Genie Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 What are we thinking about Greece's chances? Had a fiver on Holland (BTTS) and Greece just to qualify, returns £46, been offered £22 to cash out....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 That's what Ashley Young does, Robben is a cheat, no defence, ref was happy to give it. name me a player that doesn't dive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaajax Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Just because it's Robben doesn't mean it's a dive. The replays show clear contact whether you like it or not. Nothing is said about the incident where was was fouled twice, even worse than the penalty he got, and didn't get a penalty. One of you even said I was looking at the match with orange tinted glasses. Perhaps you should take your anti-Robben glasses off for a second? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packoman Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) Just because there is contact doesn't mean it's a foul. Touching his foot wouldn't make him fall over. Edited June 29, 2014 by packoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of you even said I was looking at the match with orange tinted glasses. Perhaps you should take your anti-Robben glasses off for a second? like I said, it was both. There was contact. It was a foul IMO. BUT there's no way that contact was enough to send Robben sprawling the way he did. So it was a dive. But in this case it doesn't change the fact that it was also a foul, if that makes sense! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 It's not a dive, it's a shit to see pike and a twist to make sure that the ref saw it but there was contact, Marquez should know better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Shit like that from Robben is ruining the game. Wish Fifa would clamp down on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Just because there is contact doesn't mean it's a foul. Touching his foot wouldn't make him fall over. There's minimal contact (or none at all). Not enough to stop Robben continuing his run. He just decided to cheat instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 There was contact. It was a foul IMO. First part I agree with, no way way was it a foul. Did you forget that football was a contact sport? Feet are allowed to touch within the rules. There is absolutely no way that touch, caused that reaction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in this case it doesn't change the fact that it was also a foul, if that makes sense! I do get what you mean, he did draw the referee's attention but the fact of the matter is, it is a foul in the penalty area. Just because it's Robben doesn't mean it's a dive. The replays show clear contact whether you like it or not. Nothing is said about the incident where was was fouled twice, even worse than the penalty he got, and didn't get a penalty. One of you even said I was looking at the match with orange tinted glasses. Perhaps you should take your anti-Robben glasses off for a second? Irrelevant. He only had once half shout for a penalty, the other was a dive. He's a disgrace. Marquez steps on his toes, not really a foul, his right knee then comes across as Robben goes to move and then takes Robben's right leg. Here we see the earlier incident Marquez misses the ball and instead gets the back of Robben's heel. That's a penalty. Then Herrera (I think) comes in, completely misses the ball and takes Robben's leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Look at his body language, he's going to dive before any contact is made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voinjama Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 It's a shame the Robben dive has overshadowed what has been a good game. Well the second half anyway. I think this one will run and run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 There's simply no reason or enough contact to explain why Robben went down, the only explanation is simulated contact to win a penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
