Did Kerry cheat or was it just brilliant acting??

[Sam]

I think it was brilliant acting! what would a QPR player have done? its the way football is!

SAMMY SEAGULLS WHEREABOUTS IN SALTDEAN?

I don't like to see play-acting in any form, but the QPR players' action did warrant a sending off and I don't think he would have got sent of if it were not for Kerry’s dive.

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

He admitted today he cheated. Doesn't make it alright to headbutt him though.

The incident was in front of me in the North Stand and if you'd seen the amount of Kerry's blood on the trainers towel afterwards you wouldn't say he over-acted or cheated!

 

[Citrus]

The late fall was needed and justified. However, it did look very funny.

 

[Rich Suvner]

Drew attention to the headbutt at the expense of looking like a wimp on Sky TV! The sending off was totally deserved.

 

[Tooting Gull]

It certainly wasn't brilliant acting. Since everyone watching knew he deliberately fell over. A top method actor like your De Niro would have timed the fall to perfection at the point of impact. But then again, Forbes might not have nutted Robert.

Albionfan where abouts in Sompting?

The poll rather assumes that we all thought it was a cheat, as surely "acting" is "cheating".

Regardless of what Kerry said (as reported above), I think he would have dropped eventually anyway from that blow, once the nausea took over, so I can't vote for either, as I don't think he cheated, and if that was acting then no wonder he's a footballer!

Where's the "Oww!! My face!!! The blood!! The BLOOD!!!!" option?

i wondered how long it would take for someone to pick up on the technicality of my use of the word "acting"!

I quote you.

 

[Sam]

riiiiiiiiiiight

 

[Curious Orange]

To be fair. If someone headbutted me I would go down too, as it would be the quickest way to get a physio on the field for treatment.

 

[Sam]

hahah and they took long enough to get on the field for QPR

 

[AlbionFan]

Hey 227 BHA give me my ball back!!

 

[Curious Orange]

Exactly, if you were stood around bleeding the game probably wouldn't be stopped.

 

[albiongirl]

Kerry did what he had to do!! If had been headbutted I know I would have hit the deck

 

[AlbionFan]

Isn't that always the way, you get yourself a nice new ball then someone has to steal it.
