    I'm still trying to work out if he was mad at the ref for his fair decision or Pogba' booking for diving.

    He was obviously 'mad' because something didn't go his way . . . . one of his players cheated and it was spotted by the referee :oops:

    It was obviously a dive, but to be fair to him it was very difficult to see (I presume) from his angle.

    The difference to me is that, even after he sees it for what it was, I still don't expect him to admit that the referee was right :emoticon-0145-shake

    I think you can buy posters and mugs on the club site, not too expensive either.

    You're not wrong with any of those observations. Right now he is just wound up like a spring, but even though it is all his own doing he would be the last to admit he is wrong.

    Probably pissed off because there was no need to book Pogba. He dived out of the way of a wild swipe at the ball. No it wasn't a free kick to us but why should Pogba have to take a kick to the shins or face a yellow card?

    **** referee, the standard is getting worse by the game.

    It's alright, Watmore was booked this season for losing his balance. Can only be a foul or a dive according to these limited thinking officials.

    He was cheating ,most are at it to be fair ,the game has gone to pot ,players should be accountable for it how else will it be stopped other than a card,with the player doing so it led to the manager being sent off.

    Just had a quick look. I'd say that was a dive personally. He anticipated the contact and went down. His reaction to me looked like he was looking for a free kick. He could have stepped over the challenge easy enough to get past the man.

    Not nearly the worst I've seen, Sunderland players have done worse, but it certainly looked like a dive.

    What a load of ****.

    Go to 2:30 in the video and watch that rather than a silly little 6 second clip.

    He's bullying two other players off the ball and using his strength to keep the ball when he gets swiped at by the opponent and he jumps over the challenge.

    Could have stepped over the challenge easy enough? I'm Sure you lot have many players who could do that easy enough ey?

    It's always easy to judge at slow motion innit.

    Back in muuuh day we'd pick 300 turnips before breakfast and go and watch 22 blokes kick each other half to death and the match would end up 8-19 and we'd all go home and eat coal.

    Just watched it. Looks like he had a good game. Ball for ibra was ridiculously good.

    See the foul/dive differently to you though. We've got/had plenty who've dived so I'm not being high and mighty. I'd think the same if it was one of ours.

    Mate I don't contest him diving but i don't think he could have easily avoided it, nor do I think it was a yellow card.

    Essentially to avoid a yellow card he had to take a kick to the shins.

    I think the ref should have just let the game carry on, no foul, play on but he was obsessed with stopping the game, all match.
