Wullie Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I totally disagree with your first point, just because there has been "contact" does not make the dive any less blatant (if anything it's moreso, because it's much more cynical). If they can't see that he has felt a touch on his ankle in a standing position and thrown himself to the ground then the system is utterly pointless. It should go without saying that a foot making contact with another foot when both people are both almost standing still is not enough to make someone fall over in agony. If you don't believe me, try it with your friends and family. "Contact" has become the most pernicious word in the sport. An excuse for blatant cheating and an Emperor's Clothes type refusal to acknowledge that touching another human adult does not usually make them fall to the ground.

Disco Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 It was a near replay, albeit slightly different contact, of Salah and Dummett last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be watching but games against the Czechs and Bulgaria are unlikely to amount to much excitement unless it kicks off in the stands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
