No offence Carl but I hate that phrase. Why is anyone "entitled" to go down just because they feel a touch on them? Diving is one of the worst aspects of the modern game, and it will continue to be so while people are prepared to condone it in this way. There are a lot of rugby fans here where I live - they show constant derision at how easily footballers fall over and call them a bunch of fairies. My only defence is that they're not that soft, they're just a bunch of cheats who feign injury in order to gain an advantage. Quite frankly it's an embarrassment hearing myself say it.
Total blame for that result lies with Mane. If he had done what Firmino would of done and squared the ball to Ox, then the game was dead and buried. Total utter selfishness from Mane. That is so not what this team is about.
First I hope the injustice balances up as quick as the last two did - tbf in recent weeks we had a couple go our way Gonna put another spin on this though - With how CL moved ie cutting back I am not certain where he was supposed to put his hand. Moving at that speed somebody leans in your arms will naturally come up. It very odd we have conceded two very very soft pens of late Again it the consistency, just looking at city Utd game and two players have just shoved a player to the ground and nothing given. Either way derby game always tricky - with Arsenal drawing and Chelsea losing everything still going ok for top 4 - it just tighter
We all know you don't believe that Just celebrate your point, wasn't your fault your club is the dirtiest in the PL
I just can't be bothered getting into a protracted argument about it. We should have had that game tied up long before it happened and it's our own fault we didn't, but the fact is it wasn't a pen.
Luckily our form has meant that today we could draw Two quick games in West Brom and Bournemouth Get six points and all is right in the world We are still in the mix for top 4 We are still in CL We are still in FA Cup lmao Still loads to play for Ps MITO is right with block of four
We're never going to agree on this are we? And I'm not going to take it seriously enough to fall out with you over it mate, so you stick to your story and I'll stick to mine. I'd just like to point out that similarly bad calls have happened to our advantage, and I would always say we were fortunate. That's football, and it's often unfair, but players throwing themselves to the ground too easily is one of the aspects of today's game I really hate.
I'm refusing to be pissed off. Can't change the transfer window so our defence and midfield are what they are with risks involved. Mane has irritated me last 2 games...yes worldie saved him last game but he has to buy into the unselfish stuff that our front four thrive on a bit more. But hey he's scored us goals too so... Unlike previous matches against this type of set up we actually created either individually or as a team 2 chances that should have been buried which is 2 enough against a negative team set up. Individual mistakes today. Fair enough...
