Was just about to post would he been in for the same amount of grief young got I doubt it
Both players went down faster than a hooker with a Bogof special, neither should have been.
Young's dive
was worse imo. Not seen anyone
here comment on that though...No gifs for Young eh?.
With Ramires he leaned into the guy, but that defender also leaned
into him (if you watch his path and not just Ramires you can see him lean in at the same moment too). As Ramires had dragged the ball
away from that defender he had no chance of getting to it, so it was a body check, contact made etc.
Ramires made the most of it, and it
shouldn't have been a penalty imo (though I've seen our defenders get penalised for less), but it was a much better shout than Young's was, where he was barely touched at all and went down
after the fact.
And btw, we had a better shout denied earlier in the half. They only showed the replay once and the commentators (Tony Gale, notoriously anti-chelsea) dismissed it immediately, though from what I saw it was a foul. Guess we won't be seeing gif's made for that one though...
Still, the point only saved Jose's 'no loss' Premier League home record for a little longer. It was still 2 points lost we can't afford to be throwing away. Another game we dominated, but still lacking a cutting edge against a determined defence, and not showing nearly enough urgency until we went behind (thanks to a bit of a howler from Cech...Old Petr's getting a wee bit too leaky these days for my liking).
Unless we can get some consistency going we ain't do too well this season.
I wonder if he's taking the blame for the incompetent Woodward, if not then he's more clueless than I thought.
