Premier League Week 29 5/6 March

[B20]

Possibly the most shocking dive I've seen since Ronaldo was a United man.

One of the worst dives your ever going to see

Correction: The most shocking dive I've ever seen.

Incredible.

Clear fecking dive, and people are against video refereeing?

That dive was more revolting than a Hitler salute at a Trump rally.

Yep, I have not seen a worse dive in a long time. I thought the ref was going to book Bendickhead.

To his credit he went to the linesman who was equally blind.

That's one of the worst dives I've ever seen. Shocking decision.

There was no contact. There was no defender within 3 yards of him.

The verdict is in

Incredible how easy it is for people to slag off refs when they can't even make out the call on camera.

 

[Spock]

Contact does not equal foul. If we're going to start calling every tiny bit of contact in the box a foul we might as well forget the playing the game itself and just make a "football" a 90 minute pk shootout contest.

He's running at full speed and his standing leg is tackled, you can't possibly know what kind of impact that has on his balance.

Planting his right foot - due on the floor next - would help with his balance.

But he decides not to bother.

I never mentioned him not being touched. He was. But that doesn't equal a penalty. Should players be rewarded with penalties whenever contact is made in the penalty box?

A penalty is given when a defender prevents the attacker from acting in a certain way. Benteke isn't hindered the slightest by Delaney. Therefore, a dive.

Fall looked genuine to me.

 

[Isotope]

Fall looked genuine to me.

The moment he hit the ground, he was looking at the ref direction.

In many cases where there is no doubt there is foul the player looks towards the ref. Its just instinct.

Fall looked genuine to me.

Really? He let's his right foot touch the groud slighty using it to throw himself forward.
