An ankle to the head can be quite painful, try it!Not specific to the other night but he seems to have been booked pretty quickly in some games this season. As much as we all laugh about it he’s too obvious about it. Maybe the real tactic is to annoy the opposition rather than waste time, which is fine.

It was Patrick Suffo, he came through the Nantes academy so not French but he’s got a French passport. True story he became an agent when he retired from professional football. He had damaged his cruciate ligaments and my team was the first one he played for after the injury. He played about 12 games for us, scored in every gameI was only joking cos you said a French forward. I’m not at all surprised. But it’s only come about because refs fall for it. If I can spot a dive/overreaction from the stands they can from the pitch.
Strangely enough I did ask Jephcott if he wanted to sign but he declinedavun jephcott?
Wild guess but I’ve heard the exact same story elsewhere
How can you not see some contact with his head?Firstly, Wilson's head was not touched by any part of Forss. The Boro player ran into his lower back.
And regarding the time added, remember back to this last World Cup. The refs were told to add on the correct amount of minutes used for time wasting and I'm pretty sure the instruction was passed down to the Leagues.
Ben has increased his time wasting or rolling over feigning injury as the season has progressed. Once or twice in a game is frustrating but is against the spirit of the game. When he does it six or seven times in a game, it crosses the unacceptable line in my eyes. And everyone can shout that other players do it but two wrongs don't make a right.
He has a negative reputation now in the Championship and the PL has VAR so he's going to have to be careful next season, wherever we land.
I'm totally against these tactics. It's cheating and not acceptable.
An ex cov forward who played briefly for my old Sunday league team used to tell the lads to go down as soon as they feel any contact, he played youth football in France and he said the coaches taught them to do it.
He said you might look big and strong staying on your feet but you won’t win free kicks in good areas by proving how strong you are!
To be fair it did sometimes because Sunday refs assume no one will diveNot sure it works in Sunday League.

You're entitled to your opinion but please accept that others may differ. I've checked, paused and rechecked the video from Twitter and the only frame that shows potential contact is this

The one previous and the one after show no contact with Wilson's head. Unfortunately, Callum chose the wrong time to run across the camera view and blocks some of the incident
When you injure a bone, you react by jerking away from the cause through your pain reflex. So what I was looking for is any sudden head movement after the contact. And Wilson's head never jerked away after. So he may have felt a faint touch or a waft of air but it certainly was not injurious and certainly not worthy of the rolling around performance he put on afterwards.
That is my personal opinion.
fuck me, get over yourself!! it's part and parcel nowadays so we'd be stupid not to employ the same tactics as everyone else. You don't win anything by being squeaky clean.I'm totally against these tactics. It's cheating and not acceptable.
I think on Wednesday more time was added on then wasted, so you cant fool these premier league referees / officials. There is a difference between slowing the game down and silly time wasting, it does not pay when you see 8 mins added on for a few subs and one injury break and Ben's antics

He did with his knee having dived to try and get one of our players bookedDon’t agree I’m afraid, it’s cheating. If Akpom had hit the floor pretending to have been kicked in the head, this whole forum would’ve gone up in flames
Haha guessed who it was within 5 seconds.An ex cov forward who played briefly for my old Sunday league team used to tell the lads to go down as soon as they feel any contact, he played youth football in France and he said the coaches taught them to do it.

10ft out?The ball went 10ft out of play and the officials didn't see it.
About as hard to fool as Barry Chuckle
I don't think anyone has ever had their career ended by an opponent holding on to the ball for a few seconds longer than they should.Personally i think the whole method of penalising misdemeanours in football is arse-about-face.
Mistime a tackle by a tenth of a second and you're looking at possibly a red card for dangerous play. But blatantly dive/cheat/pull someone back on a dangerous counter-attack, and its a yellow max and everybody calls it "great game management"
I don't think anyone has ever had their career ended by an opponent holding on to the ball for a few seconds longer than they should.
Yeah, I was playing devil's advocate slightly but that's the reason for punishing dangerous or reckless challenges the way they do which I think is understandable.There has to be an acceptable level of risk otherwise it might as well be a non-contact sport.
Players going down pretending they have a career-ending injury is a bigger stain on the game than a slight mis-time of a tackle.
I'd make it 2'If VAR shows no contact the original player should get one kick at the shithouser
10ft out?
You must have a 3 ft dick
