    Dives do not always get yellows because they are not always blatant.
    That one was.

    The thing with arguing with the ref resulting in a yellow?
    Whether you agree with it or not (And I am HUGELY in favour of it), its the rules now and every player must go in knowing the rules.
    I mean what is point arguing with the ref, have you ever seen a ref make a decision, get called a "blind ****" by a player then go "oh okay, I guess I was wrong" and reverse his decision?
    Ref don't get paid to allow overpaid ****ing brats to give them abuse.

    Costa just needs to shut the f**k up and play football

    We all talk about Dive only when IT is blatant.
    Rooneys, Youngs never get punished. Rooney did a blatant last match.

    I am all for Costa to shut it and get on. I don't condone his behavior.
    However, his yellow cards first and supposed to be second are all arguable. He didn't deserve second yellows.

    At the same time, I will be OK if Michy starts up front even with Ruben as impact sub instead of Costa tbh.

    Costa wasn't booked for his dive either, at least there is consistency <laugh>

    Exactly mate. Only Bournemouth and Burnleys get those unfortunate decisions.

    Back to the topic of transfer & Striker need.

    We can take Mandzukic who is surplus after Dybala & Higuain.
    We should use Cuadrado as makeshift if needed and replace Costa as well.

    I think you need to look at which players have the most cards for diving and then check which clubs they play for :emoticon-0100-smile

    Really hope not. I really liked Mandzukic a few years back in Euro 2010. After watching Croatia recently and his displays at atheletico and juventus, i'm not a big fan anymore. A solid striker but worse than we currently have.

    I think with united's record in that department I'd wouldn't have wanted to make that comment.

    Why, we have two of the most booked for the offence so it obviously isn't a thing that only happens to small clubs as you suggest.

    (a Spurs player made up the top 3, make of that what you will)

    but Young & Rooney got fraction of the times they dived hardly an accurate stat to infer

    Who mentioned small clubs? I think you've mistaken my comment for someone else's.
