The Flying Picket
First Team
The players know they will get away with it 99 times out of 100, so they play percentages.
...diving is part of the game, but things like Mitrovic rolling (from last match v Huddersfield) around trying to con refs into getting a fellow professional sent of should be clamped down on firmly by the rulemakers...with an automatic six match ban!
...tell me as an outsider what do you think of the human race?Diving is part of the game, but trying to con the ref...its just not right.
Killing someone is just a part of life, but murder? Needs to be clamped down on!

No thanks. The thought of Sean Dyche in a pair of budgie smugglers bouncing gingerly on a plank makes me feel a bit queasy.
Barnes is a total winker also .Trouble is Dyche is a hypocrite - has he never watched Ashley Barnes in his dying swan routine.

...agree the custodians of the game could eradicate this with tougher punishments and giving referees the backing to stand up to players who consistently try to con them!...I also agree that we have a few in our team who go down very easy when challenged and pull faces at the referee when he ignores their, tbh, poor attempts to get one over on him...If FIFA wanted to, they could stop it and most of it starts with actually respecting the referees decision and not getting in their face like the rugby. The problem is we can't have different rules in PL to FIFA as then we'd be at a disadvantage in international competitions. The buck stops with FIFA.
