davieG Posted 16 April 2012 Posted 16 April 2012 ...and we'd be on the receiving end of these blatantly biased/incompetent/lilly livered decisions if and when we ever get back in there.
Number 6 Posted 16 April 2012 Posted 16 April 2012 Worst thing about the QPR one is that, even though the damage had been done, Derry's red card was not overturned. Absolute shocker of a decision. We seem to have got to the stage where any contact now is deemed a fowl. Think football has forgotten that it should be an entertainment business, not a results business. Money has poisened it.
James. Posted 16 April 2012 Posted 16 April 2012 It's arguably worse when it's an English player doing it. If I remember something I read years ago correctly in South America diving is almost a cultural thing - the art of deception is something to be encouraged and applauded, very much in the "spirit" of the game. Over here however it's always been frowned upon and considered cheating. I absolutely hate any diving, it's probably top of the list of reasons to hate football, but whereas to a certain extent it's engrained in the football of Suarez, Young has no excuses whatsoever.

Super_horns Posted 16 April 2012 Posted 16 April 2012 This isn't a new thing...I remember him doing a dive or two for us! Think one was against you guys and we scored from the resulting free-kick.
acooling08 Posted 16 April 2012 Posted 16 April 2012 Surely it will work against him now. Any ref will be dying to give him a yellow card for diving in the future surely?
Rand94 Posted 16 April 2012 Posted 16 April 2012 this is a reason why i dont want united to win the league, but then again i dont man city either. come on newcastle PAPA!
