Playing the game

[The Hecky Flecky Shake]

What Henderson's just done for England there. Going down soft with little on him.

I think it was Burke that could have gone down in our last game and won a pen. We need to start playing the game all the rest do. Not to the extent of say Bournemouth though

He was near the halfway line so a pen would have been interesting

Yeah not that one Snow. When Ceballos miss controlled in the box, it was Lunny thinking about it who nicked it away from him.

I think Burke could get hit with a machette and he'd still run after the ball.

VAR could have been occluded, so you never know.

I know nothing stays the same, but if Burke’s willing to play the game, then he’ll eventually win us a pen.

Other teams player goes down easily looking for free kick or penalty= they get a free kick or a penalty before their arse hits the floor.

Sheffield United player goes down easily looking for free kick or penalty= VAR spends five minutes looking at 75 camera angles, desperately trying to find a way to book him for diving.

People still watch England?

I'm torn on this it would've been embarrassing seeing Lundstram go down but then again there was much more contact on him than the tackle on Aubameyang and the Arsenal fans were outraged how Berge nearly ended his life.
The pull on Burke; there was a good chance that Burke would've got that ball, I have never seen anybody so fast on a football pitch (and consistently so).
I am really undecided on the way forward, in an ideal world the referees would apply the rules as written (a touch does not equal a foul) the tools are there to help (VAR) but we have lost opportunities which would change the complexion of games in the last 3 consecutive games now. Until the authorities get a grip it's time to turn to the darkside.
