It doesn't give you 'the right to go down' it's not 'clever/intelligent play's. It's cheating and it's utterly amazing how blatantly players so it nowadays. Lallana should be banned for that. | | | | |

Well f*ck me.... on 20:52 - Jan 5 with 1557 views | Garv | I blame the likes of Shearer for allowing it to go on for so long and buying into it. I was amazed to hear Shearer say that after hearing his debatable comments regarding the same subject every week on MOTD. | |

Well f*ck me.... on 20:53 - Jan 5 with 1548 views | Trequartista | For me a foul is purely impeding a player. Could that player have continued in control of the ball? The answer is clearly yes so not a foul for me. Unfortunately nowadays it's all about touching a player, not impeding them. | |

It's not exactly caused him to leap with two feet off the floor either. It's so, so obviously cheating it's almost unbelievable. | | | |

How the rules haven't been changed/clarified is incredible. | |

I wonder how often a player who "goes down" at the slightest touch of a defender (but fails to "win" a penalty) would have scored if only he'd stayed on his feet and taken a shot? I know Garner does a good job, but I tend to feel constantly falling over without genuine cause is counter-productive. | |
