Well to be fair, the challenge on Modric was fairly innocuous. To describe that as an intentional leg-breaking challenge would be idiotic.

Ok, you wrote the regulations and that shit, but they must be equal to all and every similar decision should be brought on the desk after the match to discuss from now on. And I'm pretty sure that there were a dozen of situations like this in the past during this uefas regulation. The only difference is that at this specific one Celtic, Scotland and media started to moan on this like it was end of the world (and don't get me wrong- everyone should be punished for simulation) so it all got pumped up more than it had to.

If UEFA are going to decide on decisions, why not do away with referees in the traditional sense and just have a UEFA official sat in the stands with a telly?

I hate Bowyer as much as the next man, but it was pretty obvious he had already started his swing to boot the ball away when Modric planted his leg in front of him.

Because this is a case where a player has conned the ref. It's not a case of a ref making a mistake like a didgy offside, or not seeing a foul. In this instance, a player has actually intentionally fooled the referee. UEFA should act on that.

I am all for bringing these bans in for diving, but they need to stick at it well and truly. Un*ted have players diving everywhere all the time, and there are times that they get away with a lot of things, whereas another player/team wouldn't get away with it. Last season, Rooney, Fagaldo, Nani, and obviously many others would dive for fun. I don't see why they are stamping down on Eduardo. I'm quite sure that next time a Un*ted player dives, they will get away with it.

The other week, when Vidic 'slapped' Rodagella, nothing happened. If it was Dunne who'd done that, he would be getting a couple of matches ban and a fine. Last year, Stoke away, SWP did something to Delap, and ended up getting a ban. But Un*ted always seem to be the exception to this ?

Been racking my brain for a dive i seen a bit back and just found it, have a guess who it was against??????

Just embarassing, but had he gone down straight away it would've been a nailed on penalty.

After watching that, I clicked on another video, which I totally forgot about; Dida getting a 'tap' in the face before dropping dramatically... against... you've guessed it!

It was in this video:

but if it is not applied across the board then it's fucking useless. as it is the ref made his decision on this and has been over ruled. a first, and something which we have been told cannot be done. so to do it against arsenal, and a player who probably has very vivid memories of having his leg broken most horribly and thuis probable cause to jump tackles/dive to avoid contact (but still be in a position where he would've been fouled had he not jumped it) smacks of a lack of consistency.

rooney was going down before contact was made. he should be suspended as well. ball was going out after his toe prod to take it beyond the keeper, but he couldn't have done anything with it even if he stayed on his feet. vidic should be banned for striking the wigan fella in the face as well, or just charged with assault.

Sort of pertains to Eduardo (not for the squeamish)



Horrific

Witsel's an FM legend too.

It's not that bad a tackle? Just unlucky.

Well I don't think that he necessarily goes out to snap him.

But yeah, it is quite bad Squidge. His career might be over.

He goes over the ball and doesn't get any of it. I reckon he was going for the ball, but it's not all about intent. It was reckless
