Why would anyone cheat to give themselves a more difficult goalscoring chance? (penalty vs open goal)

Is a very very good question, but still seems to happen a lot.... last night an example of it.
A seem to remember the likes of Michael Owen (later on), Andy Johnson to think of two would be quite happy to do that. I think it becomes a mindset thing.

If the goalie grabs the player's leg with his hand it's a foul. It's really that simple lads.

The still shows he “grabbed” his leg - the video of the actual incident shows it was more of light slap - but why does he start to go down before the hand touched the leg ?

If you anticipate a foul, is it any less of a foul?

If somebody lunged across your path while you were running you wouldn't flinch I take it? Just plow on robotically, never deviating.

He’d hit ‘em with his hockey stick ?

Flinch ? He dived down ? Why didn’t he jump over the arm and then have a clear run onto goal ?
He expected the keeper to wipe him out and started to go down - there was slight touch on him from the hand but he was already on his way down - he dived , he isn’t the only one to do it - many other players do the same.

Many a leg has been saved doing this.
It makes you laugh though doesn’t it slating Son when Mo Salah dives in the box when someone lightly touch his shoulder (soon forgotten though) I’m mean how blinkered are some people.
Every team has them pure and simple.
Everyone is cheating it’s just a mentality of can I get away with it.

Jump over an arm.. which was near enough waist height?? I know he's athletic but that really would be impressive.

So you can see Son lifts his right leg to evade the sliding lunge of the keeper, and while he's doing that the keeper's hand also makes contact with his thigh. It's a foul.

In other news... that Newcastle fan who got his willy out when they scored has been banned for life, while a Bournemouth fan who shouted racist abuse has been banned for three years. Just goes to show you what type of men are running the FA. Surely those punishments are the wrong way round? How can you deem someone waving their willy as worse than racially abusing someone? Utterly wrong.

Children's sentences are normally less severe as they are young and impressionable .. niave aswell
Yeah I get that in a court of law. haven't seen the case Tbh, but for me. If we are soft on certain things then who does it deter.
if some kids saw their mate punished for life (bearing in mind it’s only missing football for life) maybe they’d think again.
just googled. The ”kid” is 17. That’s more than old enough to be treated harshly

They're as bad as each other imo. Maybe the latter is far too lenient on this occasion but if you think indecently exposing yourself in a vicinity with women and children in is a “lesser” crime, then i think you need to see someone as you’re utterly wrong.
