I see the media have got a United angle to push the diving story
Where was all this £#%&!ing soul-searching/hype until Young got booked the other day eh?
Apparently his was a clear and blatant dive punishable by suspension. So let's look at the evidence: He ran at a defender who planted his left leg in the path of Young's natural course. Now it's true that Young has a stupid way of ensuring he doesn't get whacked, but had he ran normally then the defender would have tripped him anyway, because he had already planted his leg. This happened in a split second, so where exactly was Young supposed to put his left leg so that it didn't connect with the defender's leg? Be interesting to see if anybody actually agrees that this is not as clear-cut a case as people are making out. |

I had the same conversation earlier. Yes he ran into the player and went down too easily but the defender had stuck his leg out and I don't think I saw Young appealing for a penalty. I know that doesn't excuse a dive but players are allowed to go to ground without being booked I assume.
And yet we've got the usual "blight on the game", "5 match ban" shite that usually follows an incident involving one of our players. No mention of Evra's penalty that should have been given either. @#%&!s. |

Had a work mate try to tell me that Utd had coached Young to dive. He was just as prolific a diver at Villa but it was never an important media issue as it has been in his time at Utd.
You can argue that it was a pen but Young is always looking for it. I should be wanting to back and defend the Utd player but he has had it coming over his entire career. I do not mind players going down to protect from potential injury and poor play from defenders should be punished. However when you have a player like Young who seems to have the priority of dive first-shoot second it is hard to have any sympathy for him. |

The fact that other players do it and get away with it is irrelevant. I don't want to watch United players doing it at all but if they have to, they should be much better at than Young is. Fully intend to join in the boo's the silly @#%&! will no doubt now get. |

It's quite simple....
Take away trialling legs, position, intent, real time speed etc... It's the disgusting way he arches his whole spine and squeals like a pig when he's knocked physically by an opponent.. He looks for fouls...unsure of his own ability he takes the cowards way out.. |

His chairman is a #@&%! though. You can always guarantee that these £#%&!ers will use United to try and gain some sympathy can't you - last season Martinez and Allardyce to name but two, and now already Palace are at it |

United are an easy target because the general perception is that we don't get decisions given against us. I remember when Liverpool got a penalty awarded at Old Trafford about 9 years back and the stat popped that it was the first penalty given against us at Old Trafford in about 10 years. Ignoring the possible fact that in that period no penalty chance occurred. |
