Unbelievable Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Unless there is nothing to possibly stop you going over due to the contact it is a dive. I don't blame Robben, he's doing what anyone would do in that position. I wonder what Unbelievables opinion is, the man who condemned Suarez handball at the World Cup. Going by his arguments back then, there's no way he's happy here. I'm not particularly happy no. Actually, there is a nice parallel between this incident and our tournament in general so far; both are effective and "acceptable" within the rules, but both do not really command respect or set the pulse racing. Still I think we've been on the receiving end of two questionable penalties already this tournament, and nobody could have complained if Robben got a penalty in the first half. So in that sense I don't think the pen was unjustified, especially as Marquez did foul him. Robben is a brilliant player, but I don't like that side of him, same as I suspect you don't like it on Neymar. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Unless you're capable of dropping deep, picking up the ball and taking on an entire team before scoring then it's not going to work. Basically we need Messi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 If you give a touch like that as a foul then every challenge will be a foul. If you touch a player before you win the ball, say as in a sliding tackle. It's ridiculous that's even thought of as a penalty. It's nothing that's been turned into a penalty by a cheat because of a tiny touch in a contact sport. A blatant cheat who's done it repeatedly and FIFA/UEFA have let c***s like him multiply because they're scared to act. I f***ing hate modern football and the win at all cost cheating c***s that infest it. Spot on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My argument has been the same throughout this discussion. I don't know what you are talking about. I said Robben deserved a penalty because he was fouled. It is necessary to dive sometimes when you have genuinely been fouled in order to get a free or penalty that you deserve.

We've all seen times a player has missed a chance having ridden a poor challenge thats clearly affected his ability to score, before it was remarked "He'd have had a pen there if he'd gone down". This complete honesty in football ideal is great if refs were consistant but they're not. Robben was clearly fouled & deserved a pen first half, its hardly suprising hes then made the most of further incidents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is complaining about contact on a tackle. But if you barge into someone, swipe at their legs, knick their ankles, etc without playing the ball then you're putting them at a disadvantage and slowing them down unfairly.
