Celtic player sent off for diving

Post by Bring Back Pires »

This happened during today's game at Hibernian. From BBC:

"In the 63rd minute, McGeady was issued his second yellow and sent in for an early bath following a challenge from Hanlon.

Referee Dougie McDonald decided that no contact had been made and the Republic of Ireland international was dismissed for simulation."

I sincerely hope that the SFA will be contacting UEFA to complain, and that the media will treat this exactly the same way as the Eduardo case.

Shame on Celtic too. Acting all high and mighty in the week, and then show their true colours by doing the same themselves in their very next match.

And I thought Eboue was a mug for diving soon after the Eduardo furore. Well I too shall be expecting Celtic's top brass to be complaining in public about a diver. Wouldn't hold my breath though.

Wenger actually listed a load of players who should be banned if Eduardo is to be in his MOTD interview. I think this charge has really stung and he'll kick up any fuss he can to show up the hypocrites. Though I still havent seen any press on Ashley Young's dive.... :roll:

UEFA have no inention to look at every dive, or ban every cheat...

Taylor said...

"this is about the image of football.

"We only look at matters of a serious nature that the referee did not see. The regulations allow for this type of action but they are only used sparingly.

"It's all about the severity of the alleged deception. This is nothing new.

In other words, don't expect Ashley Young or McGeady to be banned, or anyone else other than Eduardo for that matter :roll: because this type of action will only be used sparingly when UEFA deem it to reflect badly on the image of football.

So, this has been a trial by media, and even though Eduardo's dive was nothing new, the attention caused by the media and the Scottish FA has brought it to UEFA's attention.

It's utter bollocks, really... and certainly not about justice. If the media and Arsenal had kicked up a similar fuss when Rooney dived against us, or Babel, maybe UEFA would have looked at it, but as we didn't and as the press chose to turn a blind eye, it's Eduardo who gets punished and not crunts like Robben, Van Nistelrooy, Gerrard, Drogba, Ronaldo or any of the other serial divers.

Saw the incident, 2nd yellow for the alleged dive looked harsh...but I agree with the sentiments here! Rooney did exactly the same as Eddy but he's clever and he drew the challenge, who can blame him for going down....whereas Eduardo is a cheat! :banghead:

I doubt the club will take this lying down though and will present a case to get this brushed under the carpet.
