Very good points. In this instance it is that **** refree who shouldn't have given it. He was only 3 yards away FFS. When a United player dives, the whole football world comes to an end. It makes front and back page news in all the papers...(bloody hell I am starting to sound like ****ing Donga!!). It happens all the time throughout the game. If you look at all the other divisions it happens all the time. Having said that we do not want or need ****ing Young to dive and get a pen. It is bad for the club but it was right for Moyes not to blame Young publicly. He should have a word quietly. He made an error in his previous attack on Young. Best thing is to loan him to the scousers. They have a got a team full of divers and cheats. Suarez and Gerrard are only the best and experienced at doing it...
I thought he was fouled. He made a meal of minimally being pulled back and should have stayed on his feet but a foul was committed nonetheless. Graham Poll was in one of the papers who also agreed with my sentiments. He has also pm'd me agreeing
Next time he does it, Moyes should twat him with a rolled up newspaper, would definitely send a message.
Poll is only right if every shirt pull in the box is also given as a penalty. Simulation by Young. Wrong decision by the referee. Disgraceful backpedal by Moyes.
The big deal made in the press (and on social media) about Young is quite understandable. It would have been the same if it had been the caniballistic scouser. They have previous history and were supposed to have learnt their lesson. But you raise a potentially bigger problem. If you get fouled by a tug or a deliberate contact of an leg or arm, do you your very best to stay on your feet and pretend it didn't happen - I'll keep going no matter what? or like most players (not just these two) go down or at least make it obvious to the ref that a foul has been committed. is that cheating? Isn't cheating when NO contact has been whatsoever (like Gerrard and Suarez comically throwing themselves to the ground when the nearest opponent is 4 yards away from them) Or the player himself initiating contact to pretend it was a foul (like Young's in his last premiership match)?. Where do you draw the line? for some players the exagerration will be fine and for others it is going to be "Ban him for life for being a ****ing cheat" for doing exactly the same thing...
Sweats you are deluded The defender had hold of his sleeve with his thumb and forefinger, a 6 year old could have pulled free of it without even noticing. If that's a foul then why ****ing bother
