Footage emerges showing absurd referee decision against Saints starlet Dibling
FOOTAGE has emerged showing a simply absurd refereeing decision given against Saints starlet Tyler Dibling versus Manchester City.
The 19 year old was credited by interim boss Simon Rusk as having "outstanding work-rate" in Saturday's 0-0 draw with the FA Cup finalists.
Dibling was back to his best with the ball and against it, as he completed 66 minutes for the first time in over a month before he was withdrawn.
However, the home support was left incensed when Dibling was penalised for a foul when he simply appeared to beat his marker, Josko Gvardiol.

It looked like a bad officiating decision in real time, but footage emerging has shown just how absurd the call by the referee, Tim Robinson, was.
Dibling sized up the Croatian international, petrified of being nutmegged, before knocking it past his planted feet and running around his outside.
The youngster speeds past to collect the ball but Gvardiol hit the deck under the slightest feeling of Dibling's hand on the back of his shirt.
It was an opportunity for Dibling to fashion a rare chance for Saints, entering the box on his favoured left foot with only Ruben Dias to beat.
Dibling was awarded a foul in his favour soon after, escaping two men facing his own goal to play out of pressure before being hauled down.
The upcoming summer transfer window's hot prospect could keep his place in the Saints team for Saturday's visit to Everton's Goodison Park.

Marshon Lattimore wants to prove himself to Commanders
The Commanders advanced to the NFC Championship Game last season, but it wasn't because their midseason trade for cornerback Marshon Lattimore was a home run. Lattimore was dealing with a hamstring injury when he was acquired from the Saints and was inactive for four games before making his Washington debut. He was back on the injured list after two games and missed the final two weeks of the regular season before returning for the playoffs. When Lattimore was in the lineup, he didn't play as well as he has in the past and that's left him with a clear goal for the 2025 season. Lattimore is healthy after the extended break and said on Wednesday that he wants to 'prove that they made the right decision' by trading for him. 'Just the burst,' Lattimore said, via the team's website. 'Just getting all my breaks. I was dealing with a hamstring, and that takes a lot out of you. It takes a long time to heal. I was just trying to battle through that, but now, since I got a full offseason, I feel explosive.' Getting the Lattimore of old in the secondary this season would be a case of better late than never for the Commanders and it would make them a tougher team to throw against this time around.

Inter Milan Hierarchy Pleased With Early Transfer Window Blitz – Won't Rush Further Signings
The Inter Milan hierarchy are pleased with their blitz early in the transfer window, but won't rush further signings. This according to today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInter1908. Advertisement Inter Milan have already made a couple of notable signings this summer. The Nerazzurri have confirmed the arrivals of midfielder Petar Sucic and winger Luis Henrique. Therefore, Inter have taken advantage of the early transfer window for the FIFA Club World Cup. Both of these were deals that had been in the works for some time. In the case of Sucic, Inter had actually snapped up the Croatian in February. However, as part of the agreement he stayed at Dinamo Zagreb until the end of the season, only joining Inter this summer. Meanwhile, Inter had reportedly been laying the groundwork for Luis Henrique's signing for months. And then they finally reached a full agreement with Marseille.

And they've done so in time for the Club World Cup, where players like Sucic and Henrique can start to bed in. Meanwhile, Inter have also given new coach Cristian Chivu two players who he can start to build around. Of course, Inter are far from finished with these two signings. They will certainly make at least two or three more notable ones. From the defense to the attack. However, reports Tuttosport, there will be no rush in this regard. Inter will have all of the regular transfer window in which to do the rest of their business. Therefore, Tuttosport anticipate, the Nerazzurri will be patient and get to work in the coming weeks.
