Rolling around and carrying on

[greggakd]

Seems like most teams we play in Europe are full of players that fall over at the slightest gust of wind.

Referee bought the lot.

That one from Denayer was one of the most embarrassing dives I've seen.

the amount of cheating in football is farcical imo,is there any other sport that allows players to cheat continually throughout the game?

 

[RWL12]

We aren't clever enough. Or don't cheat enough??

Kent was being fouled a few times in the space of 3 seconds, but stayed on his feet. Other teams would have went down.

 

[benfica65]

“Cheats“ is what you are looking for. Referee was very poor on that front.

 

[Thommo2006]

Lyon deserved to win but all they had to do was fall over and they get a free kick. It is so frustrating to watch. The guy near the end I don't even think tav made contact but you'd have thought he had just took his leg off

 

[Jelle1880]

We need to do it as well. Complaining about how 'European teams always do it' won't change anything.

Hell, we always laugh when McGregor does it to waste time.

 

[RR83]

We know they are going to do it but we keep on charging in giving them the opportunity.

Wright had about 4 silly ones

 

[104Bear]

If it’s 0-0 or they are behind they are not doing it, simple. Pure gamesmanship.

 

[pollokparkloyal]

They played the ref well this evening.

Free kick after free kick.

He went down on the edge of their box after being cleaned out and got nothing. After that probably thought may as well stay up

 

[SG 8]

Think we are quite naive at times.

 

[Mabearette]

Diving divas....some refs never learn

 

[Aaritalo]

It's even more annoying against teams like Lyon. The better team and already winning comfortably, really no need for it.

Ref was terrible too

 

[Davieblue1977]

Referee bought the lot.

Agreed BBL

 

[Laudrup97]

Personally if they can do it in Europe I don't know why we don't.
It's always the Scottish mentality to go in all guns blazing. They were street smart, we were not sadly.

 

[Tommy1912]

Every side has players going down to easy at times, including our own. No point moaning about it as its always going to happen. Some say the players shouldn't give them the chance of going down but they would get run over the top off if they didn't try engage somehow.

 

[Cambuslangger]

It’s a huge reason why I can’t stand watching European teams. Some great footballers who are also cheating mofos. It’s pandemic levels right through the game now.

 

[ruskytheruskie]

Ref was weak, that guy falling over was embarrassing, blatant cheating

 

[Govan36]

That one from Denayer was one of the most embarrassing dives I've seen.

Impressed the lineman who was only a couple of yards away mind you

 

[WDYGH]

Referee bought the lot.

He absolutely did. We did commit a couple of stupid fouls when they were penned in but the referee bought their falls all night.

 

[LOL 133]

What about throw ins? Do we not care about keeping the ball from these?

 

[RangersLad1983]

Seems like most teams we play in Europe are full of players that fall over at the slightest gust of wind.

Referee bought the lot.

Every single Dive.

 

[Shengus Malengus]

Cheats being rewarded.

We’ll never rid the game of it with officiating like that.

The ref and EE linesman were atrocious.

 

[RangersLad1983]

“Cheats“ is what you are looking for. Referee was very poor on that front.

The ref should be made to look through the whole game with the ref superviser and explain just why some of those unbelievable fouls were actually given.

 

[Jeb]

That one from Denayer was one of the most embarrassing dives I've seen.

Yup. Imagine the beamer getting home to your kids.

 

[Gios_Gillet]

The foul against Wright at the touchline near the corner flag was a disgrace, he didnt even make contact not even close to touching the player and the lyon players goes down right at the linesmans feet and he still gives the foul, unbelievable.

 

[Govan36]

Not just Europe Willie Collin bought the lot last weekend

That was so infuriating. I was screaming at the TV to roll him off the pitch and carry on. They're a better team than us and don't need to do that. That's probably the worst thing.

 

[Stuart pid]

We need to learn to do this more. As soon as u feel a touch go down play the same as the opposition.

Our players had genuine fouls on them and nothing was given so why dive?

 

[Thedesolateone]

We need to do the same and play the game more intelligently, we’re getting taught by teams who take the boos but win the free kicks and run down the clock.

Agree, I thought the ref was decent in the first half, but the diving from Lyon in the second half was embarrassing, and he fell for it.
