Greg Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Thats not a dive ffs. He clearly exaggerates, but it's not a dive at all. He puts his body infront of the West Ham player, who runs into him. Awful decision to give a foul against him and a yellow in my opinion. It's a clear dive, his only intention was to jump into the defender and bounce off him to con the referee into giving a penalty. Correct decision. He's ahead of the West Ham player ffs. How does he jump into the defender? To the side, obviously. If he was clearly in front of the player he could have just carried on and had a shot. He wasn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful decision to give a foul against him and a yellow in my opinion. "Put his body infront of the West Ham player" ffs So f***ing Brazilian. Let's just say he jumped into the WH player, dangerous play, straight red. Don't make this a thing about nationality. I'm sitting with bunch of Swedes who agree. Commentator said the same, really harsh decision from the ref. Thats not a dive ffs. He clearly exaggerates, but it's not a dive at all. He puts his body infront of the West Ham player, who runs into him. Awful decision to give a foul against him and a yellow in my opinion. :lol: It's a clear dive. Don't prontonise me nees. I'm not the only one that doesn't think it's a clear dive. For me it's not a dive at all actually. He throws himself to the ground dramatically, but he's going down no matter how you spin it since the West Ham player runs into him from behind. Only the West Ham player doesn't run into him, he runs into the West Ham player to fake the foul and try and con the referee into giving a penalty = dive. I definitely don't agree with this. But each to their own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Not convinced that's a dive. Don't think it was a penalty either mind. Clear dive, you don't go that high up in the air by a tackle or being tripped. Well there's a difference between exaggerating contact and diving. I thought that there was a tangle of the legs and that, along with the pressure from the defender, put him off balance. Not saying it was a foul by Ogbonna either by the way, rather a fairly innocuous coming-together in the penalty box. He caused the contact! It's diving if you throw your body into another person and fall over! Bunch of modern day football mugs. This. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Brave call by the ref. On the replay it clearly looks like he leaves his leg into the defender and goes down straight away. Total stupidity considering the stakes. Imagine if his absence is what loses them the league? West Ham have bossed the game so far, could easily get a result here. Can second yellows be challenged? I know a straight red being overturned is quite common. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norseman Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Seemed to me a blatant attempt to con the referee into giving a pen. The contact seemed to be after he jumped theatrically into the air. Kudos to the ref. Correct and ballsy decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I can only assume these apologist fucks haven't seen the angle from the goalline, where you can see him hop inside, miles away from the ball, purely to cause contact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen every angle possible and can clearly see the ball right there. But clearly we both have a different definition of dive and miles as well for that matter.

It's diving if you throw your body into another person and fall over! Bunch of modern day football mugs. He hardly 'throws' his body into Ogbonna. He plants his foot in between the defender's legs and the ball and their momentum carries them over. Players put themselves in between the ball and the other player all the time. FWIW, I didn't say in my original post that it unequivocally wasn't a dive, but the incident's ambiguous enough to not warrant the yellow card imo.

Disco Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Dive or no dive the law states simulation to be an "Attempt to deceive the referee by feigning injury or pretending to have been fouled (simulation)" which is exactly what he did with his unnatural movement away from the run of the ball to incur contact. Was just a shite attempt at it which didn't work and the ref called properly. The daft racist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
