Players feigning injury (ie cheating)

[1973Blade]

Every time the refs fall for it. Today Gordon was blatantly diving and feigning injury, no action from Attwell. No wonder players do it when they get rewarded for it.

Atwell has always been a wank ref.

They allowed Longstaff to just pretend to be dead in the middle of the pitch.

Unfortunately the scoreline means it is entirely out of scope to highlight the poor officiating.

Gordon went down clearly ‘looking’ for a pen second half. Waved away. So why was he not booked?

Tripper essentially asking for the ref to book Robinson. What wasn’t he booked? It happened to a Rotherham. But then again their lad didn’t play for England.

Surprise our team wasn't rolling around all game after the new arse hole it was ripped

Howe did it with Bournemouth in our first season back.

Unfortunately, the refs have to protect the 'stars'.

Premier League, innit bro...

We try those antics and suddenly ref's decide to dish out cards to us for simulation. I remember MGW got a second booking for diving for a penalty.

I have rarely seen a player of ours dive or "Initiate contact" as dickhead pundits say and win a free kick or penalty.

100% Even if we wanted to level the playing field we couldn’t start doing it now, it’d be another stick to beat us with. Plus as you say I bet they would suddenly start penalising it.

Everytime we lose we blame every single thing else.

Did you not watch Billy sharp in the last 5 seasons, Chris basham likes a good go at it too. The worst thing is people have accepted it as actually being part of the game rather than it getting forced out the game like it should have. That has to lie with the referees for allowing it.

I'm not blaming it for us being outclassed yesterday though.
