As is moving the ball forward a few inches during a free kick, or taking a throw in a yard further forward. So is shirt pulling. see where I am going?
It's like they don't even try and hide they're cheating any more, it's that blatant. "Everyone knows we do it, so let's just stop being sly about it and try and cheat on a regular basis"
Newcastle United defender Ryan Taylor has tweeted: "Ashley Young is an absolute DISGRACE. He's the biggest cheat in the league. His antics are a joke."
****ing cheats, you lot are a disgrace. The fact you commented before the abuse shows you know it. If it was a stone bonker you'd have said nothing!!! The abuse on twitter is great. God I hope city do it now #cheat!!
Stop trying to rationalise the cheating that continues to happen. "Oh remember that one isolated incident when Man City got a questionable penalty against Sunderland? It's the same, so our 10 or so questionable game changing decisions are ok". It's poor refereeing and it always goes your way. Stop trying to pretend it's anything but that.
An obvious penalty BUT so exagerated by Ashley Young.. I've seen two replays. It was a penalty but Young didn't have to be so theatrical. I have no interest in either Utd nor the Villa by the way. Minimal contact so it's a penalty.
A Liverpool fan condemning teams that get questionable decisions is a little like Henry VIII criticising adultery.
Thankyou. I have noticed you give quite a balanced view on things. Others could learn from you. Glad to see you are familiar with the rules of the game unlike many on here.
No. I don't. Those are also against the rules. If players take the piss with taking a throw-in too far forward it will be pulled back and it is highly unlikely to affect the game. If a player's shirt is pulled a free-kick or pen will result, assuming the referee does his job. Exaggerating the contact as much as Young and others do cheats the referee into giving a decision he otherwise wouldn't and can get a fellow pro sent off. You can dress it up as much as you like and provide as many examples of other things wrong with the game as you like, but diving is a cancer in the game and Young is currently the most well-known for it.
