Sess dive was disgusting. Hope he gets a huge fine from the club. Just hate players doing it.

 What are we going to do against the Vile if no are strikers available??  Sess up front maybe?

Worrying thought

Look at the post above yours.

Would have done if they had not both been posted at the same time   That said giving Nabi a run out may not be a bad idea

Did you see what Ruud Gullitt said about diving re. an incident in the Burnley game on MOTD, last night? Effectively it was that sometimes it's the player's responsibility to go to ground to ensure a referee realises an offence has been committed especially if a good goal-scoring attempt has been lost. However, I do agree Sessegnon's dive was disgusting.  It was not only that, it was pathetic, laughable.  Nil points!

Why was Sess 'dive' disgusting ?
He had his shirt pulled. Last week up in Sunderland had their fans irate when Lescott not sent off for at worst brushing his fingers on his back.
Watch the replay Sess had his shirt pulled...end of !
Agree if no contact it's a dive but Rooney dives and people say it's ok cos he thought he would get fouled !!!

The only reason it wasn't a penalty is because the shirt pull is the original foul and it is just outside the box.
Have a clear photo of the shirt pull if anyone can't see it.

Rooney gets away with it because he plays for 'you know who'.

Us lesser undeserving mortals are expected to observe the laws of the game.

Just back from game and everyone played well with the exception of one player - again Brunt didn't turn up. Other than an excellent clearing header from a Southampton cross from their left, his quality was zero. Crosses were constantly over hit, poor passing etc etc. I just don't know how he keeps getting selected over Poco or indeed anyone who could do a better job.
Funny how others who watched the game thought Brunt was one of our best players. Certainly wasn't for me !

Other than mis-hitting a couple of left wing crosses, which used to be his forté, I think Brunt had a good game.  I am led to understand Pocognoli isn't keen on the tough training régime and appears to have lost his watch.  If true, neither of these problems is likely to endear him to a strong disciplinarian like TP.

From what I saw on match choice brunty did alright. We have to bear in mind he's trying to get used to being a LB now and give him a bit of slack. I still think Poco's place has gone due to his reckless challenges that lead to free kicks in dangerous areas. Brunty hasn't got Poco's pace but I think he has experience at this level and is doing ok for my money. After all He was the provider for Saido's stunning goal that settled the match yesterday

I agree re Brunty - as said before I actually thought he was our best defender yesterday! Strange how most of his high crosses have got so much worse since playing LB tho?
Even stranger how different people have such differing views too!

If he had his shirt pulled then fine. But the dive, which is what it was, was a tad latter then the pull and not connected.  Jess's brain went along the lines of:
1 - Oh shirt being pulled
2 - Oh he's stopped pulling shirt
3 - What shall I do now 
4 - Oh I know fall over

He cheated 

Don't get me wrong they all do to various levels. Just wish when ours do it the remember to do it during the incident and not a few seconds later. They need more training at this!

I agree that he has felt his shirt being pulled and gone to ground. Can't argue that the shirt pull wasn't enough to pull him off his feet but this is the modern game.
How many free kicks and penalties are given if there is contact. My point is Lineker and Shearer called him a cheat because they said there was no contact. He was having his shirt pulled so it was a foul(outside the box)
Don't agree with the modern day footballer going down as soon as they feel contact but when you have players wrapping or keeping their leg out to get fouls and people going down without any contact I think calling Sess a diver when he was having his shirt pulled is harsh.
Against West Ham Ideye should have had a penalty when he outrageously went round Nolan and got tripped.
Feel sorry for the refs as they get one look at it not the slow mo replays we see but when pundits stick up for Rooney when there was no contact what so ever where does it end ?
