adamefc1 Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 (edited) Does Anyone Know Why Andy Johnson Constantly Gets Booed At Away Grounds? At Sunderland Today I Have Know Idea Why But He Was Constantly Booed. Somehow It Could Be This "Rep" He Has For Diving. Maybe Its Cozz Hes A Good Player Whichever Way Im Confused =S Edited March 9, 2008 by adamefc1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Everyone thinks that he dives. I know so many people that dispise him. Its unfair really. Refs think he has a bad rep as well which is not good becasue he now gets perfectly viable penaltys turned away. How people can say he's still dives to win penaltys when we havn't had a penalty in the league all season bemuses me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 yesterday it was because the Ref made some shocking decisions in the first 20 mins, not giving Sunderland a few free kicks, then Johnson went down under a semi hard tackle and got a Free kick. The crowd were on his back all game after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueboy122 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Never Have I Seen To This Day Andrew Johnson Dive. Really Annoys Me Wen People Says He Does Cus He Doesnt And Never Has. I Have Seen Him Go Down Easily But Thats Different He Never Looks For The Penalty Tho. I Cant Stand It Wen People Say He Dives!!! Torres Is The Diver On Merseyside Along With Gerrard!!!

jacko 1990 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) I cant recall the Game, but he has had a cheeky little dive, and your calling Torress a diver when personally i think he does all he can to stay on his feet, And also are you forgetting our Very own Mikel Arteta?

Madmatt Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Have to say torres looks to stay on his feet most of the time, but he has taken a few dives in the box when there hasnt been contact. Gerrard is awful for it, and will be caught out by it im sure one day. Arteta Is different, he will go down with minimal contact. If it was in the park and one of ur mates did it to u, it wouldnt be a foul, but he does look for the freekick alot, but i wouldnt say he is a diver. Johnson is different, he doesnt dive at all. He is so quick, that any little knock throws him off balance, i think he tries to stay on his feet as much as possible these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko 1990 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 It doesnt matter what he does theirs no way a Ref is going to give him a penalty even after the Blackburn game???? where the defender just kicked him off he ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlmc25 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Torres did make a bit of a meal of the Materazzi challenges it has to be said, but I wouldn't call him a diver, the same way as when Arteta gets knocked he goes down, which I think is fair enough. Gerrard is obviously a diver, I think we can all recognise that one. I have to also say that AJ used to go down pretty dubiously in his early Everton career, recently he has tried staying on his feet more and he obviously should have won about 10 legitimate pens in his time with us, but there are still occasions he goes down easily, he just doesn't appeal for them anymore. Then again, the way football is going it appears that nearly every player goes down if someone brushes them in a dangerous area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko 1990 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) Its the way Gerrard Appeals for the penalty that annoys me the most, he gets up and if its not given he's their blowing his fucking lid of at the Ref arms out huffing and puffing saying to the ref WTF, im stevie G give me a Pen!
