Being a Wolves fan this season is almost as frustrating as last year’s relegation battle, despite us playing well. I just don’t get it. The most egregious thing imo is Vinicius (however it’s spelled) not being sent off just because Kilman wasn’t a bitch and rolling about the floor. Instead of rewarding Kilman’s good display of captaincy with the right decision, PGMOL basically just told everyone that if you want the rules to be adhered to, you have to milk every single situation. Disgusting.
This is what I have to tell people who make fun of the sport for all the flopping. Sure, it definitely is a problem and I hate when players do it - when I played unless you were seriously hurt you got back up and helped your team (or our coach would sub us out).
But if you don’t milk it, the ref won’t call it and continue playing even if it’s a foul. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Players who actually get up and continue don’t get the calls made against them.
