Cheat dives… another penalty

I think the chant ‘They only sing when they’re winning “ was aimed directly at Liverpool fans ,Jurgen having to wind them up .
Re: Today’s Football
It’s an absolute joke!
Atwell on VAR. Will want to be justifying his ridiculous decision on Saturday.

Re: Today’s Football
Because players know if there is any sort of contact they can throw themselves to the ground and at the very worst VAR will award a penalty. See Duran for Villa against Burnley.

Neville arguing one way about this pen ,he argued the other way at the last one.
Re: Today’s Football
Cheating pays it seems.
Re: Today’s Football
He dived when he could have just put the ball into the net. Cheating at its finest..VAR is ruining football along with very poor referrees..I'm at a loss what they will come up with next..

Re: Today’s Football
It's pathetic that minimal contact warrants a penalty yet you can wrestle someone to the ground at corners, ruining football.

Neville saying it shouldn’t be a penalty as there wasn’t enough contact.,changes his mind more than the chuffing wind.

Re: Today’s Football
I don’t think there was contact and still they give it. Happens every game. Appalling.
Re: Today’s Football
Think Liverpool will push City all the way this year.
Re: Today’s Football
It’s almost instinctive now. Could’ve just tapped the ball into an empty net but felt the touch, had half a second where he was in 2 minds then threw himself to the floor.
It’s getting difficult to watch games as a neutral with the incessant cheating and the utterly inept idiots operating VAR.

Exactly. He said that because there was clear contact. Have another look.

Re: Today’s Football
I honestly don’t know the rules anymore.
So ANY contact no matter how small after the ball is played is a penalty… is that the rules?

If there is contact and you don't give it, then you are essentially saying you can read the player's mind and they could have stayed standing but chose to fall over.claptrappers_union wrote: ↑Mon Jan 01, 2024 9:48 pm“Stuart Attwell says there's clear contact”

Would you rather we just give pens for contact, one rule for all, or we claim we know people's thoughts and apply the rules arbitrarily based on the ref's mind-reading skills?

Re: Today’s Football
I think the keeper’s contact resulted in one of Jota’s legs slightly clip the other, so he was arguably off balance which may have made the shot harder. But he dived. And this should be penalised.

Re: Today’s Football
The only reason it took him so long to throw himself over is that he looked up and thought “hang on that’s an open goal”.

Re: Today’s Football
I reckon Eddie and Jase might have plenty of free time on their hands soon.
Re: Today’s Football
So if we give a pen for any sort of contact under that premise if I put my little finger on your back it’s an automatic penalty because I touched you ,there has to be some sort of intuition by the officials of how much pressure is being applied or else they’ll be a dozen pens a game.CombatClaret wrote: ↑Mon Jan 01, 2024 10:01 pmIf there is contact and you don't give it, then you are essentially saying you can read the player's mind and they could have stayed standing but chose to fall over.

Re: Today’s Football
It’s very definitely a dive.
He takes an additional step after minimal contact and isn’t falling. Realises he isn’t able to put the ball in the net quite as simply as he wants to and throws himself.
It’s cheating, plain and simple.

Trouble is the pundits don’t have the bootle to call players cheats ,a few years ago the odd player got picked out for diving and all of a sudden they started being scrutinised and their diving temporary stopped.

Absolutely. There’s never any major fuss made of it. A few murmurings and then onto the next game. It’s a nonsense and ruining the game.

Re: Today’s Football
You can see his foot is knocked sideways by almost the whole forearm of the keeper, as the same the next step is taking place because of his momentum. It's a foul in the box, penalty.

Re: Today’s Football
Dive.
Interestingly they’ve just shown the Longstaff one at the other end. Minimal contact on his foot, goes down, not given.
We can add inconsistency to incompetence for the officials.

Re: Today’s Football
How would a guy take another stride and a half and then collapse onto both his knees if he didn’t dive ,no axe to grind with Jota but that his a 100% cast iron dive .CombatClaret wrote: ↑Mon Jan 01, 2024 10:30 pmYou can see his foot is knocked sideways by almost the whole forearm of the keeper, as the same the next step is taking place because of his momentum.

Re: Today’s Football
Blatant dive
Re: Today’s Football
That's a dive pure and simple - he puts two feet onto the floor with no issues after ther contact and then thinks " balls too wide now ,down i go" Its disgraceful and needs calling out.CombatClaret wrote: ↑Mon Jan 01, 2024 10:30 pmYou can see his foot is knocked sideways by almost the whole forearm of the keeper, as the same the next step is taking place because of his momentum.

And if hes running at 18mph at that point I'll plait sawdust
Re: Today’s Football
I think as well as golden boot and golden gloves of the season the media should have a table showing the teams and the players with the most contentitious penalties they’ve won over a season,it will probably very similar to the top six in the Premier League ,and also the official who’ve given the most contentious penalties is Attwell ,Jones,Tierney.
Re: Today’s Football
If my maths are correct 100yd sprinters run at about 20 mph ,there’s no way he’s running that fast.

Another blatant dive, not called out and punished by the completely incapable officials. All that technology to help them and they're still choosing to ruin the game by endorsing cheating.

Re: Today’s Football
It’s a quite clear dive. The second angle is the giveaway - his facial expression is unchanged by the keeper’s forearm, he carries on for a brief moment, then flings himself to the ground.CombatClaret wrote: ↑Mon Jan 01, 2024 10:30 pmYou can see his foot is knocked sideways by almost the whole forearm of the keeper, as the same the next step is taking place because of his momentum.

Re: Today’s Football
1) was contact and a penalty… just no. Minimal if any contact. He choose to go down, you need to be brought down.DAVETHEVICAR wrote: ↑Mon Jan 01, 2024 10:02 pmWas contact and a penalty
If no contact he would have put the ball in net which he could have done anyway
2) if no contact he would’ve put the ball in the net… just no. He pushed the ball to far, therefore wasn’t in control anymore. Hence his decision after another couple of steps.. to go down and see what would happen.

Re: Today’s Football
Listening to Beglin's co-commentary just highlighted everything that was wrong with Jota's dive. 'Because the ball went a bit further than intended, he then used the opportunity to hit the ground'.
There was a visible gap when you could see he was making his mind up. The stupid thing is, he could have just as easily scored.

Re: Today’s Football
Not mentioned above is that although these players are "running at speed", they still manage to dangle a leg out to make sure that there is contact there before throwing themselves on the floor.
VAR + offside =irritating.
VAR + diving for penalties = ruining the game.
It's about time that somebody with some degree of authority made a bit of a stand. If they say too much after the game then they end up on a disrepute charge, but managers go to games not involving their own teams, so they can see what is happening as an (almost) neutral, and the product is being damaged for the likes of sky.
