Was there a Palace player a couple of seasons ago who won a penalty from a dive, and received a post-match ban for deceiving the officials ? I have a vague recollection of that. But that is very much the exception to the rule. Players routinely get away with murder with no recourse.
Sorry, have I missed something ? Were you at the game yesterday, or at Villa / Forest ??
I'd truly love to see all the examples of retrospective action being taken on the divers. "Essentially eradicated it" ? Bloody hell. In my dreams.
Usually yes, it would with me.
Previously I had KODI which, to be honest, was utter cack. The streams were woeful, it was a major pain in the arse to find a decent one. IPTV has changed that, so more often than not I'll be in front of it watching the game. But when the sun is blazing, I'm quite...
Maybe he likes to "do things" whilst listening to the radio commentary, rather than be sat in front of a stream ? Plenty of times I've happily pottered around in the garden getting jobs done whilst listening to Johnny and Warren. Admittedly this is normally the bookmarks of the season when the...
But it had the desired effect. Every time we got up a head of steam and got into our rhythm with a sustained bit of pressure, it was the cue for some Fulham herbert to go down holding his head or face, pretending to be in their death throes. It was a clear deliberate tactic to break up any flow...
My take exactly.
If I had taken an autistic child to a game and he was next to me shouting vile racist abuse about blackies, and RAPE threats, then we would be back on the concourse for a little chat about it PDQ. Hopefully we could then go back and watch the game, but if it continued - nah...
Sorry but that solves nothing. The whole POINT of timewasting is not to run the clock down. Its to disrupt the game, break it up, disrupt the flow. When teams like Fulham / Villa / Forest are up against a superior opponent, their best opportunity of getting a result is to play-act. Destroy the...
I'd be quite interested to see you bring up an example of a specific game where several of our players have gone down with a "head injury", which resulted in bringing the medics staff on.
Actually no, I don't. I never wanted it in the first place, because it was obvious it was going to be the thin end of a very big, shitty wedge. When I come to power it will be binned IMMEDIATELY, so we can get our game back.
If a player goes down holding his face or head, then he goes off for a MANDATORY 5 minutes to be assessed. Or they can sub him straight away.
This goonery getting the game constantly stopped for the face-clutchers has to stop.
£50 a year for IPTV. I get more than my monies worth inside a month with that, its superb. All the football, all the Albion games, all the PPV boxing events, plus Apple, Disney+, filth etc etc and a library of about 6,500 films including the latest ones, some still on at the cinema. All in HD...
