Nibor Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 1 minute ago, JonDolman said: Minor touch when running at speed is enough to send a player to the ground This is sometimes true when someone is running at full sprint speed and the touch catches them at the wrong point in their stride. It is not true with anything like the frequency that it is used to excuse blatant diving. Otherwise you'd see players falling over like this everywhere else on the pitch but they seem to do it around the opponent's 18 yard box about ten times as often. Funny that eh?

Some of the opposition, especially a big old unit from Newcastle Eagles is the worst at making a meal of any contact, and influencing the referee.

Maltshoveller Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Kane,s first movement after he is touched is upwards!! (like alot of dives) If you get tripped you fall DOWN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any little bit less is cheating. I hope he's punished retrospectively but I suspect he won't be. I still think the only way to stop this will be to put massive retrospective bans on it. It's a shame Alli got booked rather than punished retrospectively, his embarrassing dive was worth a good five game ban. Oh don't worry, I'm sure Tottenham are dealing with Dele, especially after a certain video got leaked on Twitter last night... the mucky sod.

Mind you any side with Hazard and Fabregas in deserves it. Deulofeu had both feet off the ground, was already in a superman pose before he connected with the keeper's shoulder, yet everyone said it was a clear pen! I wonder if it would have been allowed by VAR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just pundits for a tv show, when has their point been more valid than the referees. It gets my back up when at half or full time, these so called experts give their view after watching 20 replays from different angles........ in slow motion! Perhaps some of them should try refereeing a game and then give their opinions!. As Esmond says further up the page, these pundits are on the Sky gravy train, Sky want to run football, from choosing kick off times to having their cameras used for refereeing decisions. They also like to think we hang on every word of their pundits, I certainly don’t! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
