Shocking cheating by Chelsea. 2 bookings for simulation but the best swan impression didn't lead to a caution as Cahill had already been booked for a tackle that could have been red.
I don't know why, but it bothers me that pundits/commentators use the word simulation now and not diving.
Cahill should have been off but at least refs are finally starting to give out yellow cards for diving, just a bit more consistency needed.
Glad I'm not the only one that doesn't like the use of 'simulation'.
Calling it by another name ('simulation') seems to give it an air of legitimacy and almost sounds as though it's a skill in it's own right! It's diving, plain and simple; so it should just be called that. We don't give hand ball a fancy name do we?
Foy is a disgrace. Absolute bottle job of the highest order. He needs hauling over the coals for that performance. The Cahill decision was nothing short of scandelous.

He has sent Chelsea players off on the last couple of occasions he has been in charge of them, perhaps he had that in his mind.
Lol. Might be some dodgy decisions, but that is genuinely laughable. Especially when you consider the corruption that actually does go on in football. Incompetence? Maybe. Intimidation? Possibly. Corruption? A step too far in this instance.
If the subject matter of this thread was Sepp Blatter, then I would have agreed with you.
