Truly, Ebue deserved more credit than he is getting. Diving and lying is part of football. What happened to hand of God? Even if Eduardo dived, is it copared to the offence of breaking his leg. Clubs are favoured one time or the other and our tome just came. Celtic are too rough. Was it referee that caused them to also lose at home?

Forgot Bendtner’s, thanks for pointing that out. I think Eboue’s rating is fair. He got very lazy towards the end.

I can’t believe your eboue rating. He didn’t do well last season and got the knocks. His goal wasn’t even mentioned and what happened to bendtner’s rating.

@ 1.

Eduardo took a touch around Boruc, by which time it was too late to avoid contact by staying on his feet so Eduardo went to ground in an effort to minimise the contact. He did not put his legs in the way, instead he jumped over Boruc. There was no contact and it was not a penalty, but I don’t think Eduardo tried to con the referee, hence why he did not appeal for the decision.

you need not worry about diving…all that matters is winning…no matter how pretty or ugly it is..thats what you all want …and winning the ugly way even counts and which was missing

I am a massive Eduardo fan and this was disappointing. There was also no need as we were bossing the game. he had the opportunity to make a good name for himself by getting up and telling the ref it wasn’t a penalty. That makes the right kind of headlines. Unfortunately, he will now be castigated by the press for the rest of the week.

I thought Eboue deserved more than 7.5 but then he will never be given the credit he deserves for some reason

He looked like he was trying to avoid contact, which is understandable given his previous injury luck

then why did he not only leave his leg in harms way, but tried to move it towards where the ’supposed’ contact was coming from?

im sure you criticised Babel when he dived for a penalty a few years ago, and until everyone stands up and completely condemns DIVING, this will go on and on.

You have made yourself sound like a very uneducated man, which I am sure you are not, with your attempts at justifying CHEATING
