It looks like it's something lesser than Cantona and Evra, but i can't see it being a short ban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never fails to sadden me the mentality of fans who think that because they're part of a crowd they can get away with abuse they'd never dare to give one on one. I've been in crowds at Albion and England matches and heard some unforgivable stuff. Conversely it never fails to amuse when fans start whinging when a player gives a little back (cupped ears, the V's, etc) despite screaming w*nker at him for 90 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jyoung Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 The lad should receive backing from the FA, not a ban. Ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's as much as anyone can say right now I would think. Yup. But whatever the circumstances and no matter how far he went (or didn't) with the fan, I can't see how the FA can take the view that it's OK under certain circumstances to go into the crowd to confront a fan. If nothing else, it opens a can of worms going forwards. So I reckon it's a ban, and something more significant than a 3-gamer. But if it was something about his dead child, there's not many who are going to hold it against him beyond the ban. I doubt it would put his england place in the future (if he has one) at risk, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRW5252 Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Surprised Hazards shin is still intact... Impressive dive, very convincing. Will be interesting if there is any retrospective action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellerin tapped him on the boot and he rolled around holding his shin. To suggest that any contact excuses it being a dive is ridiculous.

The Nal Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Wilshere did an old "leave the leg in" dive, could've been sent off and then scored so evened it up for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not matter how he fell, he was touched which mean it wasn’t a dive. just saying how the FA will see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they did him for exaggerating the contact. As Unsworth said at the time it was a dangerous precedent as it opened it upto the opinion that he wasn't hit hard enough rather than fact that he wasn't touched.

Most dives are done by exaggerating the contact. Retrospective action only for dives that have no contact would have little effect on the player's mentalities in my opinion. Most important thing is that they are consistent with whatever bans they do impose though. Edited January 4, 2018 by CRW5252 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
