We cannot get penalties in the Natinal League when opposition defenders literally pull the shirt off one of our forwards or punch the ball with two hands into the Kop yet 5 officials on the pitch tonight cannot spot a blatant case of cheating to win a penalty
Surely the permanat use of VAR at the highest level matches would eliminate theseevents on the pitch

Makes those officials next to the goal even more pointless.

He didn’t dive. He kicked the ground. Should he have owned up? Probably. Would he own up? Never. Refs fault, not Sterling.

Sorry but look at the height he gained when he eventually fell over
Surely if he did not mean to kick the floor deliberately he would have just fallen over?

So Sterling didnt intend to cheat but once he realised the ref had given the penalty, surely by not owning up he is now cheating?
Of course he's never going to own up, but he can't be excused of any part in the wrong decision.

You don't think he meant to do that do you?

Except he didn’t dive and didn’t even appeal for it

Seriously
If I played 90 minutes all season for City I’d get 20 goals
He’s a complete headless chicken with the ball at his feet
For England, surrounded by decent if not world class footballers, he’s an absolute joke, City’s ballers carry him,
Barcelona?
If they wanted him they’d buy him, couldn’t tie Mahrez’s laces

I’m sure if Hines trips himself up in the box and wins a joke penalty on Saturday we will all be giving him grief for not owning up and demanding he deliberately misses the pen.
