More than ever believe/feel footie was a whole lot better before MotD and social media...

The thought of 'watching' a game on Twitter really doesn't float my boat...

Disagree with MOTD, that was the highlight of the weekend.

Social media has too many faceless idiots who thinks it's acceptable to act the way they do.
 
Highlight of the weekend would be going to the game... Surely?

Yes and no

When I had my season ticket I used to love re watching the game on MOTD to see any calls again to see if it was right

See replays of the goals

Etc
 
The only issue with that is if players dont go down, 99% of the time they dont get the foul.

Personally I think fouls are given way too easy but that's just my opinion.

I know, and agree.

You can still go down, but if you do a triple-salco with pike, hold the wrong leg, roll 6 times and mainly to get someone booked/sent off no reason that it cant be treated as ungentlemanly conduct, in the same way that waving an imaginary card can also get a player booked.

I wouldnt expect it every week, but you do see a situation like that a few times a month throughout the premiership, and a few times yesterday. :)

How do you place Manes?

If you accept a deffo foul (which it was) don’t go down, no foul. go down, be accused of diving
Every club has a case in point, but I offer you coutinho, Kop end the other year. (Can dig it out but rather not)

I'm not saying a booking for going down too easily, just extra histrionics, such as mentioned.
 
Just seen the England pen, clearly contact and clearly simulation! penalty or not?
Let me ask you would he give that without the exaggeration? I think not.
It’s a pen because he kicked him .
This is what Mane did last week.

Is it a pen =yes , simulation = no ,,exaggeration = yes ,,but surely it can’t be both a pen and simulation .

This is where I see it so differently, he kicked him but the kick caused no impact, if it had he would go down naturally, so he simulated the impact of being kicked to "win" a penalty

Clearly simulation because his reaction is not what the contact caused, and for me no its not a pen either, why do people think contact means its automatically a foul?
