shade Posted 18 March 2015 Posted 18 March 2015 Welcome to Morden football, love to see these drama queens on a rugby pitch. what's morden football? sounds like something from Lord of the rings.
Domsdad Posted 18 March 2015 Posted 18 March 2015 We're one of the most honest teams in the league. Literally every team cheats. We do every now and then but hardly ever compared to most. I think we have been naive this season. As soon as a team gets in front against us they go down at the slightest challenge just to waste time, look at the games v Newcastle, Stoke, West Brom et al! It looked to me on Saturday that we were trying to do what everyone else does and it was embarrassing!
TheUltimateWinner Posted 18 March 2015 Posted 18 March 2015 We've been too honest and lost points because of it. I think its disgusting that players can roll around like they've been shot and gain from it, but the FA are too careless and not proactive enough to cut this out. It's about time we start doing it, I don't care about integrity anymore.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 18 March 2015 Posted 18 March 2015 Huddlestone got a second yellow but imo he didn't foul Vardy. Clear dive by our man and got an opposition player sent off. Explain that.
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 18 March 2015 Posted 18 March 2015 Compare us to most teams in the Premier League then yeah, we're much better in terms of honesty, and I know it's the done thing nowadays, but I don't want to see any of our players diving around and/or trying to get players sent off.
st albans fox Posted 18 March 2015 Posted 18 March 2015 If you don't mind me saying, the thread is a bit of a throwback to the days of Jeff blockley and perhaps john sjoberg. The game has moved on. On Saturday, we showed glimpses of realising this.
Rich Fox Posted 18 March 2015 Author Posted 18 March 2015 Hull City are facing punishment for failing to control their players against Leicester City after receiving a Football Association charge. The Football Association (FA) has charged Hull City with failing to control their players during an incident in Saturday's 0-0 draw at Leicester City. The flashpoint took place in the 68th minute of the Premier League contest at the King Power Stadium. Referee Jon Moss booked Alex Bruce for a strongchallenge on Riyad Mahrez, much to the chagrin of the visiting players, who voiced their disapproval towards the official. A statement from the FA read: "Hull City have been charged by The FA for failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion. "The allegation relates to an incident which occurred in or around the 68th minute of their fixture against Leicester City on 14 March 2015." Hull have until March 23 to respond to the charge.

shailen Posted 18 March 2015 Posted 18 March 2015 When the pressure is on to get a result, and the Hull game was huge pressure, then a team will do anything to win. Call it cheating, diving whatever. If we were one or two up after 30 mins, it would have been a different story. The pressure gets to players especially with the crowd on your back and they try anything in desperation to get a goal. It's not right, but it is a natural thing to do in such situations. If anything this season, we have been guilty of being too nice and naive. We are not a dirty team and even our performance against Hull wasn't dirty, but a natural reaction to such circumstances
Dan Posted 18 March 2015 Posted 18 March 2015 I think we have been naive this season. As soon as a team gets in front against us they go down at the slightest challenge just to waste time, look at the games v Newcastle, Stoke, West Brom et al! It looked to me on Saturday that we were trying to do what everyone else does and it was embarrassing! I agree. Is it naive or is it commendable? We've been too honest and lost points because of it. I think its disgusting that players can roll around like they've been shot and gain from it, but the FA are too careless and not proactive enough to cut this out. It's about time we start doing it, I don't care about integrity anymore. I want to be able to but you're conning no-one but yourselves if you don't. It's a disgrace that it's come to this. Huddlestone got a second yellow but imo he didn't foul Vardy. Clear dive by our man and got an opposition player sent off. Explain that. Thought Moss was up there with the most biased referee in our favour we've had this season.

One Legged Beaver Posted 18 March 2015 Posted 18 March 2015 I don't like seeing us cheat, but quite frankly it's the only way to get anything off the incompetent refs in this league
Ashley Posted 18 March 2015 Posted 18 March 2015 Can anyone blame them for being annoyed? Annoyed, why? They've been fined for Bruce tackle which was double footed hence the booking. Regardless if he got the ball or not you can not go in double footed like he did. Foul all day long.
sylofox Posted 18 March 2015 Posted 18 March 2015 All that matters now are the 3pts. If players take a dive and we win I don't give a fvck. Others do it or are we going on a crusade to stop it.

Regardless if he got the ball or not you can not go in double footed like he did. Foul all d Have a look at it again or someone post it on here as it was a perfectly good tackle, and it really pains me to say it as I really do not like Hull one bit.
Monsell1976 Posted 18 March 2015 Posted 18 March 2015 what's morden football? sounds like something from Lord of the rings. using iPhones , I shall change that modern
fleckneymike Posted 18 March 2015 Posted 18 March 2015 I know we are desperate for points but against Hull I was appalled by some of our cheating tactics. The worse being Mahrez going down like he has been shot after Bruces tackle took the the ball, the worse thing was his delayed roll when he went over about 15 times. I watched it live and was disgusted as it was obvious from my angle it was a good tackle and couldn't believe the fuss our players made to try and get Bruce sent off, wish they had made same effort into trying to get the ball. Was surprised match of the day didn't make more of it but on match choice on sky it was flagged up. There were other incidents like Vardy going down far to easily. We've been trying to win? Looks like I've had this season all wrong.
GingerrrFox Posted 18 March 2015 Posted 18 March 2015 Have a look at it again or someone post it on here as it was a perfectly good tackle, and it really pains me to say it as I really do not like Hull one bit. It wasn't a perfectly good tackle. The letter of the law says you can't go 2 footed into a tackle with your studs showing. The referee followed the rules clearly and was right to award a free kick. It was a reckless challenge and technically should have been a red card.

Rich today's game is a different one a shame I know but it was a booking and as Ginge has said. Technically a red card.
iancognito Posted 19 March 2015 Posted 19 March 2015 After the penalties that weren't given against Man City (Kramaric) Tottenham home (Vardy) and Tottenham away (Kramaric) we're almost having to get at the refs to tell them to buck their ideas up. I don't want to see players surrounding refs but it's almost as if they won't give it without a reaction. Yes they need technology but they also need a backbone. Also, massive IF, we stayed up and it was because of a decision where we'd surrounded the ref or a player went down 'easily' would you be as bothered? To be honest, we're small fish in all this, there's others doing it far more often and none of them are in as bad a position as us.
Rich Fox Posted 19 March 2015 Author Posted 19 March 2015 Basically what I was trying to say, thanks Ginge. Rich today's game is a different one a shame I know but it was a booking and as Ginge has said. Technically a red card. It was not a 2 footed tackle Bruce had one foot on the floor when he made the tackle. They commented on match choice that he had one foot on the floor and even said nothing wrong with it. It just confirmed what I seen live fromy angle you could tell it was a good legal tackle Wish someone would post a video up on here not a still shot and it would prove my case I dislike Hull more than most and would love to have won believe me but not like this
dannythefox Posted 19 March 2015 Posted 19 March 2015 I'd take someone diving for a peno to keep us up, every team does it!
Rich Fox Posted 19 March 2015 Author Posted 19 March 2015 I'd take someone diving for a peno to keep us up, every team does it! The big clubs get away with it but we probably won't get another decision all season now after this.
ozvaldo Posted 19 March 2015 Posted 19 March 2015 If Vardy won a penalty and we won 1-0, you wouldn't care. None of us would. We're desperate for 3 points. All the teams do it. Everyone knows that.

Everyone knows that. I agree but if we get a stone wall penalty now we probably won't get it because we have started diving
