Smashley Young

Agreed, it was a penalty, but it could have been a complete non-issue had Young not put in the extra unneeded energy.
Pretty much said that last week I think.
Why not just delete your post, and then re-post it?
Good point, but then the post about Fergie's post-match comments (which was an interesting one IMO) would've been pushed back to the last page.
Settled...
Luis Suarez - 5ft 11 inches
Ashley Young - 5ft 9 inches
Luis Suarez is the biggest diver.
Ryan Taylor should concern himself with how shit he is, and never worry about Young.
On subject, exaggerated fall once again, but it was a foul and a penalty.

That's what I thought as well.
Tbh I hope he does cut it out, or at least make it less dramatic. As for Taylor, maybe he should have a word with Perch. That's the problem with football, ridiculous amount of hypocrisy.
SAF got it about right. Hopefully he'll have a word in private as well and we won't have another very good performance overshadowed.
Apparently it was taken down right after. Wonder if anything will come of it?
disgrace would be going down without any contact.
Didn't he play with Joey Barton?
I hate diving. Young is easily my least favorite United player atm. Hope Nani finds some form so we dont have to play this cheat every match.
Young looked foolish by making such a meal of it, but there was definite contact and, for me, there is no difference between that penalty and the one Dzeko won for City against Sunderland.
Ryan Taylor is one of the worst players in the league 
He needs to cut out the play acting
All forgiven for nani when he dived far more than young ever did. And in non critical situations
Did he? Not in the past few years anyway
Nani rightfully copped shit for his diving from our fans. Just as Young is.
Yea its forgiven because he has completely taken it out of his game and hasnt dived for years, while Young is currently one of the biggest cheats in the league.
Why the hell should I judge Nani on something he doesnt do any more?
In his 1 st couple of seasons he was far worse a diver than young ever was. Like I say it could have been anywhere. At least young has done it to win penalties.
His worse moment was his sending off at home to Charlton (or was it west. Ham?)
"I was hacked, guv. Honest."
Taylor just said what most of the country thinks right now. Dragging your club through the mud with antics like that.
It's just completely unnecessary.
It's just completely unnecessary.
Yeah, in his first year or two but since then he's taken it out of his game. That West Ham moment was pretty embarrassing but since then he's knuckled down and got on with it.
I just don't get this level of outrage. What about when players claim for a throw-in that blatantly hit them last?
Winds me up (albeit only slightly) when players resort to dramatics to try and get someone sent off but there's a lot worse things in the game than diving. I'd probably rather Young didn't fling himself about as much as he does but I understand why he does it and I'm certainly not fussed if we get a pen as a result.
Agree 100%, Taylor is a complete gobshite.
What is worse. Young winning a couple of pens or shearer kicking Neil Lennon in the head (and not even getting a card)?
This is the same Taylor who TWICE threw shapes from Platoon to kid the ref into thinking he'd been hit in the midriff after deliberately handling the ball on the line, right?
EDIT: oops. It's not. Who am I thinking of? The Newcastle player they sold after Carroll chinned him?

Nope that was Steven taylor
Think about how annoyed you get when an opposition player dives to win a penalty against us.
For me anyways, I am never more annoyed. Dive or not
I think for diving the thing is, it's the theatrics more than anything. You can understand why players go down now, it's sort of an endless cycle. Take Shane long yesterday. He tries to stay up, can't get his balance to shoot and so misses the chance, if he went down he'd get the pen no doubt. So where's his incentive to stay up? That's part of the problem, refs don't think it's a foul anymore unless you go down and so players feel they have to. If players didn't go down so dramatically I think people would less complaint.
Nah, that's the other, slightly less shit one. As per usual, a Newcastle fan moaning about us and penalties can feck right off.
Who gives a feck what Ryan Taylor thinks?
At least the England set-up won't have to worry about it causing tension in the camp.
AND, he's a fecking scouser.
