Beren Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I wish there were a concerted campaign to expose the explicit horseshit that seeps out of the mouths of pundits. Something they couldn't ignore or dismiss with an "anyway, penalty or not, Man Utd are through and face Arsenal in the next round, now what do we think of that match Martin?".

Jack Flash Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 It was a dive, therefore, not a penalty. It's black and white. The keeper should have tried to stay on his feet though. You give the modern footballer a chance like that and they're going down. Well yeah, if the "modern footballer" is a massive cheat like Wayne Rooney. Or Steven Taylor, aye. They're all massive cheats. Lazy comeback. Aye, not the best come back considering everyone here hates Steven Taylor And it was 10 years ago. Shameful stuff from The Frog. Which makes it even worse. Diving wasn't as prevalent as it is now. If you're going to try and tell me Newcastle players don't dive I'm out. If that's the best comparison you can make then you shouldn't really speak on such matters. No Taylor's was much worse but it's the first one that came to mind. When I watch Newcastle I tend not to nitpick on things such as diving. I've come to accept it's not going away. The dive tonight is hardly nit-picking is it? Nor was it "better" than Taylor's, regardless of the historical context. Taylor got caught instantly and was shamed for weeks yet England captain Rooney gets a penalty and another free pass.

Beren Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I just want one credible and notable person of footballing integrity to come out in the mainstream media to say "Wayne Rooney dived fairly clearly, as many people do, but it's insulting, patronising and sadly typical of Roy Hodgson to lie about it to all the fans watching who have eyes". Football has propaganda like nothing else in 2015 I swear* * - massive exaggeration Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely can't think of one dive this season from a NUFC player that was anywhere near as bad as Rooney's tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ndegwa Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Careless challenges don't need to make contact. Neither do reckless challenges. And attempting to trip an opponent is a foul even if you fail. Rule 12. You're assuming the keeper was attempting to trip an opponent rather than going for the ball? Rooney dangles his leg, it's a dive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Direct free kick A direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any of the following seven offences in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force: • kicks or attempts to kick an opponent • trips or attempts to trip an opponent • jumps at an opponent • charges an opponent • strikes or attempts to strike an opponent • pushes an opponent • tackles an opponent A direct free kick is also awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any of the following three offences: • holds an opponent • spits at an opponent • handles the ball deliberately (except for the goalkeeper within his own penalty area) A direct free kick is taken from the place where the offence occurred (see Law 13 – Position of free kick). Penalty kick A penalty kick is awarded if any of the above ten offences is committed by a player inside his own penalty area, irrespective of the position of the ball, provided it is in play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ndegwa Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 What? He really doesn't. If you watch it in real time, it's a 50/50 that Rooney wins with his extra pace. The keeper goes for the ball, how could you possibly say otherwise? You must be on the wind up, your opinions on football are nuts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Chelsea: Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry ©, Azpilicueta; Ramires, Matic; Willian, Fabregas, Hazard; Diego Costa. PSG: Sirigu; van der Wiel, Silva, Marquinhos, Maxwell; David Luiz, Verratti, Matuidi; Lavezzi, Ibrahimovic, Cavani. About time Marquinhos starts centrally. Mourinho with his typical defensive line-up in the CL as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
