Aye, it dampens it a little bit, but you also get to laugh at all the mopey bitters desperately trying to grab a bit of attention
Swarbs, did you forget that 4 minutes were taken due to the fact Agger had to be stretcherd off the field. Yet again United embarrass themselves with shameful diving
Diving isn't the issue for me, every team has players that do it... Suarez got booked for it last week... And would have done the same thing in that situation. it's the inconsistent refereeing that annoys me... But I'm happy we won anyway.
The ref made a few mistakes today. Our penalty and Suarez not getting booked for diving. The red was harsh but not exactly the wrong decision. RVP yellow was right, not the same as Shelvey.
I know why there was five mins. But had the same happened at OT with someone stretchered off, you could guarantee it would be "Fergie Time" all the way... Ah, you're just bitter that the ref didn't buy your shameful diving
Yeah Van Persie's wasn't two footed or over the ball like Shelvey's.. But when there's already been a red card and you know the crowd will jeer the ref on.. You don't give him any chance to red card you.
I don't even think it was a dive.. Nor was it a penalty... It is possible for a player to fall over without it being a dive, or a foul...
I wasn't watching the game when Suarz dived, only caught the last 30 mins as I was at the shops. But if he dived, then it was wrong and he should have been booked if he wasn't, but then so should have Valencia but instead he was rewarded with a penalty instead. Either way there's **** all we can do now, the sooner the referees and officials sort themselves out the better
The penalty was a penalty, Valencia's back heel was clipped and he was also pushed. (so they say on Sky)
