I'm not sure about that, he may have had a bit of tunnel vision trying to follow the play.
Spotting fake injuries. Masters.
What's the lottery numbers whilst you're at it?
How has it become a chest beating macho thing to simply suggest a player is exaggerating injury. You know it goes on all the time so why take such exception now?
Agree with this. Careful though, you'll be called a 'toughguy' for staying on your feet!
...and you can be injured without crawling into a ball for 2mins or going down at all. You're making it hard for yourself here!
There's really no need for such arrogance.The lack of intelligence in here is disturbing, i really don't have the slightest clue whatsoever what some of you are on about when it comes to the claim that De Gea is faking it.
Fred doesn't just slightly touch De Gea, he plants his studs on his achilles tendon and puts all weight on his foot. The level of sheer stupidity and lack of basic understanding of why that hurts like a motherfecker, christ
Except in football where they pretend to be far more injured than they actually are in the vast majority of circumstances? Are you 4 years old? Is this the first football game you've watched in your life? Have you never seen a player roll around pretending to be in pain to buy a foul? Or even when it's a foul, but they have to actually sell it to get noticed? fecking hell it's like "footballers are soft and exaggerate contact" is a new, controversial thing to say now apparently
It's a well known thing that everyone just looks past because they do it to get the whistle called. Just like basketball players are absolute drama queens because they do what they have to do.An injury is an injury. Your own personal opinion on how much that individual is hurt is subjective and not fact.
Your opinion, and that's what it is, is irrelevant really. You even tried to compare the Nani incident as the equivalent when it's nothing like it.Except in football where they pretend to be far more injured than they actually are in the vast majority of circumstances?

Yes but the only reason the discussion of the level of pain is relevant is who gets the blame in this instance. For me, that's De gea as his reaction wasn't required based on the contact. It's literally irrelevant to the decision of the goal being awarded. That conversation starts and ends with "did an Arsenal player foul the goalkeeper?". So the goal is fair. The blame goes to De gea as he gave up on the play when he really could've pushed through.
Obviously, but we generally go off experience and what we see. His reaction wasn't that of someone badly hurt now was it? Because if he was he wouldn't have chased the ref right after would he? Yes, its really not hard at all.
It's actually bizarre that you don't understand people are varying levels of pain tolerance. It's a scientific fact.
Don't understand what? I don't understand what you're talking about or what point you are trying to make.
Why does his foot need to be amputated before they need to stop the game? you're just digging a hole for a pointless battle here.
So its scientific fact that he can be crawled up in a ball in severe pain, then pop up and chase the ref and continue playing for 80mins. Haha, delusional.
Then why wasn't it reviewed?
Who said amputated? you not me.... he needed to be actually injured, as in need treatment or be substituted - he required neither! Nothing to do with bravery or macho, its a knock for gods sake - you're just exaggerating to try in vain to prove your point.
Because there was no infraction. There's nothing in the rules that would overturn the goal last night.
I've had a couple of ligament sprains and the worst pain I've ever felt was aggravating them after the initial injury. Those hurt quite a bit, too, but when you forget for a moment that you're not fully fit and put too much force on them...man, you drop like a sack.
Actually is was reviewed. Hence the delay. I am sure that if it was an Arsenal player who stepped on his foot, the goal would not have stood.
That's fair. Just that 99% the whistle gets blown in that instance and it's clearly not a con.
Yup
Since you seem to be singling out that point... do you genuinely believe that when a footballer starts rolling around in "pain", that that is a normal, appropriate reaction to what happened? That there is no possible way they can just push through the pain of the incident? Or is it just that situation. It's fine if you do, that's just a difference of opinion, I personally don't think De gea was in enough pain to react as he did and his post reaction justifies that in my eyes, but if you disagree then fine. In that case, its just a "well shit, nobody to blame but goal is still a goal" situation.
Yeah majority of the time ref blows in this situation, it's not in the rules but it is how it's almost always dealt with for obvious practicality reasons
If you'd have said that in the first place we wouldn't be having this argument!
They are arguing with a Doctor FFS!
