Too little too late

Ibra should have been booked for petulance. Damn.

[geysir]

The reason for his act of petulance was that the goalie (correctly) called him an effin diving cheat.

[ArdeeBhoy]

Let's hope that Ibra shows up in Dublin?

[paul_oshea]

What the one that dives and win penalties?

[ArdeeBhoy]

That has to resort to cheating...
Just hope lightening doesn't strike twice?

Seamus Coleman might push him in the box, and then David Forde saves the resulting penalty but the rebound hits ibras left leg and dribbles through Fordes legs.

Coleman doesn't give away penalties. Geysir and myself have discussed this at length in his thread and came to the conclusion he is a "lucky" player.

The penalty will be given away by John O'Shea.

[ArdeeBhoy]

No, Paul McShane. Or Whelan when they gracelessly collide...

It has to be said, under Trap we have an excellent record re penalties in competitive games.
We have won 5 and conceded none.

I will hunt you down if we concede one...

Bit like Gary Player who famously said "the harder I practise the luckier I get", although he himself attributes that phrase to fellow golfer Jerry Barber.

Some players have a knack of knowing when they will be able to get away with a foul, Diego Maradonna springs to mind!!!

I expect the natural clumsy players tend to have more penalties awarded against them, I would say if a referee knows a particular player is pretty crap he is more likely to award a penalty against him and that a player who has has a reputation for making good tackles is more likely to get away with a foul.
