[Football] Bruno Fernandes - cheat

[LamieRobertson]

In a post match interview recently One of the young Utd players said what a role model he was ….hmmmm

 

[LamieRobertson]

Genuinely can't throw any stones on this thread all the time Goodnight plays for us.

That said Goodnight was much better yesterday.
If he's been spoken too and that's the 'new me', then I'll have 2 flat stones and a bag of gravel.

Yes we’ve all seen it from him….although imo he is getting ‘better’…maybe the influence of some of the older pros like Milner? …..though we are comparing a young player with an established international and more importantly a Captain

 

[Mr Bridger]

Has his own personal sniper.

I think someone in the crowd had an air gun.

We're comparing a cheat with a cheat.

We're comparing a cheat with a cheat.

….and I’ve stated other angles to look at it….still clearly you are on a mission as per normal…so carry on

Excuse my ignorance but who is Goodnight and why the nickname?

Yes there are other angles but both act identically when in the exact same situation.

Sure Goodnight can change and hopefully yesterday's performance is the start while of course Fernandez never will.

But the bottom line really has to be 'get your own house in order before pointing fingers'.

T'is the translation of Bouonanotte.

I think we are mainly in agreement….and personally I have seen an improvement in the player in all areas (including going over too easily) as he matures…still a way to go

I’m wondering how you think we NSC can get ‘our own house in order’ ….turn up for training (just teasing you)

Good to read that everyone is using 'cheating' rather than 'simulation'.

Calling it for what it is.

We were going nuts at Groß when he was clearly toying with the idea of kicking the ball out, because an Everton player was 'injured'.

Imagine us reacting the same way because one of our own was rolling around.

Ain't gonna happen as 'they all cheat' while 'we're always fouled'.

I think I'm too evenhanded to be a Sky sports/VAR era football fan.

Will probably get pulled soon but look at the STATE of this...

First 10 seconds looks like a break or ACL.

A bit disingenuous isn’t it? - Buonanotte may be a drama queen at times and can have legs of straw when he is tackled but that is largely in part to his age and lack of strength - he’s still on a learning curve here but he certainly doesn’t deliberately deep dive after being barely touched, he usually goes down after being fouled (sometimes quite heavily) - and he attracts defenders like bees to honey because of his position so has to cope with repeatedly being crowded every time he dribbles forward - I think that is different to Fernandes who is an unqualified cheat, master of the dark arts with timing and deceit - same can be said for Ronaldo, Neymar, Suarez and a few others we all could mention..

Mitoma certainly dived a fair bit in his first season - playing for a penalty when he realised he’d dribbled himself into a tight spot with no way out or waving for a yellow card when he went down. Veltman isn’t entirely above suspicion here either. RDZ probably put an end to that as he is probably doing with Buonanotte‘s lengthy ‘injury’ episodes. We don’t have the sort of manager that would tolerate the dark arts in response to us being behind in a game - his response would be ‘attack more’. Diving is a very defensive and reactionary tactic.

That's a f***ing disgrace. The defender didn't even stretch his leg out to block the shot. Players should get suspended for antics like that.

Refs should be made to watch this.

 

[Zeberdi]

It‘s for people that can’t spell ‘Buonanotte’

T'is the translation of Bouonanotte.

Not sure we can talk with some of Pedro, Bounatte or Enciso tactics

You’d think after him being in the squad for 12 months people could actually spell his name right.

 

[Triggaaar]

Could someone post the worst example of Buonanotte cheating please, because I've never noticed him doing anything as bad as tosspot yesterday.

I’m sorry but I’m not as cynical ….and I’ll call it for what it is …..and I don’t like any of our players going down regularly…may get it wrong sometimes …I’ll stand by Fernandez being in a different league to a player who’s still in his infancy (yes it’s still wrong)….re the Everton player ‘injured’ not sure what point you are trying to make here…that was the lump at the back ..who clearly was able to play on and yet the ref blew up despite us being in an advantageous position which we subsequently lost ….an example of the ball being kicked out by Gross in good sportsmanship was the last home game..I’d applaud that

I was going to say the same that said he also has received a lot of kicks/rough treatment in various games which have gone unpunished.
