Guest firetotheworks Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Aye, I absolutely hate it. It would help if referees started giving pens to players who stay on their feet after being impeded, mind. Coutinho should have had a pen yesterday and probably would have got one if he'd chosen to go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coutinho should have had a pen yesterday and probably would have got one if he'd chosen to go down. This is it. I'm not going to blame players for going down easy (providing there is some contact which impedes them in some way) when it's been proven time and again that players don't get penalties by staying on their feet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to blame players for going down easy (providing there is some contact which impedes them in some way) when it's been proven time and again that players don't get penalties by staying on their feet The fucking pundits are complicit in this as well. If they started calling a dive a dive rather than supporting players who go down when they feel some contact, it wouldn't be seen as the norm. Publicly shame these diving fuckers and start putting pressure on the FA to clean the game up. Every time i hear 'there was definitely contact' I want to hurl my fucking TV out of the window. So fucking what if there was contact, it's a contact sport. If the player could have stayed on his feet but CHOSE not to, he's fucking cheating!

steve_69 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Adrian Durham. I know his whole shtick is being a troll and talking s**** to get listeners but he still does my f***ing head in. Talksport is fucking painful in general. They just talk over people and spout shite all day long. How Darren Gough has a job in broadcasting is beyond comprehension - I bet the guy struggles to get himself dressed in the morning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 There are ridiculous double-standards like. Gaston Ramirez was berated by every pundit going purely because his dive looked daft and no one touched him. That seems to be the line that pundits draw, whether it looks embarrassing or not.

How Darren Gough has a job in broadcasting is beyond comprehension - I bet the guy struggles to get himself dressed in the morning. I normally don't pay too much attention to it, it's normally just something on in the background in the car on my way to work. But last week they were running a poll for which Premiership team has been the most disappointing in the Champions League. Spurs were (rightly for so) leading the poll but Durham was having none of it. His choice was Leicester being the most disappointing because they only got to the quarters, which isn't acceptable for a team that won their respective league.

You know at that point he's just being a cunt to work all the thick listeners up into a frenzy. I imagine most of them don't get it.

Hughesy Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Is the money for getting in the Champions League even that significant now compared to the PL? I thought I read an article recently saying it's not even that important now, but could be way off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money of the Champions League isn't really that big anymore considering how much they get from being in the PL. I take your point about attracting players though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as important as it used to be, mind Leicester will be getting the biggest share from this season's pot for English teams since they got the furthest in the tournament.
