Great Reffing?

[DrRoCkSo_46 6]

soo James Neal obviously embellished. The video clearly shows it. And the referee called him out with foul language.

So with that should referees call players out like this any time someone dives/embellishes?

Yes they should. And the players should be forced to wear a Pinnochio long nose while doing the jailtime.

Also, you should have posted this in the newly created Around the league thread, I think. At least I would have.

Good to see that ref hates Neal as much as I do.

Pulkinen is a diver too. So is nyquist. We can ***** and moan all we want about these other guys but the sad fact is we've got players who are just as bad.

Nyquist is not AS bad tho. One time offender - assuming he learned his lesson. Neal was so blatant and repeat offender.

But that's the thing. Nyquist still does it. He just hasn't been caught for a while, obviously not as blatantly as Neal, but I've noticed him doing it here and there still

Lots of players do, if a coach tells you to go draw a penalty that's what your going to try to do.

I hate diving. But, acting like your face got mauled when a stick comes close, but makes no contact.... and holding the opponents stick under your arm purposefully to draw a hooking call are just as unsportsmanlike, in my opinion. It's just diving that gets the attention, though.

yes. so should players when ref embellishes a call

Man, I have recalled so many good words I have always wanted to tell these moronic zebras just watching this video:

while neal's diving event simply proves this SOB is POS, pulk's and nyquist's are rather exceptions (that do not prove anything .

As much as I dislike Neal and think he deserved a diving penalty, I don't think any ref should say "f*** you" to a player. Keep it respectful. They're not the ones that are supposed to be emotionally involved in the game.

Exactly my thought. that's why I don't like soccer. It's filled with embelishment and fake injuries to "play" the clock and make a boring game even worse.

Great vid, really frustrating to watch all those good goals disallowed by those awful calls,
