The Michael Oliver Penalty Thread

Get used to it cos thats football in 2020. Fucking cheating diving pussies who are proud as fuck when they get their reward....a penalty.Same on the stream I was watching, he basically said that as his arm touched him that means he can go down and it's a penalty. He said you can't physically touch an attacker as if they then drop to the floor it's a penalty, it made no sense at all.

And players are deliberately playing for them , knowing there is a good chance that they will be given.
Gamesmanship or being cute ?
Our players just don't seem to want to do it, or more likely are afraid they will be carded for diving .
Micheal Oliver would probably card ours !

Unfortunately in today’s game any slight contact leaves you open to the possibility of conceding a pen,they were pens today but soft,especially the third one,why was there no mention of the sterling one when he went down,I think we know the reason for that..

Personally didn't think any of them were pens but new rules bullshit etc etc. The thing that annoyed me was that no City player complained or moaned about the decisions. If it were Candlepool or the Filth they would have been having a right go. Not that it would have made any difference to the decision but as a fan you want to see your players have more balls.

Our players have been conditioned into this by the appalling refereeing we've had to endure in recent seasons.And players are deliberately playing for them , knowing there is a good chance that they will be given.

We go down for the slightest contact; booked for diving. Complain to the referee; booked for decent. Manager speaks out; fined by the FA/PL.
We crashed their cartel and the PIGMOL stepped in. The cheats have done their job.
