Not sure if Lightners fall under general bridge knowledge or require an alert. Anyone not taking the safety play of low to the T♦ when their RHO plays the 9 and is my partner deserves my irritation whether it works or not, if he is my opponent he only gets a smirk

Unfortunately, "General Bridge Knowledge" is usually a rationalisation for inadequate disclosure
For example, not everybody plays Lightner Doubles, so if the double is Lightner, it is disclosable
Partner/opponents deserve zero-tolerance of bad-temper/gloating

Just curious, did your partner indeed misplay the diamond for down 1? I thought he was just trying to bring up your blood pressure in first 3 tricks (note that none of these actually cost anything, unless hearts were 4-0 AND spades 8-0)...

yes he actually misplayed the hand while railing against being doubled and he was close hearts were 3-1 and spades 7-1 which should leave you wondering why the hell didn't the opps sacrifice in 7♣ and I think the mindless Lightner may have led them astray
