#7 | Raheem Sterling - 2020/21 Performances

[FantasyIreland]

It was an embarrassing collapse following minimal contact. If that were against us, we would be rightly livid.

Spot on pal,we have pages of vitriol dedicated towards opposition players for doing nothing different,so to give Raheen,just because he is one of our own,a free pass.....is bollocks.

It was a penalty you bunch of lunatics.

We have known for 5 years there are a group who dislike Sterling and will find any excuse to attack him.

3 weeks ago they slated him for not going down when Liverpool fouled him and it lead to their goal. Today he played brilliantly scored, won a penalty, won the clubs MOTM so they are going to attack him for going down too easily.

Next week they will complain that he is in a tv advert if they've got nothing else.

Who's saying it wasn't

The same couple of posters who have always had a problem with him seem to be doing their (your) best to have a go at him for winning it.

Going down easily is just a way to highlight you've been fouled. Our players should do it more often tbh

I said his collapse from such mimal contact was embarrassing. Which bit do you disagree with?

A bit rich accusing Sterling of diving , he actually doesnt get half the penalties he should because most of the time he tries to stay on his feet , he was chopped down at Spurs and they went down the pitch and scored , against Porto he had a nailed on penalty refused. In comparison Mane and Salah are a disgrace they could fall over a feather do a triple somersault and scream like a banshee , they are the real cheats of the game with their theatrical actions.

True,doesn't make it right though and neither is the hypocrisy.

The FA are at fault for allowing the culture to breed.

to be fair to him he has been shown that staying up gets him nothing. officals have shown they only call anything if you go down. This is all on the officials.

The bit you just said.
I won’t be going backwards and forwards with you.
He was fouled and rightly made the ref know he was fouled - everything else is just noise.
