I hope all the United fans complaining about Lamela were also complaining when Bruno fouled a Villa player then rolled on the floor and managed to win a penalty last season.
Are these upset United fans aware of the irony?
I was in a silent pub when Martial was sent off why didn't Coco get booked/sent off?
It’s not that English players don’t roll around, tho...just no-one moans about it. Let’s be honest, Bale made them rewrite the diving-yellow-card rule and many a British or other European forward has dropped like they’ve been shot many times (Ronaldo, I’m looking at you...).Lo Celso can be a naughty bastard as well. Should have got a red against Chelsea last season, VAR really fucked that one up.
Whilst Souness is on TV making that comment is wrong but I doubt anyone here didn't think it.
I even said to my brother after the game "reminded me of the Argentines in the 80's"
Should do...but does Jose have the cajones to make Bale work for his place?Most stand-out winger this season so far, besides Sonny. Should start the next game, while he's at it.
Sensible mum having the kid stay in his home town.I miss TransWorld Sport.
It's not just about diving, it's about gamesmanship. Lamela didn't just take a tumble, it set it up.It’s not that English players don’t roll around, tho...just no-one moans about it. Let’s be honest, Bale made them rewrite the diving-yellow-card rule and many a British or other European forward has dropped like they’ve been shot many times (Ronaldo, I’m looking at you...).
what made Souness’ comment dodgy is that he didn’t specify everyone (most everyone) does it now...
EDIT:
And it was okay when Owen hit the ground for a pen despite Poch not even touching him.
