Midred Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 This rule only affects teams out of the top 6, and Cardiff of course! Did the referee deny the penalty and send him off, book him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Didn't look like a dive to me, was caught by one of the trailing legs, he was through clean on goal and they're 2-0 up, why dive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched the highlight of it again, definitely was enough contact, De Bruyne was moving at pace and the right leg caught him, you don't need to be cleaned out to go down and the slightest clip can cause it.

Slow motion replays do not help either. In the replay it looks like he goes down easy. Now take yourself outside to the nearest pitch, do a brisk jog and have someone tackle at your feet and see how hard it is to stay upright. It was a pen and it was clear and the replay shows the contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone who says small contact while running isn't enough, just look at tap tackling in rugby and how effective it is at taking down people with minimal contact.

Slow motion makes it looks worse of course it does when in real time it looked bad enough,I might go for a brisk run and fall over a brick but I would fall naturally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never quite understand this. Do the rules that contact is illegal? If my hand brushes your back is that a foul? I think 'contact is something made up by ex professional footballers, which sadly you've fallen for. A dive is still a dive and a form of cheating whether there is contact or not. The most disgusting phrase in football is "there was contact, so he was entitled to go down". Utterly pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityCiderEd Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Just imagine the scenario. Last game of the season and we need a goal to guarantee automatic promotion. Pato cuts into the box and as he jinx past his marker he gets clipped by his trailing leg. The ref immediately gives the pen but Pato winks to the crowd and we score to get promoted. What a cheat eh.

Usually said by the very same people who complain that physical contact is being taken out of the game. Not bright enough to see the contradiction it seems.

Sweeneys Penalties Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 the language of the game has changed. When I was a kid a team conceded a free kick, a penalty a corner etc. Now a team wins a penalty etc. The shift in language suggests that a degree of simulation is acceptable.
