Dee Man Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Magennis on Sportsound earlier tonight admitting that he goes down if he feels any contact, light or heavy, in the box. He basically said if he feels any contact in the penalty area then he is going down and giving the ref a decision to make - in other words, he's a dirty, diving cheat. He later attempted to retract his statement in the programme after being told he was getting a barrage of abuse online but the damage had already been done. Hopefully he has just talked himself out of a few stonewallers in future games. It will be on listen again somewhere if anyone can be arsed digging out the link. I can't.

d31 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Always been a very fine line between playing for a penalty and diving. Rooney played for a penalty tonight - it wasnt cheating in that instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_14 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Arjen Robben almost got hailed during the World Cup when he admitted he dived. Bizarre. What I'm saying is, Magennis will soon be as good as Arjen Robben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 His defence for the penalties against us seemed to be that Willie Collum reckoned it was a foul. Flawless argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 His defence for the penalties against us seemed to be that Willie Collum reckoned it was a foul. Flawless argument. Only 10 minutes after Willie Collum had been slated on the same programme for being a shite ref and making some bizarre (non) decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white stripes Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Being a Killie fan would love to defend him but i heard the interview and it made me cringe, was not what i wanted to hear from a Killie player. If i was a ref someone would have to remove Josh's head from his shoulders with an axe before i would give him a penalty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I was only half listening to it but I thought Magennis, backed up by Ryan McGowan, said that managers actively encourage players to go down. That's a far bigger issue than having a go at one player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 As I just said in another thread, you HAVE to go down in the box to get a penalty. Even if your advantage is gone, referees will do the wrong thing and just ignore it. So I don't ever complain if someone goes down easy in the box.

Correct they both said that if you had the chance to win a penalty and did not go down then the manager would put you on the naughty step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I don't have a problem with it, tbh. Get ta f**k. You're the sort that would be red in the face baying for somebody's blood if they went down under minimal contact. Probably boo them throughout the rest of the game. Or do you mean you don't have a problem with it if it's a United player going down or a United manager encouraging it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry94 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 This sort of shite annoys me. Most frustrating thing in the world is watching Clarkson go down with the slightest of contacts in any area and then spending energy screaming and chasing the ref when he could have battled for something. There are times he is genuinely fouled but refs know what he's like so he's unlikely to get the benefit of the doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
