Correct, but for you too mention
"It's a pity you haven't included the rest of SAF's comments on going down easily" you obviously believe him

Alfie I think you're missing my point. All managers play mind games and waffle on at press conferences. You picked up on the waffle about SAF 'having a word with Young' (and I for one will take that with a pinch of salt) but missed what I thought was a more genuine and accurate point about referees not giving penalties unless a player goes to ground. He went on to cite Gigg's record of a player seemingly being penalised for being genuine and trying to stay on his feet.
All ABU's want to slate SAF at every opportunity but I thought it was a point well made and wanted to highlight it ...............nothing more, nothing less

So old red nose has spoken to Ashley about diving, the conversation probaly went something like this, "i told you to fall over a lot but did you have to make it so F*cking obvious".
Do people really think that Ferguson gives a toss on how Young get's penaties if it means the difference between winning and losing !

You don't get it do ya, saf comments in the public domain and what he ses in private are probaly 2 different things, he's hardly going to say in public that he tells his players to dive !
No, you don't get it do ya,

It's a pity you haven't included the rest of SAF's comments on going down easily.Namely that Ryan Giggs, a player who always tries to stay on his feet, has only ever been awarded five penalties in over TWENTY YEARS. Now, with his skills, I should think due to that length of time alone he has probably been in the penalty box, and been fouled, more than any other player in the history of the premiership, but because he doesn't go to ground the penalty appeals get ignored.
Helps to back up what I was suggesting i a previous post, that these days a referee will only give a penalty if the player ends up on the deck,........... hence ALL teams have their divers.
