Just had a look and Akinde has scored 10 from the spot so far this season,not sure if all the fouls were on him but he's perhaps one of those sort of players that can be very effective at conning referees,he does go down quite often with very little contact in the games I've seen him play. Still a good striker though   UTM.

Akinde reminds me of Jack Lester when it comes to "winning" penalties....doesnt necessarily dive but invites the challenge and goes over....love it when its for you...hate it when its against..

I don't think there was any great doubt about his penalty at BP. Toto got himself turned than bustled into Akinde from behind so that looked to me more of a case of the defender being at fault than the forward looking for it.

Lots of clumsy defenders at this level, I suppose!

Hats off to the ref last night, a lot would (and have in the past(when they were good)) buckled under the pressure of being at Old Trafford.

That Januzaj kid needs to up his diving game, wouldn't be surprised to see him sent on a month's loan to Gateshead.

Quoted from RichMariner
I think the pundits have to take some responsibility for eradicating diving from the game.

Just last weekend we had Alan Shearer and Ruud Gullit arguing on MOTD that Sam Vokes of Burnley should've thrown himself to the ground in order to win a penalty. They claimed (rightly or wrongly) that players need to hit the ground in order to get a decision from the ref....One thing is for sure - pundits can't argue that players should hit the deck in order to convince referees. That's the root of this problem, which is why it made Shearer and Gullit look like complete idiots.


A few weeks ago Trevor Sinclair as pundit on MOTD2 said diving was 'a skill.'   A completely ridiculous comment to make; thankfully the presenter and journalist disagreed with him. But Robbie Savage didn't.

Idiocy.

Yes indeed. That's a sort of halfway house between standing up and taking a dive untouched. This was the method Franny Lee used to perfection.

Norman Buck who passed away the other week, a fine local player in the family tradition, demonstrated this technique to me many moons ago.


“If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.”
