manning 'dive'

[sainthelens]

Complaining about it would carry some weight if it decided the result. But we did win 5-1 so don't get all the bleating.

We were gubbed at White Hart Lane but we still complained about Dele Alli cheating us by 'winning' a penalty. Just because we won comfortably today doesn't mean it's ok.

Deli Ali has carved a career out of being a cheating cvnt, we get lucky for 1 today and a thread starts complaining about it.
Jesus wept.

That would have made me laugh ever harder.

The thread was started by someone defending the dive, not complaining about it

I can't remember the last dodgy penalty we were awarded. It seems such a shame to waste it in the FA cup, and a 5-1 win to boot. I would have much rather have seen Thomas Frank's face if it was a 95th min pen to win 1-0 on Wednesday.

Clearly wasn't a dive, as there was clear contact. It was however a bought penalty in that it was he who initiated the contact. Clever or gamesmanship? He got the pen so I guess it was clever play.

Nonsense it was a dive and blatant cheating.

Definite dive. Not how we should lay. We’ve not got any right to moan about things going against us. Cooper should call him out on it and say ‘that’s not how we play’.

Has he not read Roy of The Rovers ? Hamish Hotshot never did that, nor did Billys Boots.

 

[Longlostjack]

Is the right answer.

It isn’t. There’s no place in sport for cheating. Let’s hope Brentford don’t get the same on Wednesday. I’ve no idea how their games go but perhaps they’ve had some stonewall pens denied too.
Cheating is cheating whoever does it.

Of course that’s right. But let’s make an exception against shitty City - they bloody deserve it.

No, let's not.

You think that Deli Ali did the right thing and was streetwise. Personally I think that he was a cheat, as was Manning. You really can't change your mind depending on the colour of the shirt.

One of those 50/50 in real time I shouted PEN , looking back you can see the defender stick his leg out , but hold his hands in the air, so he knew it was iffy, yep one of those you either get or not, but weve had a few against is in our time.

But theres more to worry and discuss about these days

Of course you can, we are football fans. What goes for us is perfectly fine and should be laughed off, what goes against us is cheating and done by scummy turds and should be moaned about. Deli Alli was a cheating c**t, Ryan Manning needs to work on his technique. It's not frigging netball.

"Do as you would be done by" comes to mind.

"Do as you would be done by" comes to mind.

"Get your retaliation in first" comes to my mind mate.

So it's the cup final. Do we play fair and lose 1-0 or do we take two 'Mannings' and win 2-1? Let's see people put their money where their mouth is then.

sorry jst dont agree, a slowed down replay fair enough but not at full speed, there's no way he controls the ball, steps over and thinks oo ill kick his foot now in about a tenth of a second, he plants his foot against the defender = contact = penalty. Its a foul anywhere else on the pitch

It’s a dive.
