Needs to be more composed in front of goal but he’s quality. Needs to cut out the diving though because with VAR at the World Cup he’ll get pulled up for it.

Might stamp it out of the game that way I thought if you didn't get caught in a game and it was seen after a game and you got found guilty of simulation, then you normally get a few games ban anyway ?

Lanterne Rouge Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 If English football really wanted to make a stand he would be dropped from the squad. Won`t happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young and Ali two more Mind you most sides at WC will have 6 or 7 that are far more proficient Didnt see the same outrage when Marlon bought one last season mind I hate it when anyone does it, our player or not. To me it’s the absolute scourge of the game and IMO trying to deliberately defraud a fellow pro is inexcusable. 1 minute ago, Forever Red 94 said: Diving should be a sending off offence and a 3 game ban, if caught after the game it should be a 6 game ban as they have succeeded in conning the ref.

ZiderEyed Posted June 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Stupid stupid ***. Hope he gets a bollocking in the post match interview off Southgate, absolutely pathetic. Amount of kids diving about in the park, games or training, trying to emulate what their heroes do. It's a cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviestevieneville Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 I hate diving as much as anyone but foreign players/fans see it as part of the game. Did anyone moan about Owen diving against the argies in 98 ? Obviously hypothetical but, Sterling is clean through in the World Cup final gets slightly nudged but makes the most of it and we get a penalty that wins the World Cup . How many of you lot moaning now would moan then. Oh none of you thought not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of you lot moaning now would moan then. Oh none of you thought not. I suppose it depends on the individual... I genuinely detest it and if we won the World Cup by diving I'd see it as a tainted cup. I think the FA should fine players a minimum of 2 weeks wages if they're caught diving, not just in the game but in footage after it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Rocker Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 2 hours ago, Taz said: Didnt realise we were playing I didn't know there was an England game either, which is probably the first time that has happened to me in about 40 years or something. Says a lot about the current mood surrounding the game. Instead I watched until close of play in the test match and then watched the second half of the football on ITV +1. Wish I hadn't bothered with the football but glad to have seen the cricket through to the close. A sentence I never thought I'd say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
