jamamafegan Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Players should always be looking to stay on their feet in the box. Simple as that. What a tit this boy is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 This reminds me of what Danny Swanson said after his shameful dive got Steven Anderson sent off in 2011: "I kind of read him coming in and took a fall. I wouldn't say I dived. "I thought he did catch me. I have been knocked, I felt a contact and went down. I knocked it far in front of me, I saw the leg and went over it. "The gaffer called it before the game, he said that if you get running at them someone will get sent off. That's what I did and that's what happened. "I don't want to get people sent off but I want to do as much to help my team as possible." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForzaDundee Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hopefully they bring back the death penalty for people like Magennis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 He is only saying what many players do week in week out. Most players would go down like Dee Man's mum given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Pawlett is worse. IMO. Yeah what's that all about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie95 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 He should be made to apologise to every fan of a club he won a penalty against or spend an hour in a room with Dryhorce and his 'great' Scotland selections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 He deserves a kick in his Killie peh, probably. I sometimes wish Thistle players would be a bit more canny in the box though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quitongo's Left Peg Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Also amusing to see everyone so worked up about big Josh, probably because of their (St Mirren fans, especially) writing him off in the summer that has proved pretty silly. Hasn't played upfront every week, far from it, and has scored five this season. To put that in context, St Mirren - the club that rejected him the summer, have only managed ten home goals between the entire team. David Goodwillie has only scored one more in a far better team. You could double the goalscoring record of any current St Mirren player and they'd still be a goal behind Josh. He should have scored more, that's without question, but I'd take him over plenty of current Premiership strikers. Lee Miller included. He has his very obvious flaws, finishing being one of them. But he's been a good addition to the squad this season and his hard work will continue to pay off. What he said on Sportsound was that if a player clips him or someone makes a rash challenge in the box then he'll take advantage of that. I wonder how many players wouldn't?

Quitongo's Left Peg Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Comparing Magennis to Goodwillie I didn't compare the two. I was putting five league goals in context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggr Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 He deserves a kick in his Killie peh, probably. I sometimes wish Thistle players would be a bit more canny in the box though I know what you mean. I sometimes wish Dougie Imrie would play for a foul or penalty, rather than always trying to stay on his feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P45 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I think he's a decent player. But it can really be a shock to anyone that's seen him that he loves a dive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy boo Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 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. Yes it bloody was cheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 It works both ways, how often to you see defenders under pressure from a striker and as soon as he puts his hand on the defender,he falls down and gets a free kick. I think he cheated to get the penalties against us but he's right, Collum fell for it. He chanced his arm and it paid off. Footballers must have a unwritten rule between them, they are pals off the pitch but I think sportsmanship goes out the window and the majority would do anything to get the 3 points. Same with managers, is anyone actually surprised to hear about managers encouraging players to dive? That's why you hardly see any of them condone it if there player is guilty of it. It's their livelihood at stake, dog eat dog ect . Strachan was spot on when he said there are no morals in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabFC Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 What? Rooney's dive tonight wasn't cheating? Fucking hell. Well it was Wayne Rooney, so it couldn't be To credit Magennis, he is only being honest about something the majority of players now do. Look at Rooney last night - Neville and the owl were falling over backwards to defend him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
