Although it would never happen, i would love to see players like Young receive a 1 match ban for his actions.

He has undoubted talent and a cracking shot, if he got his head down and worked harder at his game, he could get 15 goals a season, but seems intent on getting into the box and sniffing out a pen for someone else to stick away.

That is what I hate about the Premiership and modern football in general (1990 onwards) the blatant diving and rolling about, back in the day when you could tackle someone without fear of a yellow, you never saw any of this bullsh1t theatrics and histrionics other when you played european games against the Italians and Spanish, now the Prem is no better than either of those leagues in the respect of the cheating.

It was cringeworthy and not the only time he went over like a sack of sh*t. Seems that wherever he is on the pitch if an opposing player hassles him his first instict is to fall over.

All the commentators blamed the ref/linesman for not getting the blatant offside but if Young hadn't of dived like a bitch then none of the aftermatch would have happened.

Did chuckle at MOTD 2 when Robbie Savage admitted he dived a few times in his career and Dixon looked stunned.
