Newell angered by foreign players

Luton boss Mike Newell could face disciplinary action after criticising foreign players and match officials after his side's 3-2 loss at West Brom.

"Should play have stopped before the second? The linesman had a good view of the incident," he said referring to the injury to his player David Bell.

"Most officials are not capable of refereeing or running the line anyway."

He added: "When a ball is put out and a player gets up it annoys me. We're going soft because of the foreigners."

He added: "As soon they are touched, they go to ground.

"I will never have a player feigning injury, ever. I don't want those players in my side.

"You have this kicking the ball out and then someone gets straight up. They should be embarrassed."

Luton were leading 2-1 until the last two minutes of the game before a Kevin Phillips double gave Albion a dramatic win.

sadly he is right...even kids as young as 9 are doing it....

the lot I coach, some of them spend half their time on the floor rolling around, just to get up and carry on a minute later.

I think its disgusting, if someone it abouts to score one kid always goes in for a slide tackle....claims he's hurt himself and therefore 'the goal doesnt count'

Sometimes, its almost like a competition to see how can be injured and cry the most.

Sometimes someone will make a decent tackle...but the kid knows he's lost the ball so will go down 'injured'

Unlike Newell I dont think its purely the fault of the foreign players...but its getting worse and the younger age groups are doing in...and I think its disgusting.

I was always taught, if you lose the ball your reaction should be to get it back....nothing else....

of course there's too much diving/feigning of injuries, but it's got fuck all to do with foreign players and it's not newell's job to point it out.

But it has got alot worse since foreigners have arrived. It seems part of the game at all levels to do it. But it's harder for the refs to distinguish feigning injury to real injurys.

michael owen, rooney, gerrard, scholes, beckham, shearer all do/did it just as much, but either we chose not to notice or it was laughed at and said "he's good at winning free-kicks in that situation"

THink your kids doing it is slightly different. Kids stub their toe and they think they have broken their leg and they ball their eyes out only to be running around like headless chickens two seconds later. Adults on th other hand need a fucking slap for being such poofs

Newell seems to have become totally disillusioned with the game. I wouldn't be at all suprised if he got the sack because the board will be getting annoyed with his comments.

Just because Newell was proved right on Panorama he now thinks he's some sort of football messiah. Not doing himself any favours.

We used to play 'foulin football' that would sort em out DV? Bit of no rules except the handball.
