Striker
if he'd dragged him back or touched his feet, which impedes his run then he dives to tell the ref he's been fouled, that's fine but he let his legs go like jelly takes the risk he won't be fouled as is what happened

I remember watching Laurence Dallaglio still moving forward with 3 or 4 shaved apes hanging off him, they should get the video tape of that then beat the living piss out of any fruity pundit that comes out with shite like that . No the wonder football's fucked......
You're entitled to shout at the telly. That's something that has always been part of the game since the early days of MotD

Sunderland are crap at all this "professional" gamesmanship.
We need Hutch back as a coach.

Funnily enough, the best player I've seen do it for us is Rose...a spurs player!
The difference I suppose is Dallaglio et al are trained to stay on their feet and carry on running, where this lot of namby pambies are actually coached when and how to go to ground.
The contact debate is utter rubbish. Contact does not equal a foul.
Steve H said:Agreed - it is utter rubbish, and comes from ex player pundits.
The thing about gareth bale is if you attempt to hack him over in the middle of the park, he just brushes off the opposing player with ease......people just bounce off him.....yet as soon as he's in the penalty area he's got the stability of bambi in stilettos.......no the wonder refs think he's trying to con them........
As someone posted in another thread on the subject. Look at how fast Rugby wingers run and are ankle tapped they tend to stumble and even stay on their feet sometimes. The way footballers go down from a "clip" is completely unnatural.
A lot of these Rugby wingers are actually travelling faster than footballers and I don't recall seeing one collapse like that from a "clip".
Something I have noticed over the last few games is how good Colback is at drawing a foul from the opposition to ease the pressure.
For me, this is absolutely the correct answer.
I don't understand how a player can be moving at pace and be clotheslined (arm across chest) but fall forwards. Surely he should be falling backwards![]()
The 'there was no contact so it can't be a foul' brigade are more annoying, imo.
Maybe I'm just plain stupid, but if there's no contact, how can it be a foul?
