But when we won 4-0 at Swansea in early 2018 Danny Murphy wanted to know why none of the Swansea players "had left something on" our lads. Where are the yellow cards? he wanted to know. He didn't advocate kicking opponents but why hadn't they kicked us?

They demand leg breakers on us but cry about tactical fouling ruining football when we do it

Those two incidents were far from similar. The interpretation change following the Rodri incident dealt specifically with a player coming back from an offside position and “immediately impacts on an opponent who has deliberately played the ball”supposedly safe in the knowledge that he was offside and couldn’t challenge him.

Courtinho never challenged a City player. He simply received a pass in an onside position, having come back from an offside position. That has never been offside under any interpretations.

Let’s be honest that without the media outcry which would not have occurred had it been scored against us, the rules would have changed.

How would it stop diving? You’ve just guaranteed a goal not even a pen.

If a player is tripped in the box he gets a direct free kick from the place he's tripped. Given that he's not getting a free shot at goal penalty then a player is much less likely to just dive to the ground at the 1st hint of a contact as the reward is not so great.

A goal would only ever be awarded if the foul stopped a CERTAIN goal, i.e. the ball about to be kicked into an empty goal when the attacking player is fouled. Any other legitimate foul that was not a certain goal is a direct free kick.

See Sly are being snidey little weasels again, Bigging up Haaland and then the next headline “which team is under the most pressure to win the champs league” with Erl in the photo. They know what they’re doing.

To be fair I don’t have an issue with that.

As you say they are bigging up EH and as many have said on here that we need to win the CL to get that monkey off our back.

After many years of domestic success, yes it can be easily debated that we are under pressure to win it.

I like how media rats are finally being shown up for hypocrisy about who you can take money off.

Maybe we should have a list of all our critics & then who pays them a quid & where it comes from.

Ok, fine. Use half the facts to suit the narrative you want to peddle.

Nothing less than the standard tosh from the fail.
