Birmingham keeper Foster: Gardner no diver or cheat

Birmingham City goalkeeper Ben Foster is disappointed for Craig Gardner after his dismissal for diving in the draw with Wolves.

Foster has some sympathy for the former Aston Villa player.

He said: "I do feel sorry for Craig. There were a few things from their side they didn't even get a yellow card where they could have been yellow cards.

"Craig is not a dirty player, a diver, or a cheat or anything like that. If he's gone over, it's not because he is trying to win a free-kick.

"He was probably just off balance. That's the way he is. It's not like he was looking for a free-kick or a yellow card for the lad (Jody Craddock).

"He will miss two games and it is not great timing for us at a critical part of the season.

"But you've got to move with things like that. It is just the way it is and the gaffer will pick his team accordingly next week."
