Skirge Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 All those dives with obvious non-contact should be punished retrospectively with match bans though. Those players would think twice before trying to con the ref. Exactly, a yellow should be issued and it should then be given to a panel who then issue a retrospective ban. If they start issuing reds then you just know all legitimate fouls against random teams up against the big teams will result in a dive and a red from the referee this giving the big teams start getting the advantage. Straight one match ban but like yellow card accumulation each time a player dives the ban should increase. Another good shout. Also if the dive say led to an opponent being booked or worse sent off then that card should be overturned. If the dive led to say a pen or a freekick that led to a goal the ban should be doubled.

Incognito Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 With all of the rotation of squads and players, a retrospective 1 match ban ain't gonna deter them. The threat of a straight red and 3 match ban just might. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 How much do you reckon they'll splurge in jan? They need a creative centre midfielder, left back and centre back desperately... 40M? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Matuidi is out of contract in the summer. I definitely think that they should be looking to get him plus somebody else a bit more creative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Matuidi is out of contract in the summer. I definitely think that they should be looking to get him plus somebody else a bit more creative. They only signed him the summer we got Cabaye didn't they? Seems odd they only gave him a 3 year deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I honestly don't think that they expected him to progress as well as he had. I mean I know they bought him just after the takeover, but they probably expected that they would replace him within that time frame. Then again if they bought Matuidi they might go for another one that's quite physical, as I can see Moyes fancying that and it would be quite similar to the Toure/Fernandinho partnership. Not sure if there's anybody else out there of that ilk or ability mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Four bookings for diving so far this season. Could have got another two today. That really looked like two decent but not really better than above-average teams today. I haven't got a lot of faith in Sherwood, but he's got a handful of awkward injuries to deal with and it appears that he's getting his head round the sort of team he should be putting out. Adebayor is an obvious bonus, but he has immediately given more opportunities to the younger players than it seemed AVB would be offering. The really nice side is that it's a young squad too. Frustrating that in this most open of seasons, we look like not having enough quality to stick with the top four. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a common thing, or am I missing something ?! Facebook status updates should be only for emergency cases only, which makes it 8-10 times a year maximum.

I never understood it either, if I wanted a running commentary I'd go on a live update website for said team, not sit refreshing my Facebook newsfeed. I have been known to post one or two comments when we've won a particularly important match but never used it to vocalise my wankfest every time some goofy toothed, diving, racist scores.
