Should we start play acting?

We should start playing football

Thought thats what we are on the football pitch for.only we play the pass it backwards game at least that way we managed a clean sheet again as we failed to score in yet another game

Townsend today was an embarrassment. Falling down and squealing whenever contact was made.

He did this last season at the lane. He's a joke of a footballer

Because if Bogle had gone down like he had been punched, Zaha would have got a straight red. Likewise, was the Eze challenge any better than Lundsram's against Brighton? At least Lundstram got the ball first!

Almost my exact words whilst I was watching, especially the Eze foul. For all my life I have argued against stooping to the level of rolling around and fooling the ref, which I consider cheating, but this season I am finding it harder and harder to justify my stance.
For those saying it wasn't why we lost, maybe, but it could have been how we got back into the game. Or if today's decisions were correct, Lundstram not being sent off could have been the difference in winning that game. These things really matter, I don't see how people think they don't make much difference, and if the refs aren't going to reward honest and continue to reward dishonesty, then ultimately we have to be dishonest.
