That’s disgraceful from Bruno Fernandes. You’re playing League One opposition and you feel the need to dive like that. As for Taylor, you’ve got the perfect position to see that and book him for the dive - embarrassing

The depressing thing is that VAR would have backed the decision.

 

Fernandes dived.  Terrible, but not unexpected from him.

Anyone who says it's a pen because there was a touch sums up football. It's the mindset that going down rather than shooting that pisses me off the most. Then holding the shin.

It’s this type of reporting that gets me and confuses the issue. Just because there is contact doesn’t make it a foul. There is not enough in it to bring him down, it’s not a free kick anywhere else on the pitch. Call it what it is  - cheating

As there was “contact” VAR would have probably not over ruled it either.

Cheating against League One lads that played and fought cleanly for 75min. Fernandes is a disgrace to the sport. 

So is the entire panel of PL referees.  I'm always pleased when we get a newbie ref who's done very few PL matches, because they haven't learned the "fall over is a foul" rules properly.

 

All PL refs would give that, and so would the VAR refs.  That's the real scandal.  I wonder if it would help if referees were sent a memo telling them that footballers are not scrupulously honest and that they will willingly cheat to gain an advantage.

 

It's a scummy sport, frankly.  If a cricketer claims a catch when it was on the bounce, do they say "he had to do it"?  If a poker player hides an ace up his sleeve, do they say "good game management?  If a snooker player shifts the ball to get an easier shot, do they admire him for cunning and astuteness?  Of course not.  It's only in football that cheating is admired and seen as a valid tactic.  But if referees are under orders to give wrong decisions to enable more goals (to make up for the offside goals that are being disallowed), then the people giving those orders (the PGMOL) are utter buffoons.  They need to be sacked, every man jack.  (And woman jill, for that matter.)

I think a lot of players would have gone down in the same situation - as you say because they would know a foul would be given which is kind of the problem.

 

They get rewarded for sportsmanship or conning others.

This only really counts for players who are used to playing with VAR, i.e. PL players. Lot less of it at lower levels.

Even Roy Keane said it was a penalty as well. What hope is there. It's mad how brainwashed people have become.

Sunday 11:45am :doh:

Guess it’s potentially a Derby match so would be early although that seems extreme .

Fulham v Newcastle can **** right off

Would have thought Chelsea v Villa might be picked ahead of that.

Surprised neither didnt go for Chelsea v Villa over Maidstone given previous history of tv picks.

 

ITV1 gambling on Wolves winning the 3rd round replay, West Brom v Brentford doesnt exactly have the same wow factor to state the extremely obvious.
