2017/18 Oumar Niasse

[GwladysBlue]

Nobody is denying he exaggerated it. It is a fact that there was contact, albeit minimal.

My issue is that I know that this elected panel will definitely NOT be consistent throughout the season.

 

[JLW]

Hate all the diving lark myself mate, and I would have been spitting feathers if that decision been made against us.

And no doubt that will happen against us soon!! Probably the Derby

 

[sageyefc]

The Kopite rat practically close lined him

 

[Abraders]

I'd only argue there is a conspiracy if some just as blatant dives vs ourselves aren't picked up on in the future.

Come on lads don’t morph into simulation technical body language experts now. It’s clear he’s snided the defender for a penno.

He did but there was 'contact' just as in hundreds of other incidents that go unpunished every season.

 

[chicoazul]

Yeah, but if the was half decent he'd have seen it and given him a yellow card.
The ref didn't see it so he'll more then likely end up with a two match ban because the Ref was incompetent.

I know the answer is "Because we're Everton Lad", but why do we have to pay the price for incompetent officials?
Surely the Ref should get the two match ban instead for missing it?

Things happen fast and the ref can’t be expected to see everything. Niasse has conned the ref clearly and I’m glad there’s now accountability. It will make him and others think before cheating in future, including against us lads.

 

[SiEdmo]

A little tap on the shoulder is contact.

It's not enough to make you fall over though, even if running at full tilt.

So basically its not as simple as "there was contact"

ethically speaking yes, but "contact" in any form has been used to discount diving before,

I don't think anyone is saying hes a saint here, but why is he the first sinner taken to task on it?

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Why??? Should we pat him on the back??

It wasn't a dive. He received contact, went down which he is within his right to do, didn't appeal and won a penalty which got us back into the game. He also then scored himself to level it up when, again, we were losing. He's also been arguably one of our better, more hard-working players in recent times.

So yeah, let's give him a severe punishment for that.

Again... don't chat bollocks.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Come on lads don’t morph into simulation technical body language experts now. It’s clear he’s snided the defender for a penno.

There's been at least 3 penalties with much less contact where there's been no action taken. I'd be fine with him being done if there was consistency. We won't ever see a top 6 player done despite these clubs being the worst repeat offenders. I think it's farcical tbh. That incident is a foul 100% outside the box every single time. So why a dive inside the box?

Join us in wallowing in victimhood Azul lol

 

[JLW]

For being oumar

Fair do’s he does makes me smile!

 

[chicoazul]

I commend the support for our boy lads, I’m sure Oumar truly feels he will never walk alone from your comments.

Getting the 'free oumar' t shirts ready as we speak

But the punishment for Diving is a yellow. Fair enough, stick a yellow on his record.
How can they justify a 2 match ban because the Ref didn't see it?

 

[Milkman]

And if it happened against us Milko? Exactly man. I applaud the FA for showing some cajones.

It did, about 40 times at home to Arsenal. No penalties, but constant simulation from their players. It's good that they're doing something about it, but it just exposes how stupid some people that analyse football for a living actually are. For the record, the panel didn't class this as a dive.

 

[sageyefc]

Davies has shown himself to be a terrible diver this season, don't see many in his thread criticising him
