Popular Post DennisNedry Posted 27 September 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 27 September 2020 Obviously buzzing and ecstatic today after a tremendous win so this isn't a moan at all (especially as it contributed to 3 points)... ...but the 1st and 3rd penalties were pretty bad dives, Maddison's especially. I'd be fuming if it was given against us. Fully aware it's part and parcel of the modern game (unfortunately) but it still makes me cringe watching players manufacture 'contact' then throwing themselves to the ground.

Not a dive, it's how the modern game is 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus Fox Posted 27 September 2020 Share Posted 27 September 2020 Never, look at the reaction of Walker and Mendy after the challenges they both knew. All three penalties today were as stone wall as you get! Cant believe anyone would think any were dives. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, up the City I'm going to be honest, they were all penalties. However, if the ref doesn't give them, VAR wouldn't have overturned the decision.

HybridFox Posted 27 September 2020 Share Posted 27 September 2020 Had plenty of those penalties against us last season. What goes around comes around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facecloth Posted 27 September 2020 Share Posted 27 September 2020 They aren't dives. You could argue the maddison one isn't enough to actually bring him down, but he is impeded and if he doesn't go down he gets nothing, and most likely that chance to score goes too. Its a foul whether maddison falls or not, but there's only one way its being given as one. He'd do the same in thr centre circle and you wouldn't be bothered.

Fox92 Posted 27 September 2020 Share Posted 27 September 2020 Don't give a fvck. Big clubs do it. Sterling goes down all time. Plus they aren't dives, they're all clear pens. It's shit defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwl fox Posted 27 September 2020 Share Posted 27 September 2020 Not even any suggestion from anyone in commentary or the studio that there was any doubt about any of them being penalties, not got a clue what you were watching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Russell Posted 27 September 2020 Share Posted 27 September 2020 Getting your body in front of the defender and drawing a foul is not a dive. If Man City want to be furious with anyone they should be furious with their defenders who were positionally slack and careless in committing to the challenges. I would have zero complaints if they were given against us. All of them were correct decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
