His reputation preceedes him!?

[Fabio]

Piedro is clearly stuck in his L16 ways and refuses to open his mind, like the middle class butch he is

I heard wab in secondary school

 

[Piedro]

Bollocks, I went to the same school

I fucking ran the school.

NO WAB

 

[Insignificance]

Oh sorry. I didn't know that. I thought he was Scandinavian because we have lots of fans from there and the air gets thinner the more north you go.

Wow... You are up for a few surprises in life!!

This thread has suddenly taken a turn for the better.

If the WAB was out yesterday, it didnt do us much good

 

[Leo]

The Wab can't account for poor defending and quality finishing.
Sometimes ya gotta take it on the helmet and move on.

The wab was tucked away at half time im afraid.
Cant blame me for that one.

It is quite cold at the moment. Wouldn't want to over expose the fella for too long

What happened to this thread, Is Rael really a Wum wab?

What happened to this thread, Is Rael really a Wum wab?

Rael's Moat.

So now we know who to blame

Was it really "tucked" or did it retreat?

Yous is well old init.

You weren't hip to the lingo you rube

 

[doctor_mac]

Its Norn iron i think.

Of course it is.

 

[aquaman4]

Suarez dived today .I think he will never get a penalty .Defenders know they can kick him in the box and no penalty will be given.

 

[ILD]

This thread could turn farcical again soon.

Not getting involved.

 

[Halmeister]

He did dive today like. Worth a shot though. Staying on his feet or being KO'd don't help.

 

[ILD]

Yeah I agree he did flop to the ground. Just couldn't be arsed with the minority who will nearly be pleased he dived so they can hammer home their agenda.

 

[Hansern]

They kicked and stamped the shite out of him though. Huth should have gone, and even when he did the stupid dive they were holding his shirt.

Dont care anymore tbh. We wont be getting penalties, Suarez wont get protection and the holding in the penalty area will never be adressed.

 

[tombrown]

Did MOTD2 make a big deal of it?

 

[nealmac]

Did MOTD2 make a big deal of it?

Don't know. I point blank refused to watch it. Although to be fair to the BBC, I'm pretty sure the 6 yellow cards, Huth's stamping, Walters' thuggery and the 3 reds that never happened weren't of any significance whatsoever, in the grand scheme of things.

The problem for me is that he does himself no favours when he dives like that because put simply, when it happens for real, ref's struggle to believe it's a legitimate foul. That said, they're all as bad as each other, if refs weren't so bad and the technology supported them more, then defenders wouldn't get away with murder and attackers wouldn't get away with theatrics. As it is, refs see fuck all, attackers exaggerate contact to try to make sure they get penalties, defenders utilise officials 'blindspots' and tug, pinch, kick, knee in the back of the thighs, elbow, or whatever else they can get away with to put an attacking player out the game. They're all cunts and they're all cheats, just one of them is a bit more subtle than the other. They both amount to the same. Suarez's dive isn't any worse than the shit Huth and Shawcross get away with every week, it just looks worse.

 

[Judge Jules]

It doesn't even look worse IMO unless it's viewed from an utterly biased standpoint. In any remotely sensible discussion, violence would attract more criticism than diving and Huth would be getting pilloried. In fairness they have had a go at him on the radio this morning, but even that was in the context of a discussion about whether diving should be punished retrospectively.

Which, after a 13 page thread, answers the original question quite concisely.
