[Football] Boxing day football

[The Wizard]

As I’ve said before - and I don’t agree with it - it is now a part of football.

You have this man playing for you.

Just an awful part of the game.

Eh? This was universally condemned by our fans, Kane is lauded as ‘clever’ when he does it, much like his nudging players when they are mid jump.

Kane is a fantastic player btw, just his antics wind me up.

Brentford pitch looks pretty crap by prem standards.

So if I condemn the incident you’re referring to - it’s ok?

Think and looks like it was used for the rugby.

I didn’t say that but I’m not sure why you are mentioning Pervis, we all think that’s shitty as well, doesn’t mean Kanes constant cheating is any more likeable.

Difference is Kane never seems to get any flack for it.

I suppose my point was/is - that it’s a part of football now. As mentioned in my previous post on this thread I don’t agree with it - but every team has ‘cheats’, if diving makes you a ‘cheat’.

Nothing against Pervis himself.

Maybe because he has a nice hairstyle?

 

[Brok]

2-2

 

[Swansman]

The goal from Kane really changed everything, full control for Brentford before that but they look really nervy now. Probably going to lose the game.

 

[The Wizard]

Now Mbuemo diving, embarrassing.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Another candidate for dive of the year

 

[Paxton Dazo]

Now Mbuemo diving, embarrassing.

Think we can agree to agree now.

That Mbuemo dive has proved my (both of our) points.

Again, it’s now part of football.

Except Brentford player was yellow carded...

He was.

Honestly can’t tell you why he was and Harry/Pervis were not, but I’m not a referee (thankfully.. who’d want to be a ref.. hiding to nothing).

 

[Springal]

Sunderland Blackburn for me. A game lacking in quality on either side sadly

 

[zefarelly]

Kane is nicely protected as England captain, he's the best cheat in the PL.

If he got called out for it I doubt his stats would be quite as good.

I always wonder why good players, with sufficient talent to succeed at the highest level, liked Neymar, Kane, and maybe even Grealish, feel the need to cheat to supplement their performances.

Yep. That header by Kane was world class, stunning, don’t see enough of it these days.

But I still can’t stand him. He cheats every single game and gets away with it time and again with his reputation intact.

Pervis - ref probably didn't see it, and it's not a major part of his game. Kane gets away with it week-in week-out - it's not the odd isolated incident that might be missed. If he was carded for his dives, he'd spend half the season suspended.

I’ll take your word for it squire.

I was under the impression Pervis had only played a handful of games for BHA being a new signing.

Not sure about the half a season comment though.

Good work Brentford, well deserved lead

Any result with Tottenham nil in it, will suite me just fine.
