What? You do understand the laws do you?
I dont cos they never are consistent/applied
Is it the deception of an official bit?

So we can't judge that to be a dive then? Ok whoever is in the studio, who isn't a BHA supporter also said it was a dive. Good enough?
Given he already plays for Nigeria it would be somewhat difficult...
Oh, the voice of reason...BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!Because we see it time and time again: football fans are largely incapable of judging without bias.
It's why nearly all Albion fans thought Dale Stephens should not have been sent off, but nearly everyone else though a red was right.
It's why nearly all Albion fans thought Hemed was treated unjustly, but a fair percentage of other fans thought it as the right decision.
I'm saying that if that was Knockaert most of us would have a different view: "there was some slight contact, he was running fast and off balance" etc.
Ivory Coast.
But he has played twice for England. I didn’t realise he’d switched allegiances (or that the rules had changed to allow it).
Very much this. If he stays, they have a much better chance of avoiding the drop.

For a dive of that magnitude? No, definitely not. We'd be embarrassed.
Yes. Still conned the Ref. It won’t be looked at though - there is contact.
But the ref saw it, thought it was a pen so no chance of a ban.
But if that was one of our players, we absolutely would be pointing to Sterling's arm, saying there was a nudge that put Zaha off balance.
Well there have been a couple of instances where refs saw it, gave penalties and players were charged.But the ref saw it, thought it was a pen so no chance of a ban.
Amen brother.
I don't understand how 'we' can be outraged when Murray did exactly the same to 'win' his penalty v Burnley.
You were desperate for that, get you out of the hole you dug. As I said, we would be discussing whether Knocky got a retro ban for it right now.
