Diving Reputation

[bakajack]

Its been discussed before about Bidwell going down easily to won a penalty for us previously but i feel that there's a lot of difference between being streetwise and winning a penalty and Naughton's dive tonight.

When the ref blew I thought he was about to book Naughton for simulation. While yes I am thrilled about the three points especially given our recent sticky patch and our record up in Stoke the way we got the winner leaves a foul taste in my mouth.

While we have often had a reputation for not being the sturdiest of teams I am concerned that the recent exploits will see us instead get a reputation for diving and will cost us in the long run when refs get more traction with us.

Sorry, f**k that. Man City and United and Spurs have been diving all over the shop for years. Foul taste...you must be joking.

No foul taste in my mouth! We've been on wrong end of decisions, you win some and lose some.
Just enjoy tonight's win!!

I also had a foul taste in my mouth, it was from almost choking on my beer when the ref pointed to the spot.

I couldn’t give a toss just don’t moan when sides do it against us.
F*ck me Ayew got fouled down the Liberty a few weeks ago and rolled to Rossi’s and back.
I DONT CARE.

Naughton didn't dive, just saying.

Think back to nov10 2013 when we were up 3-2 and the last minute Peter crouch appealed for a corner but the ref gave a pen he was the only one in the ground to think it was a pen and stoke got equaliser karma a bitch good win swans

Absolutely this, We have had no end of shit pens given against us. Yes we may have been lucky to get the decision today but these things have never evened out for us. We still have many more in the bank.
Just enjoy 3 vital points.

If you want to see a "diving reputation" take a look at Norwich, Brentford and Bournemouth...

It's the Championship ffs

If you want to see more cheating just check out every Premier league side

If we don't "play on the edge" we get left behind.

Rather be street wise me

Good for AA, lovely to see ❤

That's why he's a millionaire

Just saying we cannot decry the injustice of not getting stonewall pens given for us or dubious pens given against us and then praise our own for diving and cheating. It is the very definition of hypocrisy
