Why do players get licence to fake injury so much? 

 

Guimaraes obviously rolls back on to the pitch, gets picked up and suddenly all that pain has gone...

It's the main absurdity of the game , pantomime stuff. The refs perpetuate it with their decisions - if diving resulted in cards every time instead of freekicks it'd be over immediately.

 

Players more adept at planning on how to fall to the floor safely than a stuntman. 

 

It'd need to be a worldwide movement to eradicate, but it's a part of the game. 

 

Rugby genuinely has the better officiating set up.

I don't particularly like Arsenal or their fans but some people need to concede they're very good, they haven't got themselves in this position by luck or fluke

As well, they can do it all. Grind it out. Dark arts. Get physical. Play decent football. Counter. Even coming through with a decent bit of strength in depth.

Artera complaining about the penalty Sunderland got saying it’s a bad decision for the game .

 

Presumably he would have said the same had it been in the other area ?

 

;)

He probably wouldn't and Thomas Frank said as much on MOTD, that if you get them you're happy. But its still a bad decision. Ballard pulls Konsa down, if anything its a free kick to Arsenal. Attackers are just going to start pulling defending onto them and falling to the ground every week to get penalties.

Back when I did some aikido (liked it but wasn't very good at it), Ballard's move was one I'd have been very proud of!
