OT: Association Football

[Joely01]

Seriously there is a soccer forum on this page you can talk about this crap in.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

How can we get it moved there?

 

[Gronk]

Maybe we need a poll.

Yeh, I was gonna say...the thread title is not in any way misleading.....and it has an OT at the start.

A-League will get support from serious sports lovers if they quit the diving. Until then they'll just be stuck with this lot.

Do you think it's ok for defenders to foul as long as the ref doesn't see? Most dives happen because the ref doesn't pick up on foul contact.

Bullshit

My limited knowledge of soccer would disagree.
They dive because they are trying to score. The easiest way to score is from the penalty spot.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The dives in the penalty box are only the most visible, because they are replayed over and over.

The fact is, diving happens all over the field and is usually in response to sneaky foul play that the ref 'needs help' picking up on.

Agree there is incentive to dive inside the box, but without the threat of a penalty, defenders will cheat every single time.

What if I said I hate their music but f**king LOVE their videos?

Aye. No argument here. Their videos are shit hot.

so diving does not happen in league

 

[Poupou Escobar]

And just like with soccer it mostly happens when the ref has missed a genuine foul.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Only cats dive. It's never acceptable.

I thought this was a soccer thread?

Cats don't really dive - they just seem to 'float' with all of their limbs hanging out.

A crowd of 100,000 expected at Flemington tomorrow. The atmosphere will be electric.

Clearly the number 1 summer sport in this country.

And when the derby is being run you can see the members jump on their seats and turn their backs......

Why not move it to the soccer thread though? This is clearly the parramatta NRL forum.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I'm going to start up some Parra threads in some of the other forums. I will write OT so should be sweet.

If the posters in those other forums complain, just tell them to stop clicking on the thread! :lol:
