derek1872 548 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Last man is not a rule. Does not exist.Also, changing it from 'we all know Torres dived' to 'let's face it' doesn't change anything. He was caught and perfectly entitled to go down. Whether he did so theatrically or not, Evans caught him and it was a foul. MC got it hugely wrong.This was the one borderline decision he got wrong.

Devlin 222 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 It was a dive. That's my opinion, not arguing about it. Don't take any preference to either team either before anyone asks/assumes.It's not a dive if there's contact, who are you to know what pain Torres can withstand?

Devlin 222 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 No your not. To be honest I think he got the Torres decision wrong. There was contact. He did dive but regardless of that he did get hit. However he shouldn't have still been on the pitch anyway and he is a diving cunt.The goal had nothing to do with him.The first red was stone wall.Some people are bitter cunts.Pretty sure our first arguments would have been about Man U and it's a cliche i stay clear of on here as i find it rather dull, Man Ure are wanks in my opinion but i don't really care about them.However i have to comment on this one and say that no Man U fan should ever be allowed to insult a player of Torres's standard by calling him a diving cunt, see Ashley Young.

I used to call ronaldo and still do a diving cunt. Suarez is the same. These types of players reap what they sow. They have no right to complain when it goes against them.

benbmyers 16 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I support Chelsea, I've read this story about the ref being accused of racial slurs but I just don't buy it, what reason would he have to do it? Btw does anyone actually know what he supposedly said? Think it was to Mata and Mikel Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseyjones 3,009 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Fair enough. Torres didn't dive though.He did dive. Evans got the slightest of touches on his shin, but he went down to ensure that he got the foul. The ref got it wrong.....but so did Torres. The next time he may keep going and allow the official to rule on what happened. The players have brought it all on themselves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Smart arses are only funny when they're being smart.I can't speak for Casey but I certainly wasn't being a smart ass.

The Godfather 71,940 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 If there is contact and you are running at full pelt like Torres was then you go down, he was clearly caught and it was enough to bring him down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen many players over the years who have kept their feet despite contact being made in a challenge. It used to be called riding a tackle.
