The Flopper Thread

[TorresIsGod]

What happens if another referee says it was a penalty?

The universe implodes?

I'd take FC's word over any other referee, Mark Clattenburg aside.

I guess if you say it over and over and over again it starts to seem as though you are serious...but if you were just taking the piss then fair enough

Well, FWIW, me saying it all of the time is just a piss-take (I get bored ). I stated my reasoning for not giving it at the time, however I understood why it was given and I did say it was a 50/50 (IMO anyway).

Andy Townsend's take on the Eduardo ruling...

God I hope there's a massive flop this w.e so we can stop talking about Rooney lol.

You've conviently over-looked the part where Gomes actually took Johnson out.

Rooney instigated the contact with Almunia. Completely different.

A trip in the box is a trip in the box, kicking the keeper and falling over is a different situation.

both of them were dives, rooney's was just more obvious

graham poll (take with grain of salt if you want) on foxsports fc that refs are intimidated at old trafford.

Haha. Since he retired from refereeing, Graham Poll's been saying any old shite that'll give him media exposure.

 

[RickSanchez]

Nice word there. "Retired"

 

[belfast_bomber]

Heheh.

Wheeling out Mr. Three Card Trick himself to back up your arguments is a bit of an own goal.

Lovely little over-reaction there from Anderson lol. Haven't seen one in a while actually, it's been gd.

Arguably the world's greatest flopper, Didier Drogba is at again. Brilliant fall to the ground with minimal contact, looked to be either knocked unconscious as he lied face down and/or have a severe knee injury. But he magically recovers and is up and abusing the referees in no time!!

What a character he is!!

 

[TorresIsGod]

He was hacked down by a vicious challenge. The Spurs player should have been red carded.
