Ashley Young cited for simulation

[Rouge Penguin]

It's not weird is it? After the 2nd horrific dive in as many games, its about time they introduced a retrospective punishment for diving.

Also Bale's inner ear allergy to goal netting isn't admissible.

 

[nealmac]

I haven't seen the incident, but I'm led to believe that this one was indeed a penalty, albeit a greatly exaggerated claim?

 

[Hansern]

Nope. That was Fergies answer though.

 

[spider-Neil]

went on red cafe and young is being battered by his own fans.

 

[Jack D Rips]

there was contact but the way I saw it, Young actually made the contact, Clarke saw what he was doing and tried to pull his foot away.

 

[spider-Neil]

sure there are some mancs trying to defending him but I would say the majority of them are letting him have it both barrels. the guy actually runs towards the defender rather than ball and spreads his legs as he is going down (fnar fnar 😉 ) who falls like that? the refs will watch that video and I think they will start to look the other way when he goes down*

*I am actually talking about young diving rather than sucking someones dick.

 

[Oncy]

What galls me. Appart from the obvious 2 faced cheatyness of it all, is that hes supposed to be one of our best players. If that was Messi or Ronaldo or Hazard or Mata or Munain or EVEN Suarez, having beaten the guy cold and with the ball on his favoured foot and just the keeper and a gaping goal in front of him.......
he fucking pussies out and dives. And he isnt even the penalty taker!! Why in Gods name having got yourself through to a one on one would you not have the testicular fortitude to back yourself.
A cheat and a fucking coward.

I'm amazed that the Scummers are deriding Young Ashley!

 

[Modo]

Referees talk and I don't think they'll be so happy about Young diving, not once but twice. It could cost them.

It could.
Personally I am hoping now that he denied a legitimate penalty in the last minute of the last game of the season which would give them the title, thanks to his current run of, eh, diving!

 

[Jack D Rips]

Would it be possible to put ( not) in front of cited in the thread title?

 

[spider-Neil]

boy who cried wolf and it's going to cost him now that he has a reputation

 

[Mystic]

You say all of this but Untied always get away with this kinda shit.

 

[nealmac]

Do you really think so?

I mean Nani has been getting away with it for years now.

 

[hmmmmm1]

neville just did a brilliant analysis of this and others on sky

Here is me sounding like a paranoid twat but haven't they had the rub of the green for some time? The media loves them, The refs love them. The big decisions seem to go their way A LOT. What was it Paulo Di Canio said all those years ago? He wasn't wrong. I would be curious to see some stats on penalty decisions or big decisions (Sendings off etc) given in Utds favour at Old Trafford or any ground to be fair. If anyone wants to make a cheeky punt on yellow cards given to Utds opposition defenders in the first 20 mins of a game - You could do a lot worse.

Anyway it has to be said - Young dived for the second week running. You can be sure that there will no real media backlash at all. The media offers some 'glitter' to quell the conspiracy theorists - Rooney's vice shame, Ferdinands Drug test miss, etc from time to time but it soon dies away.

I wonder if Liverpool enjoyed the same media favours in the 80s?

I read this and just got a flash back to when Carra cleaned him out.

 

[nealmac]

Well....he fucking deserved it.

I remember once seeing a stat that ManUre get 87%, that's EIGHTY-SEVEN PER CENT of reffing decisions in their favour at Old Tw@tford. This was three or four years ago, but I doubt things have changed much since.

And no, we didn't get anything like the same easy ride then that they get now.

 

[spider-Neil]

manu will always be a force in the league as their home games are a gimme with the decisions they get, all they have to do is perform away to canter to the league.

 

[The Slugmonster]

Yep, I thought he was completely honest, even bringing up footage of beckham, lampard and gerrard diving it the past. It was quite excellent. Jesus I hate neville but he's an excellent pundit!

Is that a fact?

 

[Judge Jules]

Well, I haven't done research of my own into this, but it was in a newspaper article and I don't recall the Mancs bothering to try and deny it.

It must be true so 😉

I think they're bollocks because goals alter the course of games and games alter the course of seasons.

It's impossible to determine the impact of some of these decisions.

That said, we're 10 points better off so I'm all for it.

Yeah, they're pretty much bollocks, but they do show how luck does not always even itself out over a season.

Haha. Touche.

 

[spider-Neil]

it would be perfect if manu were leading by 2 points going into the last game of the season. city take the lead in the game to give them 1 point lead in the league and then in the 90th minute ashley 'cheating cunt' young GENUINELY being fouled for a penalty, absolutely stonewall and the ref waving away the appeals because of the reputation young has built up in the last two games. that would be absolutely PERFECT.
