Simulation

It annoys the fuck out of me when commentators say a player is being booked for 'simulation' (on MOTD tonight), it is not simulation it is fucking CHEATING

100%, and if proven post game they should be given a punishment equal to what they'd have got if seen at the time.

... AND given Chinese Burns, covered in white paint and made to play 4 games with 'Cheating Fckr' on the back of his shirt.

Yep often also described normally now as clever play

[TrickyTrotter]

And the pundits said he didn’t deserve a yellow.  Dragged his rear foot along the ground to ensure contact with the defender.

"he bought the foul" boils my piss while we're at it.

Diouffy was great at falling over when he had nowhere to go.

Campo too. He'd also grab the ball while on the ground so the ref had to give it 😂

I was at a NHL ce Hockey game in the US and one of the players got sin binned or such like, none of the Yanks really understood why, and I certainly didn't.

Anyway it got announced he had been reprimanded for 'embellishment'!! I don't think it very common in Ice Hockey given the local's reaction, but thought it was a great word for it!!

In basketball they call it flopping which has always made me chuckle

That was a tremendous thing he did. Not sure what I'd think if I was an opponent though 🤣

?

Simulation techniques?

Or visions of Cowdrill’s locks channeling his inner future Campo?

Wasn't 'simulation' coined by that bent cunt Blatter? The word should be eradicated from the game for that fact alone.

Campo. Do you think he could be a wing-back ?

When commentators and pundits come out with “well there was contact “ as if excusing it, because a touch like a pickpocket flattens a thirteen stone athlete.

If same athlete scores a goal there will be half a dozen other athletes piling on him but he carries on unflattened.

I get a lot of stick down here from AFL fans because of play acting in 'soccah'.

Fair enough really but their game has become far too sanitised and free kicks given for three fifths of fuck all. When I first arrived here, the teams would come out on to the pitch and knock seven shades of shit out of each other before the game even started.

All this 'simulation' bollocks was always prevalent on the European mainland. We used to be above that and take the piss out of it but now of course, we don't have teams made up entirely of British players any more. Import the magical skills, import the 'simulation' with it and it seems to have been infectious.
