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 ?
Nah, sorry Squirrel - completely disagree.
'This is the modern game'? What - cheating? No place for it at all, whether it's a player from Chelsea, MU, or one of ours.
He WAS a cheat because the shirt pull didn't have any effect on him losing his balance, so he tried to cheat. Ideye not getting a penalty v West Ham is completely irrelevant.
Rooney cheated. Sess cheated. Hate all cheats and he (Sess)'s gone right down in my estimation, although I don't suppose he'll worry too much about that.
