what a disgraceful dive by Young,thats 2 weeks running he cheated and got 2 pens,no other team would get them decisions

Of course other teams get them!

Its the sanctimonious nonsense you get from the likes of the three eejits from Tyrone when other teams do it that is sickening.

It is funny coming from you given your user name!

In fairness it does not look good from that angle.

In fairness it does not look good from any angle, he and Suarez are the two worst divers in a league full of them!

High praise for Evans from fergie in yesterday's program notes.

"I must admit my heart sank a little early in the season when i learned just how long our captain, Vidic was going to be out as a result of knee surgery. He and Rio had become the cornerstone of our defence, but Rio responded brilliantly despite his back injury and now has struck up a fine partership with Jonny Evans. Jonny came to us from Belfast when he was 12 or 13, always exceptionally talented but gangly with physical issues growing up. We had him out on loan with Antwerp and Sunderland and now we are seeing the value of nurturing him. There is no doubt he has been helped playing alongside the experience of Rio and he is now arguably the best defender in the country."

6 clean sheets in the last 7 PL games mostly down to the good form of Evans & another that deserves credit is DeGea, he's been superb since the turn of the year.

Fergie's been on the bottle again clearly.

Young actually kicked the defender and it should have been a free out

[pintsofguinness]

At least he has the decency to wait until he gets a touch before going down, unlike some.

I don't suppose any of you were watching the football in Croke park yesterday ?

Some of the rolling around and diving by all sides was ridiculous - the equalising point for Mayo at the end of the Kerry v Mayo game where there were 4 Kerry men round the Mayo man and the waits for Darren O'Sullivan's arm to go in and then he falls down and the ref gives them the free where they equalise from, is just as bad as the diving and feigning injury that goes on in soccer.

So in the GAA it's already here and has been for quite some time.

Correction, its already in Gaelic Football, wouldnt get away with any of that in the NHL or the Hurling Championship.

Agreed - hurling is exempt ( so far ).

Far from it. Maher was guilty of a terrible dive in last years game against Dublin.

Just after watching a top reserve game, Newcastle 3 Man United 6 (Newcastle were leading 3-0) last season's youth cup winner Will Keane scored 4 goals.

Another reserve title won with that result.

[muppet]

Will Keane what?

[EC Unique]

[Gaffer]

If he was tht good why didn't t he score plenty of frees then!

[EC Unique]

Hitting a 50 yard pass is totally different to a 20 - 25 yard shot. Two different skills.

[Square Ball]

cus theres people in the way?

[EC Unique]

Pogba deal done.
