Any of Hourihane, Lansbury and Shelvey all cheat, when it's one of our players it's gamesmanship when it's not its abhorrent and whoever did it should be banned, I'd prefer if nobody did it but that would just be naive to assume that everyone will be honest all the time so it's best to just get on with it
My main issue with Lansbury is that the club he plays for blatantly can't afford his wages. If we were paying £50k a week more than we could afford across the whole of the first team it's fair to say we would've beaten that dismal Forest team comfortably. That irks me.
Just watching Match of the Day and Dele Ali must be close to winning Olympic gold for diving. Cheating b'stard.
It is quite irksome hair for sure. Though for me it's not in the same league as Ben Pearson and his sideways passing man-bun.
I watched that as well and was outraged. People pay hard cash to watch their team succeed and there are players like that who simply cheat blatently. And then when the ref calls it wrong, the ref gets the blame. If there was one thing i wish we could change about the game it would be to make actions such as this unacceptable via peer pressure, as well as via FA action. I'd like to see other players from the same team turn on the player and call him a cheating lovely person. And i want to see bans given retrospectively, with the length increased the more blatant the cheating. Deli Ali yesterday would be worth 5 games.
Always puzzled me that players get retrospective cards and bans for bad tackles, elbows and stamps etc but not for diving. It's cheating and punishable with a yellow card if deemed so by the ref, so why can't at least yellow cards be awarded after the game? Particularly if the result of the incident was a penalty and a goal, that's got to be as bad as the professional foul denying a goal scoring opportunity hasn't it?
I agree and I'd like to see the referee given the power to deem cheating a straight red card offense if they are 100% confident that it was a blatent cheat.
Dele Alli's a horrible cheat, always diving but he's English so it barely gets a mention. If he was foreign he'd get some right hammer
I wish we had a few more like Conor that know how to play a referee. We've come up against them so many times this season like Parker, Tomlin, Martin etc and our own players at times are a bit too nice. As they say with the heel wrestlers on commentary it's only cheating if you get caught.....We don't get as many decisions in a match as we should because our players are a bit too honest.
So in their last 2 matches Forest's MOTM was the referee.... They have benefitted from 3 red cards for 3 questionable decisions. Had 3 penalties. Goals disallowed against them. Mmmh???
No its not - its cheating, full stop. I am glad we don't have a team full of them and I hope it doesn't change. I wish Conor would cut it out - its the one part of his game that doesn't sit well with me at all. The idea that the only answer to the fact that others cheat is to cheat ourselves is depressing.
