Ashley Young's dive is good for City

[Beswick Prize Bands Big Drum]

Cant see Everton rolling over they have a chance of finishing above Liverpool for the first time in years, its the only thing they have left this season

Funny tweet on twitter from 'Mario Balotelli'

Ashley Young should be nominated for 'Fallon D'Floor'

In fairness to the BBC they do have one guy who speaks the truth. Alan Green on 5 Live 606 was calling Young a cheating, diving beggar tonight, and didn't pull his punches considering it was pre watershed. Said even if England benefit from it during the Euros he'd still let him have it on the commentary for being a cheating twat.

Some nob even phoned in saying we should just accept it and that it was 'just part of the game'. Well you sir, can fuck off.

the refs are bent, i've spoke to a few neautrals i know, who don't like utd or city but have watched the title race and they all seem to think that the refs are giving it them.

this includes a coventry fan, 2 chelsea fans, a spurs fan, a geordie and somebody who just tags along and doesn't support anyone but watches the sport quite a bit.

i didn't even put the thought it their heads, i just simply said "so lads, what do you think about youngs dive?". this was followed by them all agreeing "utd are just cheats, and it appears the refs are in on it".

halsey blew his cover today, i'm not talking about the penalty. i'm talking about when evra came together with a villa player, who cut his head open and was lay on the floor with a head injury. the rules state play must be stopped but the ref waved utd on whilst they were on the attack, ok he might not have seen the player down but why did he suddenly stop play when rooney lost the ball? and no before you say, he didn't turn round and notice the player he carried on watching utds attack until they lost it, then blew his whistle and checked what was going on.

fucking corrupt.

Cannot believe no ones mentioned the second goal !!!!!!!!!!!

4 defenders in a line the last one does a step over to let Welbeck in....

I looked at my son..he looked at at me..............we both said...this is as bent as it could be.

Sky Sports cancelled immediately

Chelsea's second goal is good for ashley young.

Helps to deflect the media attention

See what your saying mate, but even without that goal do you think Young would get the same media attention as for example Suarez?

Course not, hes england and united

Why do I keep seeing these topics refs are cheats and corrupt when it's the players who are cheating week in week out. Your sitting at home with birds eye view from every angle making these calls. The ref is there at ground level legs and bodies in the way and cheating footballers doing utmost to get players booked or sent off or dodgy penalties. There needs to be a programme on every weekend to highlight and shame players to stop this shit.

the TV normal view, was worse and further away than the refs view which was good.

as soon as it happened i jumped up shouting "book the ****", expecting that to take place when he gave it i let out a noise i've never made in my life, before slumping back into my chair laughing.

they're not even being subtle now, it's italy all over again.

Totally agree with the fact the refs only get one look in real time and have to make an instant decision, and aren't helped by the players with the win at all costs mentality. But you wonder even with the one look at it, how they come to the decisions they do. Tevez getting fouled and getting booked for a dive, today with Chelsea's 2nd goal against Spurs. These are incidents that are so glaringly obvious when the ref's have an unobstructed view, yet come to make these mind boggling decisions. And it seems to be happening all the time. Great idea about the programme.

Think the ref was conned by that scumbag Young, and would love to see someone give him a REAL reason to hit the deck, and STAY THERE the cheating ****.

did you miss Hutton sliding right through him?

This has become so blatant now that the media isn't even denying it. Look at this in the Express, some of the wording looks straight out of Bluemoon, proving that such thoughts aren't exclusive to us:

THEY will be striking an extra medal for referees if Manchester United go on to claim their 20th league title.

Certainly the dark arts of the game and the failure of referees to spot a dive are having a significant impact on United’s title progress.

For the third home game in succession they got the benefit of a controversial decision that will have had Manchester City and their followers raging at their TV screens – again.

First, there was Michael Carrick’s late trip on Danny Murphy that should have earned Fulham a stonewall penalty and a point – only for referee Michael Oliver to rule it out.

Then came United’s early penalty against QPR when Ashley Young – in an offside position – went over under the slightest of touches from Shaun Derry, whose frustration was compounded by a red card from Lee Mason.

Yesterday Young found himself in the eye of the storm again for an even more outrageous dive to win another early spot-kick.

He threw out his left leg to make sure he made contact with Ciaran Clark, then twisted his body into a dive that, yes, Tom Daley would have been proud of.

Referee Mark Halsey bought it but when he sees the replay he will know he should have booked Young for simulation and awarded a free-kick to Aston Villa.

When Young sees it he will surely just be as embarrassed. He is not alone.

The infuriating thing is nothing can be done about it and nothing will be done. Next season will 100% definitely be the same. More and more and more dodgy decisions going their way, more than any other team, points gifted to them making it harder for anyone else to win the league on merit.
