Port Said Red Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Bruno Fernandez is a shocking waste of talent with a vacuum where his moral fibre should be. The fact that he feels the need to go down like that against a team two divisions below them, sums him up. The fact that Man United have a player like that as a captain, sums them up as a club. 16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble is the people in power have done nothing about diving, feigning injury, being completely pathetic with no backbone to clamp down on it. Then we have ex professionals who are pundits saying exactly what you have stated "he felt contact and had the right to go down", or we hear them say quite happily that "he's done well to have won that free kick/penalty", because it is part of the game now. When the likes of Drogba, Ronaldo (and many others) started going down like being shot, or any player rolling around clutching their face after minimal or no contact and a replay showed they instigated it, or were not even touched, then retrospective punishment should have came in and all should have been given a 3 game ban. Do it again and it doubles to 6. The likes of Fergie, Mourinho wouldn't have players doing that if that was their punishment, and the smaller clubs couldn't afford players to get banned for it. It may not have been perfect but it would have stopped it getting to where it's at now. What's happened to all the grabbing at corners will be a penalty, swearing at the ref would be an instant card, respect campaign, walking off at nearest point for a sub, etc etc etc. The people running the game are just pathetic and will not stand up to anyone near the top of the Prem, then the double standards will come in for a lower club/player and they are happy to do what they want then when it comes to punishment. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS13 Robin Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 The thing that gets me about this is that if that is a Wigan player in the Man Utd box then Man Utd would dispute that as if their lives depended on it,annoys the hell out of me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Hucker Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 Personally, I believe that Fernandez is the root of the problems that ManU has on their playing side. He has a lousy attitude which, as captain, must percolate throughout the playing staff, on top of which, he’s really not that good - certainly not a world class player. Until they get rid of him, United will continue to underperform so I hope that he has a very long career there! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
