What the defender did was not a foul. You know it, all my football fan mates (not all city) know it, its just a shame that those in charge cant admit it wasnt a foul.
If you have played football before, which I doubt you have after your reply, then you know that wasnt a foul.
The only cheat in this instance is Salah.
You have not read my posts. Do it, and you will see we are 100% in agreement.
My whole point, from the beginning, is that it doesn't matter that there is contact. It is just as much of a dive as the Rooney penalty, that he was penalised for.
"I am a defender, so my view is that both are cheating. Both are situations where you can stand up, nothing wrong has been done by the defender and yet the attacker decides to try and fool the referee."
I have read your posts, where is the defender cheating? He laid a hand on Salah who dived, only one person cheated. If every player who was touched like that then there would be a free kick etc every minute. You cannot defend this, pure blatant cheating.
I wouldn't mind one fuckin' jot with Salah getting yesterday's pen if the Whistling Wankers award a pen every single time for a defender placing a hand on an attacker or putting an arm round an attacker. EFC got a pen yesterday for a handball. In the same incident an EFC player had the shirt ripped off him. Had Agent Mee not stuck up his hand would Michael The Bottler have given the pen for grabbing and ripping off an attacker's shirt? I think not. Unless, of course, it's Micah and Phil Dowd!
13 stone? With that hair and scraggy beard? On the occasional wet day we get in this part of the world (!), he'd be nearer to 15 stones!Why is that wrestling move on the Soton player not turned into a pen, when the waft of a paper towel sends a thirteen stone Dipper tumbling
