villanmac Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Good lad - take the dive. Everyone labels him a diver anyway when he's kicked - see the first half last night. Get them booked and if the ref isn't sticking them in the book, stick them in the book for him. Teams want to single him out for special treatment with cynical fouls and then get all up in arms when he goes down. They can't have it both ways. Brighton were doing it last week and i liked that he got Lamptey sent off for one then too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The yellow was harsh but since they were reviewing it as a potential red card offence they aren't allowed to remove the card entirely without saying it was a dive. Yes he reaction wa s delayed but he was trying to play the ball and he is justified on going down because he was fouled and refs don't give anything else.

ChrisVillan Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Not good, the dive. It hasn't been a habit for as long as you'd think if you just listened to fans of teams he tore apart in the Championship, but it's in danger of becoming one. But the kick is snide as ****. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) Yeah Grealish milked it for sure but it was a clear foul after the ball had gone! West Ham were dirty last night and Grealish was making sure everyone knew about it. Apparently there were fireworks on the touchline as a few of their backroom staff were calling Grealish a diver and Smith gave them an earful.

They're up in arms because they were the opposition fans most obsessed with Grealish for 18 months and now every man and his dog is talking about him. They need to edit fouls out of videos of him getting fouled so Senpai will still notice them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't Grealish already given away a free kick before this happened? Pretty sure the whistle had already gone so this whole incident is afters.

There's a new "School for Grealish Theatrics" thread on waccoe, 7 pages in 12 hours There is no doubt he is a good player but this stuff can never be defended.

sharkyvilla Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I know it's almost written in stone that if you stay on your feet then it doesn't get given but that did take the piss last night. I'd be giving pelters to an opposition player that did that. Anyway what a performance that was, he is incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not got a twitter account & don't want one. Bamford dives once or twice every 5? 10? games. Mr grealish is doing 5 or more every game.

But you can only point out the odd cheat in many games from those players. All wrong though & mostly those games get booked for cheating, rightly so. I don't understand why var isn't used to stop this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
