St. Maximin Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) Sorry I forgot I can’t criticise things like cheating. All the other teams do it you know. Great dive Callum, quality shithousery etc. 👏 Edited May 18, 2023 by St. Maximin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t take anything away from a cracking performance mate. Was full of praise for him. But it’s still cheating and I don’t like that. He’ll get away with more than other players will, which isn’t really right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last two seasons the guy has probably been denied about 10 really strong penalty shouts where we've seen weaker or more dubious ones awarded the same weekend or even at the other end of the same pitch. He's in a huge deficit when it comes to getting awarded pens when he's genuinely fouled so if he can con one or two to claw some of that back good on him I say.

Totally fair to appreciate these guys as players and still criticise behaviour. Quite why you’re having a go at someone calling out cheating from his own players I’ll never know but each to their own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite why you’re having a go at someone calling out cheating from his own players I’ll never know but each to their own. Its not really having a go at you as the idea that there's a difference between diving and pulling someone's shirt and getting away with it. Both cheating and gaining an advantage but the majority (and I'm assuming you are in that) seem to see one as worse than the other. If not I await your having a go at Burn Botman, Schar for all the snide little fouls they done tonight......and they did. So did their players.

Wilson Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I was pointing out that he looked a bit goosed, not being his usual strong self in 50 50s, not being as sure as he normally is when pressing, thought he'd be the one to come off when we made a change etc. I love being proved dead dead wrong.

I agree they (and defenders in general) should be criticised for antics like shirt-pulling etc. Strikers of course foul too even without the diving fwiw. I just said I didn’t like it, having talked up what a player he is. It’s not going to change anything.

Stottie Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Mo Salah is joint best player of the league over the past five years with KDB. We can focus on his skill and celebrate how great he has been at dribbling and shooting, or just point out that he dives in pretty much every game. Since he is a skilful man, this also means his dives are better than some other players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Nice guys always come last. I'm all for the shithousery and diving if we gain an advantage. I think it makes the player Wilson is, winding up the defenders and constantly purposely blocking the keeper so they can't start a quick counter attack.

Stop being a moron, I’m just stating my opinion. Absolutely ridiculous the way people jump on someone’s back here for having a difference of opinion. I’m sure none of you have ever complained about anyone else diving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
