Mitrovic dramatics do Fulham no good at all

|

Aleksander Mitrovic clearly doesn’t see big pictures very clearly!

The Fulham striker – clearly totally responsible for landing Tomas Soucek in a situation where “look at me ref” Mike Dean had the opportunity of producing his beloved red card – has done Fulham no good at all.

This was pointed out by long time Hammers supporter and ClaretandHugh Facebook group member Graham Hatt.

Going down as though he was shot, getting VAR involved which eventually allowed the Dean ego to land, was not the brightest move in the world as far as Scotty Parker and the Fulham squad was concerned.

For – as Graham points out in his comment in the FB group: “The really daft thing about this is that Mitrovic is so thick, in actual fact, all he’s done, by pretending to be shot, is help fellow relegation rivals Sheffield United.

If he had just stood his ground Soucek would have been available to face Sheffield in the Hammers next Premier League game.

Good point Mr Hatt!

    Michae ..you omitted Zaha from your list of “cheats” ..him and Grealish tie for top spot imho..no room for cheats in the game and as for Salah well
    when someone like Souness says he is fed up with his antics and falling over it says it all..the cheats should be punished heavily….

  • John Sharp says:

    Whatever happened to simulation…an attempt to gain an unfair advantage over the opposition… which is a retrospective ban if the referee fails to punish it, Therefore a three game ban please for Mitrovich and an extra game for being a wimp !

    What are you on about? 😂 Mitro got smacked in the face. Red card should stand with an extra game ban added for a frivolous appeal.

    • Perhaps as a Fulham fan you know better than your striker. He himself appealed to Dean there was nothing in it. The whole of football except you it seems knows the truth.

      🤫🤫🤫 stop being as melodramatic as your giant – but obviously soft as a marshmallow – striker

  • Alan says:

    This theatrical diving and screaming when touched has to be stamped out of the game. Once again Salah took a ridiculously extravagant dive tonight when Ruben Diaz laid a couple of fingers on his arm. Pathetic dive but the ref gave a penalty. Until these decisions stop the diving and screaming will not.

  • Michae says:

    When I watched it yesterday I made the comment that Mitrovic, went down as if he had taken a right hander from Tyson, it gave Mike Dean the opportunity to take center stage. And what with ‘mini-me’ Lee Mason at Stockely Park, only one decision was going to happen. Mitrovic should be retrospectively Banned for effectively diving to get an opponent Dismissed. Too many Cheats in the Premier League, including Salah, Grealish and Martial.

    It took Tomas out of that freekick at the end though where his is a threat. The red card will be rescinded Monday hopefully
