Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,673 Posted November 21, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted November 21, 2021 Jammy but this is what happens when it's wave after wave. We are so average and I know this is what you expect from City but it still grates to see your team taking part in what amounts to a glorified training session. Absolutely miles away.

Administrator Stan 18,412 Posted November 21, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted November 21, 2021 Just seen the Sterling dive. Shameful. Not surprised Man City won. Also not surprised a VAR ref didn't have the bollocks to overturn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you're referring to the Sterling incident though. A penalty was given initially and they overturned that decision with VAR so they did show some bollocks there.

Oops yep, was referring to that. I thought it was given. Shows how much attention I paid when reading this thread . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,407 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Refrees need to start handing out more yellow cards for diving. The fact players think they can still get away with it with VAR is shameful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's one of those nonsense technicalities like not being able to appeal a red card if it was two yellows because you can't appeal a yellow card.

Devil-Dick Willie 3,256 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Your friendly reminder that that is the EXACT type of dive Sterling used to catapult you lot to a win over Denmark. Diving cunt in blue, "just enough contact" in white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact players think they can still get away with it with VAR is shameful. They can though. That's precisely the problem. They introduced something 2/3 years ago for players getting retrospective bans for diving, they banned I think two players (I want to say one of them was Lanzini) and then just stopped doing it. The authorities have absolutely zero convinction in anything they do officiating wise. It's got to be some kind of directive from within the game for them to go soft on it. Something isn't right in this department and hasn't been for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,673 Posted November 22, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted November 22, 2021 Yeah it was Lanzini and Niasse for not even the worst dives on show those weekends. And it never made sense because if you dived and the referee saw it you got a yellow in the game and that was it but if you dived and fooled the referee but it was called out retrospectively it was a two match ban.
