UniFox21 Posted 2 January Share Posted 2 January This bit of punditry is even worse. Ex Liverpool player slowing it day to 0.05 speed and then zooming it in as much as possible for the faintest touch. Same pundits who will shout that football is a contact sport 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 2 January Share Posted 2 January (edited) Didn't watch it live but take or both of the pens were given on field? Neither are given otherwise. Obviously VAR needs to intervene but without it it's still given. Not enough is made of the players anymore. Football would be easier to ref if it wasn't full of cheating *****. Pundits and fans clamouring for a foul with the slightest touch don't help. Edited 2 January by RowlattsFox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 2 January Share Posted 2 January There's a very easy way to tell if someone has dived, if their arms go in the air, they're diving. If you get tripped up unexpectedly then you naturally put your arms down to break the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelmofox Posted 2 January Share Posted 2 January Totally glossed over the Jota dive this morning on the Radio. Neville called it out when it happened, but all over punditry seems to have accepted it. Can you imagine how Klopp would be behaving if that was given against Liverpool at 3-2 to kill the game off? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkidsFox Posted 2 January Share Posted 2 January We really need Man Utd to have a good second half of the season. Last thing we need is a big Manchester club sniffing around our manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more so, Jota could’ve easily scored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nalis Posted 3 January Author Share Posted 3 January Brentford quietly in freefall, lost 7 of their last 8. Wonder if they'd ever pull the trigger on Frank? Toney will be back in a fee weeks I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we found last year, once you are in that bottom 6 its very hard to get out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bear Posted 3 January Share Posted 3 January Brentford have had numerous injuries to contend with recently, and now two or three of their starters are off to AFCON. So they won't be improving any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
