Awful penalty decisions for City and United

[Seagull58]

The Boro defender didn't even tackle him. Just stood there and watched him throw himself over his leg.
Rashford dragged his leg across to the keeper and then dived.
That's what I saw but does anyone disagree?
When are we getting video replay decisions and retrospective bans for diving?

No idea watching Everton v Chelsea

Horrible dive for City.
Absolutely hate diving/cheating.

They should go to the video replay immediately before a decision is made.
Send off the diver, stamp cheating out of the game.

Still not all bad, as it stands City must get a result next week.

Even ex ManUre players have stated today that Rashford definitely dived. It will get barely a mention because he's English. When/if Pires, Suarez or Zlatan did this, big (xenophobic bias) news.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Oh well

Swansea would have won if it wasn't for the cheating dive. those 2 points lost might be the difference

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Didn't see the Rashford incident, but obviously the boro player 'thought' about tackling him so it's a penalty as far as I'm concerned.....plus the boro player should have been sent off for just for being near him. Right, that's the games mixed up...didn't have time to watch them as I was packing for my holiday to Corfu

All the diving and blatant cheating is the one thing i am not looking forward to in the Premier League next season

All of those highly paid players who are supposed to be the most skillful and therefore some of the best players on the planet to watch (I don't watch MotD, so am guessing given most of their salaries) yet they don't try to use their skills to win games but instead resort to cheating simply because there is so much money at stake and they have to get any extra advantage they can

As goal line tech is finally being rolled out, hopefully video refs are next

To think posters want to offload Skalak.

The only Albion player capable of Greg Louganising it with the big boys.

 

[GT49er]

Best be prepared for a whole raft of those going against us next season then, when playing against the 'Big' teams that are in the PL by right, and need to be given due advantage against jumped up JCLs..............

Are you having a laugh?
Murray, Hemed and Knockaert are right up there with the worst divers around.

Better get used to it , diving and crap decisions happens every week in the premier

It's one thing throwing yourself to the floor with every bone your body snapped like twigs.
(as we all turn a blind eye)
Only a Premier League Mexican Cliff Diver like Jiri gets every decision.
