Just watched that ****ing ponce Chico Flores rolling around like he'd been shot after a being brushed by Andy Carroll's arm. This ****er's got form with this kind of thing. It's about time managers started disciplining their own players. I'd have no problem if Brucie took action if any of our players did that. Take English football back from cheating tarts.
Rolling around when not hurt? You mean like Jelavic did this afternoon? On a serious note, I'm sure Bruce has some disciplinary actions he's taken from Sir Alex.
He's a ****. Loads of players do it yet nothing is done to stop it. You get rewarded for doing it but there's no risk of punishment, where's the deterrent? Start introducing 150-match bans for anyone being a **** and it'll stop immediately. It's not something you do by accident or without thinking. It's a pre-meditated attempt to cheat fellow players, fans and everyone involved in the game. Is that too harsh? No. It'd stop this scourge on our great game. Players doing it doesn't piss me off as much as absolutely no one taking any responsibility to stop it. Football just sits and watches the same people keep doing it while honest players like McGregor get 3-match bans for performing a line-dance kick and not even touching the guy.
We're even starting to see diving being rewarded lately. I know I moaned about this in another thread last week but it applies again today. Divers get rewarded for their cheating and the worst case scenario is a booking. It's no deterrent. How did Soldado not get booked for his joke of a dive in the first half today? The yellow he got later on should have been his second. We had the exact same thing with Rooney.
Disagree with the defence everybody seems to be giving Carroll. It was clearly an unnatural body movement and I have almost zero doubt that he intentionally hit him with his elbow in an aggressive manner. Why is Sagbo's slight forehead movement or McGregor's flick of the foot wrong when Carroll is backed up for doing something that would genuinely hurt?
If you're talking about the same incident I am, then Jelavic got contact to his leg, at speed, from a boot, when he was brought down. I'm really talking about those ****ers who go down clutching their faces when there has been no real contact, because they know that reckless and deliberate contact at head/face level is punishable by a red card.
If it gets them the win, dya really think that a managers gonna really blow his top? The way to do it, is to posthumously take points away from teams, where the player has been adjudged to be trying to pull one over the referee. There are enough cameras at a game to follow each player individually. The problem comes from players in La Liga and Seria A where diving seems the norm.
I think you're focusing on the wrong side of this equation, Wilson. I have less of a problem with a rough-arsed centre forward who's all knees and elbows than a centre half rolling around clutching his face like somone has thrown acid into his eyes.
The few times I've seen Chico play this season, he's been a **** every ****in' time. Allardyce laughing in his face (at Swansea) was rewarding.
I can see your point but don't even care whether he meant it or not. That's up to the ref and since it was difficult to tell I'd accept his decision either way. The clear issue is Chico was definitely being a **** again and it's turning the game into a farce and getting worse all the time with players doing this. It's not even just the foreignors and Leeds players any more. Punishing teams would be wrong. The players should take responsibility for their own actions and be punished directly with bans and fines. If managers can be fined for saying the ref got a decision wrong (which harms who exactly?) then why shouldn't players be fined for destroying our game deliberately? I'd be pissed off if we got a points deduction for Sagbo's dramatics.
I'd not seen that footage until they replayed it on MOTD. Have to say - hilarious, Flores looked a little upset and seemed to make a quick recovery from a seemingly fatal injury. i hate all these ****ers who roll around the floor like fannies. Seriously? I broke my ankle 10 years ago playing 5 a side, I still managed to walk myself to the car, couldn't drive it mind. They get a touch and roll around writhing in agony as if someone should be reading their last rights. Pathetic.
Agreed. Playing ice hockey I got smashed in the face with a hockey stick, it broke my orbital bone and made a cut along my eyebrow down to the bone, I didn't even go down. Was lucky it didn't blind me. ****ing wusses these footballers.
I was blasted by a shotgun in the face while playing chess with a psychotic mate. Didn't even flinch.
they are all as bad as each other these days , ok theres much at stake but ive not real connection to a pro footballer i used to play football with me arm in a ****ing sling or a bust up face or full of flu , I do all of the above for £9 an hour still these are paid pro's i know but by god to a man they are fannys - every last one of them .
If a player is brought down and has the energy to roll over and over more than once then there's feck all wrong with the cheating c*nt
if a review panel deducted points for simulation. Managers would fine players that feign injury and then end up selling them.
