Straya - A-League and State Leagues
With all the niggle Glory has been doing all game, I wanted the Victory to come back and win. But after that handball & dive, I really want the Glory to win now.
I've become a reluctant Victory supporter despite my best efforts, but them winning will be shit.

Glory had this game won. They were better for much of the game. You have to take your chances. The missed handball is one of those things that happen, especially when you let things slip.
Slater talks such bollocks it makes my brain melt. He really is a halfwit.

That stuff about Nagai being fouled was questionable as fuck.

I think the Gillett hate will spare Smeltzy the blame from Glory fans for those great chances he missed tonight. He has been really poor all season.
Classic Sky cut off , aaaaand we're out.
Yeah cuuuuunnnnnnnttttss
I was hoping somebody would make a gif of that. Hilarious.
I thought it was an enjoyable game to watch. Nagai is a good player - like a Japanese Totori. With all the controversy about the handball for the Victory penalty, it seems no one noticed the massive, cheating dive. Shocking stuff
All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight
There was contact so you can hardly call it a dive but certainly not enough for it to be called a foul or for him to go down. Had that been in the centre of the pitch, play on. He just milked it and the ref bough a massive dummy
Grumpy old bastard alert
football is a contact sport, so there is allowed to be contact. Was that contact the reason he fell to the ground? No, the dive was.

It's similar to the Nagai penalty should in the box at the other end of the field that was turned down. There was contact, but there wasn't enough contact to warrant a foul, therefore the penalty was (correctly) denied that time.
A dive implies no contact. He simply milked the contact he got. I would not be calling that a dive, just play on.

A dive (or simulation according to FIFA) is feigning a foul, either with or with contact.

i think my definition of simulation is similar but slightly different to FIFAs, as I have learnt from 2B's post in here. I class anything that is an attempt to decieve the referee as simulation, whereas I class a dive to be one instance of simulation, where the player goes to ground without contact and appeals to the referee for a foul.
But yeah, you are right, they are actually one and the same.
