I think Januzaj was a dive, although I detest shirt grabbing I can only accept that it is apparently legal despite the rules because it happens to everyone, by everyone. Obviously it's still against the rules if you grab the shirt of the referee, though! But I don't think ADM was a dive. It was going down a bit soft, but it wasn't a dive, because he was twisted from the arm grab, you can't run when that happens. Ref had no view of it though as it happened from the opposite side.Originally Posted by Psychotic
welp
tbf United are probably the worst divers in the league so you can't say it wasn't coming. Hope the ref books Rooney for not stfuing and screaming about every single decision next.
ADM is an exaggerator, though, to be sure. He rolled around like an idiot beforehand and it was embarrassing.
Still think we've been the better team overall though. Frustrating.
EDIT: Just going back to shirt pulling, I really do think they should just hold their hands up and make shirt-grabbing legal so we don't have to get so pissed off about it. Then the clubs and manufacturers can do what they did in rugby and make shirts so damned tight and slippery you can't get a good grip on them at all to counter that.
