If he wasn't looking to get a pen, why did he look straight over to the ref? You don't do that if you just fall over. It's a crystal clear dive to try to con the ref into giving a penalty.
Even better, they had a real chance of going through then.
Maybe, but what 'm saying is, when a player is running towards the by-line and another player tackles him, it's very common for the attacker to end up on his arse, dive or not. You'd have to ban someone in every game of football being played if you want bans for that.

Yes, if he gets tackled, or trying to cross at full pelt. Sterling did neither! He just fell over when he saw the tackle coming, expecting to be caught, but he wasn't. How is it not a dive then? If that's not a dive, then nothing is.
Well, either way, the refs have phucked Swansea today. Wasn't a penalty and the winner was offside.
Sometimes, I do wonder if the game is just crooked.
Does seem that way.
If you were going to make sure City won the 2nd half, but do so in a way that just gets put down to incompetence, an iffy penalty and letting City forwards go into offside positions without flagging would be a good way to go about it imo. We know it's happened in other countries, we know City's owners are dodgy as phuck. Even VAR won't mean sh1t, refs just interpret stuff in ridiculous ways to get to the decision they want.

It's almost like it would good to do it like rugby; the ref makes a decision and asks another to confirm if it needs changing.
Trust in the officials.

A few incidents today showed the quality of the rugby refs. In one case the referee said the on-field call was a try and told the official to look at two issues, which ended up overturning his initial call. He wasn't asking for confirmation of his call, but specifically asking for it to be challenged, accepting that he could be wrong.

It's bloody video replays, how hard can it be to get it installed? You could fit every football ground in the top four divisions with VAR for the price of one week of Özil's wages.
Ridiculous argument if that's what they're using. Plus It's Swansea, not Bath City or Corkscrewers United we're talking about.
