It's embarrassing and not what I want to see our players doing, but lets not act like every successful team isn't full of divers, it's necessary to win trophies in this sport.

 

This. This place, my god, we should be biased as hell in favour of our players but it's just full of posts from folks willing to jump on anything the "player it's cool to hate" does. So he dived, big fucking deal, he's certainly not the first and won't be the last.

Meanwhile in the England thread Dele Alli is getting backed to the hilt for being a worky c*** and being praised for it.

I can't even imagine how much hate would be here if Mitro did what Alli did against Slovakia. Probably one month of media hunting and slamming and crucifiction. Neville demanding from FIFA to ban Mitrovic for 10 years, BBC showing the finger as MOTM, as top sports news. Richard Keys making t-shirts with Mitrovic showing finger and with 'Ban him for a lifetime' text on it.

 

And no1 buyers would be us, Newcastle fans, who just love to hate him.

It's still irritating me that he got himself banned.  Considering the form he's in, he would've been a very good option for us in these next 3 games.

 

He does keep shooting himself in the foot like. This is probably the first time he's been in serious consideration for starting as the main striker under Rafa, and now he's on the sidelines again.

Don't really think he's said too much wrong in that article said he spoke to lansing after. He's hardly gonna come out and go, yeah fucking knocked the little argie prick. I personally think way too much was made of it.

 

It was more daft than malicious in my view, but at the end of the day he was guilty by the letter of the law, and that's why he knew an appeal was a waste of time. It was totally pointless, that's the main gripe, so I can't be arsed to defend him personally.

Aye!  I'm not his biggest fan but he's in good shape and scoring goals, he's should be a serious contender!

Come on it's an absolute nothing incident. The ref saw it and dealt with it correctly. It isn't a red, it isn't a yellow and it shouldn't be a suspension. Watch it again, forget about Alexander Mitrovic for a second and imagine you're just watching two players. There's no way Harry Kane gets even a yellow for that.

 

The only reason the FA suspended him is because the Sky pundits hysterically told them to. Far worse incidents at Huddersfield (a stamp and a kick to the head) went unpunished because the media didn't even bother to highlight them.

 

That is the real issue here, and the one the club should be highlighting. Instead we just bend over and take it.

Black and white goggles all over that post.

 

If this is a correct suspension then fair enough - I'll look forward to seeing a dozen suspensions handed out every week for similar - and far worse - incidents.

 

Do you disagree that the two incidents at Huddersfield were worse?
