Don't care if people say its a dive, he has the wits about him to force the referee into making a decision. If you're playing a game and everyone else is cheating why not even the odds? We've been robbed of some stonewall penalties this season, penalties that would've won us key games e.g. Arsenal (H). If we need to sell a little to get a few decisions I'm all for it.

Fair enough he has been good also but misplaced a few passes if I recall.
The era of Darth Rashford has finally begun. Finally showing guile.
I would be disappointed, then I remember how Aguero got Fellaini sent off and suddenly I don't give a shit anymore.
Well in Marcus.
Well in Marcus.
No virtue signaling from me - I'm glad he dived.
Wonder if the same posts would be made if Lacazette makes such a dive vs us in the EL final in extra time..Diving is wrong and cheating, no discussion.
Certainly one of those penalties you would expect to be reversed with a video replay introduction.
Good fan you are!
Of course he is, he wasn't touching him
feck what Refs will think after this game!
We need to win this one. A striker has to go down there, looks bad and is a dive but so feck.

Well I still think diving is a bad thing.
Only way we were scoring, mind.

Learning well on how to dive. Now he can be a truly great player.
I think the intention from Fabianzki was to take him down. It was a mental foul and should be counted as a penalty. It's like robbing a bank with a soft airgun and then claim it couldn't have been a robbery because the gun wasn't real. Clear penalty every day of the week.
Yeah sorry, it seems so contrasting to how honest he comes across, diving is filthy and I absolutely hate it in the sport.
Blatant dive. He will be a superstar.
He didn't though really, did he? Fellaini got himself sent off for being an absolute tit.
Poor effort this time, you're better than this.
Of course he is, he wasn't touching him
He touched him. Not much, but he did.
What is wrong with most of you? That was very clever play. Fabianski was sliding directly towards him, he got the ball clear and bought the contact. Goalkeeper at fault there and our young lad took full advantage as you would hope.
Genuinely wonder if some of you lot are actually United fans or not
Correct.
Good dive, he sold it well.
I was worried he was a little too nice for this professional football lark but he proved me wrong with that dive. Lovely stuff. If he can avoid any serious injuries, he's going to be monstrous in the coming seasons.
This is the game we're playing. The FA's around the world don't consider it a more of a bad thing than any other foul. If other teams are doing it we should be too. It's not something I'm in favor of but since other teams are allowed to do this we can't not be doing it either.
Video refs might sort it out somewhat for key decisions like red cards and goals but the FA's should have tackled this a long time ago.

This.
He pulled his hand away and Rashford clearly lowered his foot so he would touch his arm. Which is a dive
Look at Alli and Vardy doing that every other game, they have that winning mentality glad Rashford does it too, United through and through this boy.
Ofcourse a goalkeeper slides towards the ball, you want to make your goal as small as possible. Fabianski pulled his arms back, Rashford falls before any contact and then seeks for contact by directing his leg towards Fabianski's arm, its never a pen, just unfair.
It's a fantastic dive. Absolutely loved it!
Always said I couldn't give 2 fecks about our players diving to win pens. More the merrier.

Some people are fair enough to call cheating cheating even when our players do it. Being United fans doesn't mean we have to be braindead.
Clear dive. Swansea have a right to be pissed.
Weired thing I've ever read on a football forum. Unless you're wumming.
I'm with you in that
Would have been pissed off if he didn't go for it
If we win, it will be because of rashford
I think he means that Rashford won against Swarbrick in that dive.
Stop with the diving - it's not a way to win a match, and certainly not against Swansea anyhow. I can't believe people defend that.
Exactly. This was a Vardy special.
Yes Fellaini shouldn't have touched heads, I agree. However in this case, it was also the keepers's blame to come flying out at Rashford without thinking.
It will because of cheating! Can't believe how anyone thinks that's OK. Speaks volumes.
Diving obviously isn't smart in the long run, but good dive today.
