madras Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 1 minute ago, The College Dropout said: It's not though. Which is why Bruno gets fouls and Longstaff doesn't. From what I see on repeated watching particularly when Bruno is close to the touchline they are exactly the same fouls in exactly the same situations. Not every foul but many. Referees do it, I've no doubt you've said it to yourself when a foul is or isn't given sometimes "if that wasn't on him its not given", Bruno falls into that lots, the exact same foul isn't given on lower profile players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 IMO Bruno is often moving with the ball, the player is often biting at him or holding him for some period before the foul is given. Bruno will also have 2 or 3 other occasions where he just skips past that very same opponent and at least 1 occasion he's being fouled to an obvious degree. Longstaff ends up stationary for a second or so and falls over. Almiron isn't as bad for it as Longstaff IMO. The main issue for both of them is a lack of footballing ability. This is just one symptom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Longstaff does it because he can't play his way out of a press. Not with a pass, not with a dribble, nada. He's not buying fouls because they aren't fouls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmesy Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 3 minutes ago, gbandit said: So fucking tiring having people like Barton and Farage whose only currency is stirring hate. Literally the only thing they’re good at is getting people angry Oldest trick in the book. Talentless dickheads have been keeping themselves relevant for decades by spouting vile antagonistic shit. If people just ignored it they’d have to stop. It’s the reactions that create news that create relevance that create income. Hopkins, Farage, Price, Tate etc. People just play right into their hands Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
