maxxi Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I dunno Jah - AVB is after another striker or two in Jan isn't he? And Defoe wants regular games to make the England team...Young is looking more & more ridiculous every time he does this - at least it wasn't in an England shirt this time (and long may that continue) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35029-football-focus/page/28/#findComment-693591 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otta Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 At least the penalty was missed so the cheating came to nothing. But yeah, he's one of the worst divers I've seen for a long while.

Mick Mac Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 It's time for a complete review of the penalty rules (which of course will never happen as football seems to take pride in retaining original rules fundamental to the game)Whether its a foul on Ashley Young or not, a penalty normally results in a goal. Most times the person fouled never looked remotely likely to score a goal. Hence the punishment is not appropriate and becasue of this people will always dive to get a goal from nothing. Its outdated and causes so many problems in the modern game. The penalty try in rugby is given where a try would almost certainly have been scored but for the foul. Football should adopt something similar. Too many boheheads in charge.

red devil Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Not so sure Mick. What if Hernandez had been fouled last night before he fluffed it from 1 yard out? Nothing is 100% certain. You'll also get farcical situations where a team is awarded a free kick instead of a penalty a couple of yards from the goal line. The only way to limit diving is to retrospectivly punish players clearly found guilty by TV replays. The FA have just started doing this re. violent play missed by the ref, i.e. Riether's stamp on Januzaj. It won't stop it as these tend to be 'heat of the moment' incidents, but at least something is being done...

Mick Mac Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I'm sticking to my guns - penalty does not fit the crime - incentivises people to dive. Correct the source of the problem. No need for free kicks too close to the goal - bit of construtive thought. Punishing divers is virtually impossible post Eduardo gate.

At the moment you get a penalty/goal if the player fouled is not even in possession eg Ashley Young. Ridiculous.

Otta Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 So are penalties won by diving fair game then? If the ref didn't see it it's okay to cheat, it's only cheating if you get caught.A ref SHOULD be able to ref a match in the knowledge that players will play it fair.

maxxi Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 If the game is stopped for a penalty maybe the opposing side should have the opportunity to appeal (like cricket and US football - 2 per team per game?) and ask the third official to judge via the slow-mo replay (the game has stopped anyway) with the penalty for diving (if that's the case) being a card.

Nothing is failsafe, and ultimately it comes down to one man's interpretation, the ref or a.n.other.What gets me in all this, is that it's always the attacking player that is branded the cheat, never the defender. Tugging on a shirt is not exactly playing the game in a fair spirit, but it seems to be accepted. Last night Vidic was elbowed off the ball as he went up for a corner, a foul and penalty, but the defender got away with it. Is he not a cheat too in the spirit of the game?...
