.
I have to say that the adulation Corr gets from fans is in my opinion, a little misplaced.
I remember watching us in the first season he played for us and he attempted an overhead kick that showed about as much technique as what you'd expect to see from an 8 year old. I think his level of technique can be described generally as "agricultural" at best. However, I was always unable to say much in this regard since, as you say, he scored 21 goals in that same season. I would of course question the "class" of the goals as most of them seemed to be scored inside the six yard box off his shin, but they all count.
His second season was a complete wipeout due to injury. His third season saw him score 13 goals in 17 starts, but whilst that seems a generous return, he came on as a sub in a further 23 games and 3 of his tally was scored in the JPT which for me is on par with a "friendly". We may as well count goals in pre-season against Gt Wakering, if we're going to count those ones.
Last year he got 13 in 51 appearances which is "alright", but not exactly setting the league on fire. Finally this year sees him with 1 goal in 12 appearances.
Overall, you take a way his first year of shinners and the record doesn't look quite as good. Although in his defence, he is a good header of the ball, but that ability is neutralized by our own style of play. If Brown knew that Corr was a target man, and someone capable of scrambling the ball into the net, why did he keep him here if his style of play contradicted Corrs few qualities. No pace, no skill, no dribbling ability or flair.....Hardly up there in the SUFC Hall of Fame....It's like Liverpool having Peter Crouch in theirs.
