Worthy of an Oscar?

Talk about other football teams at all levels. AND ANY Glos City related threads, even if talking about the groundsharing.

Nope.

You get an Oscar for good acting, not for that nonsense.

If I had a dog which acted hurt like that, I'd be tempted to kick its arse.

Think he's worthy of a Razzie.
That was even worse than the Barnsley winger on Saturday throwing himself to the ground and slapping the grass repeatedly after Ben Williams had grazed his shin pad with his little toe. Or when he went down holding his face after Ben Williams had muscled him off the ball shoulder to shoulder.

Haha ha, yes.

One Ex Robin who was an appalling actor was JJ Melligan.
He didn't feign injury but he'd take a dive in the box aways about 2 seconds too late.
The best from memory, going back many years was Joe Gadston who won so many penalties by making contact with the defenders shin. Worked every time.
