You can’t legislate for goalie F-ups but I’m not going to lambast Alisson. Even the very best have one of those days and his are VERY few and far between.
S happens.I said after Brighton we needed to readjust our expectations slightly to 2nd whilst still not giving up on the league. Now we defo are ONLY playing for 2nd.
Congratulations Manchester City. Your PL Champions for 2020/2021 in all but official confirmation.

Now I know why Utd fans complain about Roy and his hot takes. He is still entertaining af though when he isn't spouting nonsense about your team.

Where was the diving again?
Both penalty’s were clear penalty’s. Can’t remember any other real controversial incidents. Something else in the game I missed?

This is a penalty?
How about this? I think it should be red card for City's #11.

The second one is bad diving yes.This is a penalty?

But regarding the penalty, striker must do it, he was evidently pulled and soft foul. But if he won go down there wont be foul called for sure. Refs and rules have brought this on us. If you dont go down, then probably there was no foul (does not matter how much contact there was).
Diving should be punished more. It is just so seeable, but as there is contact then VAR must say it is a foul...

You do understand the rules of the game right?
Foul someone. Get punished. Don't want to get punished? Don't put your hands on your opponent.
1. I thought this is football, like contact game. But then again, OK I can give you that one, even though it IS a dive.
2. I'm gonna quote you on this one when you moan about United next time

Feel free. As I've been consistent in the exact same. And argued against dialkh and others in here when L'pool players put their hands on someone and it's deemed 'soft.' Going right back when Lovren put his hands on the bitters back the Derby and I was the only one not defending him. There's NO such thing as a soft penalty. That's fan/ media bunkum. A fouls a foul.
So as smart as you think you're being, you sadly aren't.

Just curious what was your thought on Martial "penalty" in SOU game?1. I thought this is football, like contact game. But then again, OK I can give you that one, even though it IS a dive.

Mate, you're funny.
When you understand the difference between a blatant dive with no contact to cheat and decieve; and a dive after blatant contact, the second of which negates the first spurious argument in today's game as when players are legit fouled and don't go down, they don't get jack, come back to me.
Until then, feel free to chat utter wham on the wrong targets.
One of the PL's most consistent ever goal scorers would rather go down when clean through than get his shot off ..... What a strange take to try push.

Martial initialized contact IMO. Also you want you can scroll through United thread to see what I think about Martial's diving.
So every contact is a foul?
"One of the PL's most consistent ever goal scorers would rather go down when clean through than get his shot off ..... What a strange take to try push."
Funny, because thats EXACTLY what happened vs City. Diaz put his hand on Salah arm and Salah lost his legs. He was clear on goal, 1 v 1 situation on his stronger left foot and he decided that Diaz tickling his arm is enough for him to go down like soldiers in WW when hit with grenade.

That you don't realise the contradictions in your bizarre attack on players being legit impeded/ fouled/ however you want to term it, is making this funnier.
You've been impeded ..... but woe betide you if you go down from that. Forget the foul. That's a dive. A dive I say!

The bolded there ..... You've just gone to explain that with the underlined.
Fulham comes instantly to mind. Mo get's shoved in the back for a clear foul in the build-up to Fulham's goal. They never even checked it on the VAR review. Costly 2 points from poor officiating. There again, he gets hands in his back from the City player when he's in the air. Clear foul. Regardless of how dramatically or not he's deemed to have fallen. But if he doesn't 'sell it' , he probably doesn't get it again. But because he does fall dramatically, you get this utter nonsense of people completely ignoring the foul and running with the 'diving' B/S.
There's no difference in the point you make for either mate. A foul is a foul. (And 'soft' doesn't come into it. For the penalty, you run at full speed and have your arm tugged and see how that impedes you? Or you can look at the slowed-down version and say it's 'soft', ignore the impediment, and scream 'DIVE!'). The officials have brought this around by not consistently calling them no matter how many times they occur. The players are now in a 'damned if they do, damned if they don't' situation.
To attack the players (unless they have dived with NO contact to try to deceive the officials/ initiated contact themselves that was never there), is to attack the COMPLETELY wrong part in all this. The part that has brought around players having to sell legit foul play against them to make sure it's punished.
