Though I'm sure their no contact still images are better.

are you aware of something known as depth perception? in that image it is impossible to tell how deep the two player's legs are. you'd have to see a lateral image of the same thing and then make a conclusion in all three dimensions. for all we know, you fast forward this image a few frames and the west brom defender's leg would go flying past santis without making any contact, because you can't say on a 2d flat image what kind of depth there is. using a video clip where multiple angles are shown, or posting a seperate image showing a lateral view of this would make your case much stronger. or perhaps you know there is no case, and showing the additional images/clips would expose you, thats why you have doctored one image that proves your point.

Here I thought you defend Spanish players

clear penalty, he took him out completely

lucky he didn't need a stretcher

Only when they are not playing in the EPL.

Only when they are not playing in the EPL.

So it's ok for Spanish players, let alone a Spain regular like Cazorla, to be labelled a diver and a cheat, similar to the treatment Suarez gets?

 

[adil_909]

thank you, exactly the point i was making. seeing it in multiple images, you can clearly see that there was no contact. ketoth just admit that it was a dive and quit whining. you guys played marginally better, but if that's the standard you expect out of your team then i feel bad for you

 

[Flavia]

I wouldnt rule out the contact completely, from that gif. It seems the tip of the player shoe hit cazorla, even if it was not much, might have hurt.

Yes.

 

[Semi-Neutral]

Where was the ref when it happened? Because from the back, even after multiple replays, it still looks like a trip to me, and he had only one time to see it, so...

Why are you hating on Cazorla? You do realise there's a certain Alexis Sanchez on your team.

Most people here don't like that facet of Sanchez's game.

This thing about "We don't see such diving and acting in the EPL" from clueless pundits is bull-shit. Almost every top team has multiple divers, yet obviously people gang up on the most successful team. That is the best possible example of "hating" you can find.

When Bale dives, he's being "clever". When Ashley Young dives (every single game), nobody bats an eyelash. When a non-British player dives (Eduardo, Cazorla, Suarez), it's a witch-hunt of epic proportions. The media shouldn't pick and choose when to be self-righteous and shocked. Either all of it is okay, or none of it is.

When does any pundit ever say that? They're talking about diving in the EPL all the time.

 

[Galning]

Obvious dive.

But also this:
