It's nice ideologically, but I think the FA will need to change dramatically for anything like it to ever be enforced.

I agree - but they should

At the end of the day these sorts of issues are far more important to the game than determining whether or not to take a goal off a striker to a defender who doesn't want an og awarded to them because of the trajectory of the shot

The dubious goal panel is mostly a waste of time in my opinion - if a strikers shot results in a goal I feel it should be his goal even if it required a deflection to go in.

This pointless waste of resources could be redirected to determining which offenses should and shouldn't be punished - players who get away with cheating could be punished and players unfairly punished could have their yellow cards and bans rescinded instead of worrying about whether a shot that would have hit the post had enough backspin on it to have gone in directly had it not hit the defenders knee

Oh Suarez. Suarez, Suarez, Suarez. You're a racist cannibal and now you can add diving to your outstanding resume. Now what are going to do with you? The object is not to be like Ashley Young. Disgraceful footballer, you are. Disgraceful.

Its funny. Liverpool fans and Rodgers claim Guzan made contact. On the suarez trend on twiter, someone zoomed all the way in and said Guzan made clear contact with his hand. Guzan's hand was no where close. Funny as shit.

if he's a racist I doubt you can suggest he's aim is to emulate Ashley Young

He aims to emulate Young with his diving.

Yes I know what you meant (you seem to say the same things every time Saurez is mentioned on this forum) - I just wondered if you saw the irony in what you said and made a joke of it (I didn't actually think you meant Suarez was going to start wearing black face to emulate Young)

What do you mean 'now you can add diving'? He's always been a diver.

Yeah that was his first claim to fame. He added hand balling, racism, studs up challenges and biting to his resume afterwards.

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a manager who will lie to defend his players. Rodgers is a prime example of this. Frankly, I'm not surprised.

They should retrospectively ban players for diving. I remembet Krasic getting a 2 match ban for diving at Juve, and he was carded for it in the game too. I'd hope it'd become a precedent for further bans in Italy, but the Italian FA haven't done it since.

Rodgers should be banned for having the gall to defend the cheat.

And eye gouging.

Yep. Moyes used to be good for condemning his own until his move to United where he threw all his credibility out the window!

And eye gouging.

Right you are! Another trick up his sleeve

Fabulous free kick from Cabaye against West Ham - Newcastle a still very much a threat to us

Didn't Adriano also get a ban for diving at one point? Possibly before Krasic did but I can't remember entirely.

The thing that gets my goat is if someone makes the tiniest sliver of contact that's used to justify a penalty, even if it isn't something that'd impede the player in the slightest (usually as they're already on their way down when said contact is made). Calling stuff like that an actual foul is bloody ridiculous, if it happened anywhere else but the penalty box they'd get laughed at.

I'm expecting Chelsea to thrash Man Utd.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Such a weak United team, it's genuinely scary how bad it is

 

[beats1]

no kagawa after being decent in his last showing but agree, REALLY BAD team

 

[tiger666]

So what do we want here then lads?

 

[Wolver]

Draw would be good, considering we got City next.

 

[CornerPinDreamer]

the AVB in me says draw, the Sherwood says Manure to win..

 

[tiger666]

Aye probably. Think Moyes will be crying tonight though.

Rather chelsea to be very honest. Love United struggling. Keep them below us as long as possible.
