RedLionLad Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Have we ever seen so many dives as today in the first half of any game before? Their no. 17 and 19 have hardly been on their feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelksRed Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 It really grates me when Players do this......I watch under 13 football and it is starting to emerge I that setting....blatant cheating...should be a mechanism to send them to a sin bin for 10 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dullmoan Tone Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 However let's be honest, Ashley whacked him in the ribs in the first half while making a clearance - I think I would forgive most for laying down after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twice he went down trying to get a penalty and twice the referee didn’t have a word or show him a yellow card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were you’d have seen Ayew throwing himself around and feigning injury virtually all game - probably the worst example I’ve seen at AG throughout the entire match. The refereeing was particularly weak in that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Those in glass houses, we've a couple in our side who go down in a stiff breeze too. I don't like it any more than you but we're hardly innocent ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't notice him much at all which is the big sign, unlike the **** from PNE. The two sides of the coin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree mate - we have lots on here with selective views - it makes me laugh when an opposition player gets sent off vs the gas and the outraged ones post that most annoying of phrases “imagine my shock...” - yeh cos footballers only ever get sent off when they are playing against Bristol Rovers - and, to be fair, I haven’t really got the time to imagine anyone’s shock - it must be a millennial social media thing ... they also think that penalties are only given when teams play da gas ... ‘imagine my shock’ - i’d rather imagine the MILF across the road in the shower, but that’s an entirely different story ...

MarcusX Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 From where I was I felt the ref was quite lenient to us, we were quite physical today. If some of those had gone against us we’d be fuming! also Massengo and Palmer did their own bit of “buying a foul” in the closing minutes. There was contact but they went down easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Fair play to this Reading fan on their forum , and this comment after a frustrating 1-0 defeat ‘ On another note, the ref was very good. He didn't fall for our ridiculous diving (which seems to now be a common feature of our game) and made the correct decisions throughout. It's easy to criticize refs when they're poor so it's important to praise them after a good game ‘ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
