TheMelvillan Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Absolutely disgrace that they even entertained looking at that alleged simulation. It was a clear a penalty as you'll see. If I was jack id be demanding an apology for questioning my character and sportsmanship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the program on Quest and Michael Brown said it was a clear penalty but Jack did well to make sure it was. It was the host that disagreed. The roles were reversed for the Holgate incident where Brown thought he dived and there host thought it was a pen...or at least was paying devil's advocate.

Having players like Grealish & McGinn (knowing they wont easily lose the ball) gives others the confidence to get forward. Can you imagine that picture existing in seasons past? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srsmithusa Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Defender makes a rash challenge. Jack drags his left foot to be sure there is contact and goes down. That's not diving. That's not faking. When Ronaldo, or Bale, or Messi, or Sanchez, or Salah, or Vardy, or Modric, etc. etc. do the same thing it's genius and it's called. there is no rule that says the offended must make every effort to avoid contact on the potential foul. nonsense arguments from leeds and wba notwithstanding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Been watching Jack since the day he came into the first team and can say with some confidence he has never dived. Not once. He's far too good a player to need to dive and clearly has ethics not to cheat instilled in him. He can draw a foul and choses to take the free kick more often than not. He is always the main target of the opposition and their fans, which is a mark of the player he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stevo985 Posted May 14, 2019 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2019 It's a clear foul. It's hilarious that people are so angry about it. Leeds fans saying "What's the difference between Bamford being banned for simulation and Grealish?" Well the main difference is one was a dive and one wasn't. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I would 100% play Hourihane tonight for set piece delivery alone. WBA have made a point of trying to get Grealish banned from the game, they failed and will now resort to kicking him out of the game. Endless free kicks will ensue and we need to take full advantage of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) Most fouled player in the league has never even not once had even a warning for simulation. Yet "DiVeR" Edited May 14, 2019 by VillaJ100 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QldVilla Posted May 14, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 14, 2019 WBA likes other clubs in the Championship have gone out with the instruction to hack down Grealish, then they want to whinge when a penalty is awarded in a vital game? Talk about spitting the dummy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I hope we get back to the prem. His home debut. This is how you protect a player. 3 yellow cards in 5 challenges. In the Championship we'd be lucky if one player was yellow carded. ZoMg He Is A dIvInG bAbY! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the things I hate most about the game these days, leave a leg trailing to you get contact and can go down. I find it really distasteful and is up there with simulation as something I dislike intensely. That said, it has become the norm and defenders know if there's contact and the attacker goes down, it's likely to lead to a free kick/penalty. That's just how the rules are interpreted. I don't think there was enough contact on Jack to send him down but he made sure there was contact as he knew the foul would be awarded. I wish it wasn't part of the current game but it is and there's been plenty more contentious fouls given than that one so I don't know why WBA, Leeds, etc are getting so exercised about it. It's all in the past now and hopefully we won't be on the receiving end of such a decision in the next two matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd be absolutely fuming if someone shoved one of our players like that and it wasn't given. Tammy got very, very lucky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
