Basically said "if my son went down from that while playing, stayed there for three minutes and then needed all his mates to help him get back up, I'd send him to bed with no dinner".

Basically said "if my son went down from that while playing, stayed there for three minutes and then needed all his mates to help him get back up, I'd send him to bed with no dinner".
No but playacting now highlights the inept officials, because (like we saw today), staying on the ground forces a review, a review that is done by morons.
Just that if his son stayed down like that for three minutes and needed ten mates to help him up he wouldnt get any dinner
Good to see him apologising for his playacting for the first 30 seconds.
He won't get out of the newbs
Like the time he stepped on someone and then went down holding his ankle like he was kicked?
Honestly, football, EPL in particular, has become a shitshow with players from every team feigning injuries and falling over like pancies at minor touches because they know referees now will give penalties for any touch on an attacker. It's annoying to watch at times.
To which Mourinho replied with something like "it is your job as a father to feed your child, even if you have to steal food, I'm very disappointed".
He completely missed the point the daft cnut
He does. Let’s not not pretend otherwise.
Are you kidding? He was kicked clearly in the replay.
It really was. Usually footballers with all their media training are a bit more guarded about what they say or how they act in post match conferences. That being said, I sensed something was amiss when the cameras panned on him at full time and he was crouched down with a vacant thousand yard stare.
Pathetic from him. Glad to see Ole calling this shit out and while we have a couple who you could arguably say have behaved like this in the past, it's clear that this sort of playacting has no place in Ole's team.
Nice to see how much it hurt him.
And McTominay's finger made contact with Sons face.
The point is that players are screaming and rolling around to the point contact isn't allowed anymore. It's even convinced some fans that all contacts are fouls.
We've all played football. With the adrenaline it would take some serious pain to illicit the response you saw today from Son.
To be fair the problem obviously isn't just Son and Spurs. It happens every game. It happened multiple times this game.
Rashford, Bruno, Aurier and Hojbjerg were at it as well.
Really, really, really, really..
This elbow, arm, back of the hand, thing is getting to the point of embarrassment. Son went down as if he'd been shot. Cheating fecker and he's not the only one I'm afraid to say.
Has been racially abused on social media after the match. This is following a similar incident with Sanchez recently. Absolutely disgusting.
Like Rashford when he went down holding his face you mean?
Thoughts and prayers for Son, has probably lost all feeling in his face from that savagery by McT.
Or Lamela after being brushed in the face at Old Trafford.
Rashford was kicked in the ankle and it was a definite foul. Dunno why he was holding his face though I agree. Embarrassing as it was from Lamela and Son.
Yeah they all do it
Not quite. Son was down for 10 minutes as was pointed out already - in hindsight it was delightful to see him wheel away in joy to score the first only to get pumped in the 2nd half, with ease.
Rashford exaggerates contact from time to time. Bruno does it often, of course. As do Kane, Son, Mane, Salah, Sterling, Jesus and a bunch of others including Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe and of course, Neymar.
Unfortunately that is the state of modern football. As long as we're clear that our players are equally complicit, calling others out isn't hypocritical.
But you can see how it is especially annoying when it is a team's tactical strategy across the starting XI to go down screaming as opposed to individual occurrences. It is systemic shithousery that makes you far more hateable, a recent trait in Spurs who till Jose were the neutrals favorites.
In both legs, Spurs had shithousery and counterattack as primary tactics. Worked with Lamela/Martial, didn't work here with Son/McT, thankfully.
Any minority player comes in for it now when they do something bad. I'm ashamed that there are United fans participating in this behaviour.
Yip, and you can't even say it's recent as Rivaldo did it in the 2002 world cup. Players keep getting awarded for it, so it's stupid not to at this point.
Dangerous territory when managers make too many comments on this kind of thing. Most players do it, and we have plenty of them too.
I love(d) him as a player but today I lost all respect for him.
Pathetic. Forget about the goal decision. His actions were to try and get a player sent off. Not cool.

SON IS A GREAT PLAYER BUT A DIFFICULT PERSONALITY
Everyone does this, all our players aswell they stay down or make a huge noises to get a decision.
I can see why Ole said what he said but in all honesty if he was his sons manager he’d be telling him to do exactly the same thing.
Fickle.
Ole doesn’t mean what he saying in all honesty he’s sending a message to the refs it’s, nothing personal to Son.
I love Son though reminds me of the fun end of Soho.

That is really poor acting. Just like his acting on the field which got our opening goal disallowed.
Son lying there with the Tottenham physio on stabilising his neck and testing for concussion really was another level of embarrassment.
Do we? Every team has players that go down easily for sure. Every game. But staying prone on the ground and receiving medical treatment for a finger grazing your face (or any other exaggerated injury) isn't something i see much in general or at United. Seen 2 players do it this season though, both with significant results. Should be called out more in my opinion
Can't get too annoyed with the player, even though I feel it's a pathetic decision to disallow the goal. Because we have an awful lot of players who exaggerate fouls. Bruno, Rashford and Martial have become more prone to dives or staying down on soft fouls.
was waiting for it.I knew this would happen it’s a disgrace the abuse turns to racist.
Although I also hope his face will be ok after that vicious assault today.
They're staying down because they know its under review though, so it's not a normal situation. Lack of crowd noise really shows how much some scream, and yes, we have plenty.
It's about as predictable as those who push Ids tied to social media accounts ain't it. My advice to footballers, would be unless you have something intelligent to offer, get your arse off social media and that's about it. Because a footballer, while they have a right to be on their - it's really something they don't need. Of course in sport, people get emotional but people need common sense. Its like talking to a brick wall at times. The internet offers freedoms. Anyone with an interest can promote that interest and people spread it. It's not rocket science. Not having a go, but when you try to cheat of course it's an obvious excuse to create this drama but it does suit some peoples agendas. So the best solution is to tell players, what do you need to be on social media for? Is it something you actually really need once you've amassed a certain level of wealth? Do you have something intelligent to say? Social media is a cesspool of idiocy. And if the player never sees it, why should the player actually care? Even if they did see it, what a stranger says should in really mean nothing because they're no one to you.
