[Football] Zaha... cheat

[Triggaaar]

Because we see it time and time again: football fans are largely incapable of judging without bias.

It's why nearly all Albion fans thought Dale Stephens should not have been sent off, but nearly everyone else though a red was right.

Nah.

What? Having a penalty is an advantage, due to his action, regardless of what happens later. Next you'll be saying 'got a penalty and scored, but went on to lose, so no advantage' etc.

Doesn’t matter. There was contact. Barely. But there was. Therefore. Pen award stands.

I haven't seen this particular incident. But since when does contact automatically mean it's a penalty? I know pundits love to justify cheating on the basis of contact, "there was contact there, he has every right to go down" - but contact does not mean it was a foul.

I know Graham Poll is a plonker, but here's what he has to say:

"He gets suckered in by Zaha's dive, it is a dive, he feels a little touch, he'll claim there's contact but it's not enough for a penalty kick. An experienced ref like Jon should not get suckered into that one."

So you think that if you polled three groups of people:

- Albion fans
- Palace fans
- Other football fans

...on whether it was a penalty or not, you’d get the same result from each group?

Yes, if they were being honest.

I'm sure there used to be a chant at the goldstone of "he's in the box ! and down he goes" for wardy

Do not remember this at all.

Think you are making it up.

Also it does not rhyme; so shite chant.
