Admin Ian M Posted November 6, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 With the topic pertinent at the moment following Bailey Wright's recent suspension for being shoved to the ground I watched my first Premier League game of the season yesterday, Chelsea vs Manchester. I had to turn it off at half time. The amount of times players were going down and winning free kicks from the compliant referee, often when no contact was made at all had my blood boiling. To think I actually believe we have a decent chance of playing at that level next season, every game is going to get my blood pressure rising due to the amount of cheating taking place. Obviously I want to see City succeed and play at the highest level possible, I'm just not sure I will enjoy it much if we get there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, even if he was hurt he would get up and attain retribution later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 My son is a pilot and just recently been on ground based training. The FA has just banned him for 2 weeks for flight simulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change the rules to include "players must attempt to stay in their feet at all times" (minus sliding tackles and the like) and a ref can simply say "I'm not giving anything as you didn't attempt to stay upright". Would be much easier to see fouls for what they are then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Ref should ask to see the bruise before giving a free kick. No bruise or blood, then it's off for simulation It gets me when players are running round with ripped shirts and no free kicks for shirt pulling. Add to this 10 minutes of blatent time wasting and the ref only allows 3 mins of added time. It all needs to be added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laner Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 It's pathetic how some players cheat on the pitch. But only something you tend to see in the men's game. In women's football they just get up and get on with it; even after some real crunching challenges. It's not helped either by certain ex-pro pundits claiming a player had the "right to go down" or "win his team a penalty". You don't win a penalty... you are awarded it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Diving/feigning injury/simulation - in other words physically fit and strong young players falling over at the merest touch - is one thing about football that drives me mad. As does when pundits debate whether there was any contact. It's a contact sport, for god's sake. I'm not really a rugby fan but many professional footballers could learn a thing or two from the egg chasers in this respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distortia Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Having played football to a decent level myself, I can honestly say I have forced myself to go down multiple times. If you don't, the referee doesn't give you penalties, free kicks etc. which are very deserved - if you get kicked hard in the shin but stay on your feet, 95 times out of 100 the referee will play on - despite the rules saying it should be a foul. So I'm not surprised professional footballers often go over easily. Just playing devil's advocate here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
