Geordie Ahmed Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 soft pen maybe....but he still gave the ref a chance to award it. No need to do that...it was not a dangerous situation. silly mistake. learn from it and move on... I'm not sure it's realistic for a player to go around thinking "he might dive, he might dive..." all the time. Dunno. Not all the time BUT when the player is going away from goal, is almost outside of the box why give the player a chance to dive? Just sheperd him out the box and then put a foot in if need be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Just add him to the list. Ashley Young, Gerrard, Rooney, Agbonlahor, Welbeck, and many many more. Don't forget Ba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Looked at it a few more times last night and this morning - soft pen. Gabby made a meal of it as well. Something that is sadly "part of the game" as commentators and pundits say. Played football my entire life - that was some theatrical shit by Gabby man.

TherealnorthernTOON Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Worrying that he gets caught out with the pace tbf, hope he will learn fast and will come back never getting beaten come next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Big learning experience for him last night. It always takes players a little bit of adjustment to the speed of the game here when they arrive. Evra and Vidic struggled at first and Debuchy has been thrown straight into it to be fair.

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Tbf to him, he was caught out by Agbonlahor and much quicker players than Debuchy have been burnt by his pace. I agree he needs to adjust to the pace of the league and knowing when he can stay back, go forward or hold on to the ball etc etc but never the less you won't find many quicker players in the league.

basjen Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 http://imageshack.us/a/img515/3136/screenshot20130130at112.png This picture tells you all you need to know, no one in the history of being tripped falls with their arms flying like that; only divers throw their arms up in the air. Still shouldn't even have given Agbonlahor the chance to dive like. This. Big dive, but should be experienced enough not to give Gabby the chance.

Guest bimpy474 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Yes, but big dive is the important point. Exactly, sick of hearing oh he gave the player a chance to dive. It's cheating and i'm sick of the players who cheat being given excuses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Agree with what the people who said there was no need to stick a foot in said. aye, he tries to get a foot round, bimby's right in that it isn't a foul but only when you watch in slo-mo. every time i watch it in real time it's a pen and clumsy with no need to even be trying to get there, just shephered him out the box, which was where he was going.

Wilson Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Looked it in real time, can't blame the ref for giving it. Just a daft thing to do really, like people say he should have just directed him out of the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 real time - definitely a pen slow mo - definitely a dive Don't entirely agree with that, my thought was "it's not a foul but the ref will give it". Which is kind of the same thing, kind of not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes such a massive difference to us going forward, there were times today where he maintained the attacking flow for minutes at a time while with Simpson those said attacks would have been stopped dead in its tracks.
