Hughes- WTF is he on about?!

Blackburn manager Mark Hughes:
"I felt John Terry went down very easily. The penalty completely changed the game.
"If we go down that road we're going to have three penalties in every match. There was no chance it was a penalty.

"We had a real claim when Jason Roberts had his shirt pulled. Overall we were much the better side."

Terry didn't go down easily. If you think Roberts should've had a penalty (granted, I too think he should), how the f*ck can you say Terry (who had 2 whole arms around him) didn't deserve a penalty? Yeah, brilliant logic Marky So by Hughes logic, anyone who is pulled about and has arms around them doesn't deserve a PK/FK (whether or not he did go down easily - I believe not. Nevertheless, how on earth anyone can say it wasn't one is beyond me )

Plus, "we were the better side" It wasn't a good game, and Blackburn were on top first 25-30 minutes, but after their energy levels dropped and we'd soaked it all up, we were much the better side imo. (maybe I'm bias on this opinion, I'm not sure , but I just think Hughes is being really bitter here)

A big picture of the JT penalty incident with the headline : "DIVE BOMB"

Perhaps he did go down easily, but I don't think it warrants that kind of reaction, seeing as it was defo a penalty.

There are more 'Important' stories than John Terry being alleged as a 'diver' (well if such allegations are made, you don't blame a newspaper of the calibre as the Sun not to print it as a back page headline..)

More proof imo that we are despised by the tabloid newspapers.

It was more a pen than the one Liverpool got v Sheffield (not having a dig at Liverpool, just using it as an example 'cause it's from this season), yet that never got such a bad reception.

I just don't know what we've got to do to get some credit?

I still don't think terry went down easily. When someone's got their arms around you and is pulling you down, what else is gonna happen eh?

I think it was a clean penalty. Blackburn were also lucky with the kalou incident in the first half; that should have been a penalty too imo

One Mr Hughes forgot.

I think it was the least obvious of the penalties, but if he thinks Roberts was more of a penalty than JT's () then I'd be inclined to think Kalou should've had one too!

Well... it looks like Terry is getting quite good at diving...

Bollocks to that, we had a stone wall penalty today and the twats didn't even mention it!

Oh, and it was a penalty even if Terry did do his dying swan act.

Didn't actually see it, but I just got really annoyed when he dived at the Camp Nou, especially considering the usual media cr@p about English players being oh so correct and fair, and never ever diving.

Look at it here.

Tell me how on earth that is a 'dying swan' act?



Hughes talking out his ar$e

OK.. maybe it was a penalty (just be happy it was given, usually refs ignore these), but Terry does fall over, in an attempt to draw attention.

Hmm I'm not so sure. Again I'll use the Gerrard-Sheffield United excuse to back up my case here and say I personally believe Terry slipped, rather than dived.

Some might say this is more of a dying swan act

He still rolled around screaming though.

I'd agree with that. Stone wall penalty, but you'd expect someone of Terry's reputation as a big, strong centreback, would do a little more to stay on his feet. Went down like Coopers mother for a fiver.

i was gonna say welsh sheep

He was only 18, boys will be boys etc etc

Might be because he's being pulled down mate

Like I say, everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I just don't see how when someone has their arms around you and is dragging you down (rugby tackle style), that you can say a player's dived/gone down easily

Poor penalty by Lamps though, I really thought he was gonna miss.

Reminds me of Elias' death in Platoon.

Maybe because he'd been dragged down.

It's not the first time Blackburn have done that to Terry you know.

Nonsense. She's not educated enough to know what "a welsh" is.

Yes, it does seem like Lampard is a bit short of confidence at the moment. (I am actually starting to beleive that he tried to sell himself to us during the summer).
