not be long before any player sliding in like lunny will be deemed out of control and automatic free kick.
it'll be a sad day for football but it's coming due to the sheer value of some of these little darlings.
 
That was a great tackle. Even better for putting Grealish on the floor for 5 minutes

Whilst he was lying on the floor we nearly scored our fifth. The ref then went over to see if he needed treatment and Grealish just got up.
If one of our players was faking on the floor whilst play was going on, I think CW would have words to say to him and he would get a lot of abuse on here!
 
I'm not so young. and saw him play a number of times against the Blades, including the time at Old Trafford when he scored against us when we were top of the old First Division. You know the one they keep on bloody showing!



The Chopper Harris tackle followed by the goal against us!


What a fucking player.

pommpey
 
Laughing at Grealish rolling around pretending like it was a bad tackle yet literally no Villa players are even batting an eyelid to his play acting and don't even for a millisecond consider appealing for a foul cus they knew it was a perfect tackle.

Grealish's play acting behaviour really does put a bad name to a decent player

Yeah, I got the impression his teammates have little time for him and his antics. Every foul on him they barely said anything.

They’re obviously used to his theatrical performance every time he’s tackled. Lundstran’s tackle was perfect. UTB
 
The difference between George Best and todays players
Best's only thought was to stay on his feet where he can do the maximum damage. He just wanted the ball, and when he'd got it he wanted to keep it
Todays players first thought is to go down like a sack of spuds to try to win a free kick and get someone booked or sent off, even if this means breaking up a period of play when his own team is on top.

A lot is said about Best's skills, but he was incredibly brave as well, he took some right hammer.
You can only imagine the damage that Best would do to teams nowadays with defenders unable to just chop him down

The only downside would be his lifestyle, you can't get away with that nowadays.

Agree with that, but I wonder how much influence the money involved in football these days has had on the way the game is played?

Back in the day professional footballers were paid more than the average wage but not to the extent of todays nonsense.

Today a player that is 'touched' in the penalty area and doesn't go down - and also doesn't score - may cost his team mates thousands in
win bonuses.

You can imagine the conversation in the dressing room and at the next training session were that to happen.

Todays game encourages cheating, it detracts from the game we all love but what can be done about it?

It boils my piss players doing that. Ref's should/should be able to/instructed to book players for simulation for it. I can't see how its much better than diving because its still feigning injury to deceive the ref in my eyes
