He wasn't. Good effort though, almost deserved the pen.

I am gonna say that is a penalty, for me anytime a defender recklessly goes in and forces the attacker to take action to avoid contact then it should be a penalty.
Finally found gif of it
City should have been down to 8 players
I mean the he has done jack fucking shit as a player this campaign. Why Pelligrini still has him I don't know. Apparently nobody actually likes him.
What a cunt.

On the subject those Wontons' on the previous page do not appear to actually be wontons. More like Shaomai dumplings

What a fucking thug.
Should've been a straight red at least.

How can you call that going in recklessly? He's covering the angle, he's not hitting him or the ball. He's not forcing Aguero to jump over him (see Koscielny) or anything.

If Aguero carries on with that path, the defender isn't touching him. It's an attempt to con the referee, nothing less.

Good dive from Aguero, pretty convincing.

He has gone sliding in and doesn't have full control of his body. That is reckless to me and the only way he was able to cover the angle. Aguero has seen that and has to take action to avoid contact.
The defender's leg has gone into Aguero;s path.
Ahh the Gareth Bale excuse.
Forced to avoid contact? You may as well play without defenders then, if you aren't allowed to get in the way of the opponent.
The defender has slid in to block and not touched Aguero. You can see that Aguero feints to cross/shoot with his left foot and tries to draw contact.

So the bellyflop was Aguero's attempt to avoid contact? If the defender's foot is in Aguero's path (a foot on the ground, neither dangerous nor impeding), why has he flopped in it's direction?
To be fair, there are occasionally cases where this is true, e.g. a particularly nasty tackle in the 90 WC Final against (I think) Klinsmann. He either jumps over the tackling defender or risks his legs.

When you are travelling at fast speeds and then you see an swinging leg coming in you try to avoid contact, and sometimes the Aguero flop is the result.
A defender can't just so sliding in and then expect the attacker to be able to avoid contact 100% of the time while staying on his feet.

It's not a penalty. If you want to argue it wasn't a dive fine, but you are saying that is penalty.
Yes, when someone is going to high speeds even the slightest of touches or trying to avoid contact or whatever can cause them to go down. But those aren't penalties.
And defenders can go sliding in, it's called a slide tackle. Are you going to say that forwards shouldn't slide in to pounce on a cross or a loose ball?

I understand when it is a slight touch when two people are side by side, but the defender has not got control of his body and not won the ball, thus it is a reckless challenge.

Shanks has watched too much Serie a.

HAHA, most likely.
But the fact remains, that 99% of football fans would be calling that a penalty if it is one of their players going down.

lol no
I would at first, then on seeing the replay I'd accept it was a dive. And I imagine the same is true for most others.
Be the 1%, Shanks. Own 99% of the sense.

what the fuck postman just came, didn't have my package from amazon. Further digging shows it's supposed to be delivered by some cowboy outfit called "Amazon Logistics" between 8am-9pm.
Fuck off, amazon. No wonder fucking first class is taking 4 days instead of the usual 1-2 we get round here with Royal Mail.

Woah, Downing actually rewarded for his performances this season. Walcott in the squad as well. That could go horribly wrong.

Smalling, Carrick, Downing and Berahino are in the England squad :lol
Yep. You'll get some guy in an unmarked white van delivering your stuff to you. If he can be bothered*

Lambert and Townsend in again. They did OK in the last round of internationals, but it blows my mind that they're automatic inclusions in the England squad

No Serie A refs are certainly worse. The inconsistency is just amazing.
