the art of milking it

Posted by christeel on August 1, 2017 at 6:42am
There seems to be a growing trend in players being tackled trying to get up quickly to play the ball then tangle themselves up with the tacklers . That's called milking ( hoping for a penalty ) some get away with it, also stripping of a ball , weather players get away with it or not , surely the bunker has to at some time intervene to tell the referees to over turn if they mistakenly awarded a wrong penalty in fact at any given time they've given the wrong call. If it's time consuming so be it , to lose a game by a heartbreaking wrong decision by the ref because they didn't see it, but everyone's watching it on the big screen replay , we'll need i say more

    Milking it not Alvaro has been in great form of late but has a real issue with these penalties. Needs to learn to retreat quickly as he is being targeted every match.

      Yeah T.C i noted that ( alvaro )

    I actually think milking was worse the last few years, last year an attacker could place the ball on the defenders foot while they were on still the ground and win a penalty. At least this year they have to rise to their feet.
    The least the bunker gets involved the better

      Yes AL , to a certain degree least involved, but geez mate , I'd be happy or gutted in golden point time, come finals time etc

    Teams that constantly try to milk the penalties tend to be the same teams that whinge at the ref constantly too. It grinds my gears.
    And dumb footballers who try to milk a play the ball penalty on the first tackle or when the team is on a roll and needs a quick play the ball. Aarrrgh. JUST PLAY THE DAMN BALL!!!!

    This blog is not at all what I thought it would be about . . . . . 

    I thought it would be about one of three of my many and varied interests;

    Masturbation

    Lactating ladies 

    or

    Dairy Farming.

"I'm not suggesting throwing Lorenzo or any other young player in there now, they aren't ready, my point is they still won't be ready for a start in 2027 either so are we going to sign another 1 year stop gap 6 for 2027?."
