Tevez as a recent example - the defender stood on his foot yesterday.

I think it was Foy(?) who was just 10 yards away. If they can't see that in real time, they shouldn't be refereeing.

Newcastle United defender Ryan Taylor has tweeted: "Ashley Young is an absolute DISGRACE. He's the biggest cheat in the league. His antics are a joke."

Whats the betting Taylor gets more punishment than Young?

[SimonNo7]

the refs have no chance. they get one look at it at speed and some players really know how to hit the deck. the refs need help

They also need to realise that there are two teams on the pitch and just because one of them is near the top of the league they don't have to give everything the top teams way.

If that had been at the other end, I reckon 8 times out of 10 it would not have been given...

Well said Ryan Taylor

To be honest Craig I would say he could get away with it if he played for City, the Arse, Spurs and the Chavs. I agree with you totally that he gets extra for being English...

To be honest, yes you would say that, but the actual evidence doesnt support it i'm afraid.

That's two in a week now for Young. I cant even remember those other clubs BETWEEN them getting two such blatant dives given as penalties across this whole season.

dopey villa fans not even booing young

Booing a Man United player is illegal these days.

Well if one of them is to get punished, it is more likely to be Taylor for bringing the game into disrepute.

Villa sound as though they are going to get absolutely hammered here.

And wasn't it Rio cuntflaplips Ferdinand who was taking to Twitter recently to stop people diving? He only needs to look in his teams dressing room, because Rooney has a tendency for it too.

Well said Ryan Taylor

He'll probably get a ban for that tweet, once ferguson hears about it, but it needs to be said. Ashley Young = cheat.
