Phoenix Owner doubles down on Goulding flop claims

South East Melbourne Phoenix Owner Romie Chaudhari has doubled down on his claim that Melbourne United star Chris Goulding is a flopper.  

Even though Goulding is set to miss Sunday’s Throwdown with injury, that hasn’t stopped the bad blood flowing between the two Melbourne rivals ahead of what promises to be a fiery affair. 

Chaudhari posted on social media Goulding “constantly flops and cries about it” after the Phoenix defeated United in the Round 5 Throwdown, and he isn’t backtracking.  

“Chris Goulding’s such a talented player, he’s amazing, he’s been doing it for so long and he’s been so successful, he doesn’t need to do that stuff, he’s better than that,” Chaudhari said via Newscorp.

“It was a flop, clear as day. Whoever at Melbourne United that said he didn’t flop, give them a lie-detector test, they would fail. They know. Everyone knows he flops.”

Tip-off between the bitter Melbourne foes is 2:30pm AEDT on Sunday, live on ESPN and Channel 10.

Goulding constantly flops and cries about it, that sh*t is weak.... Great win for SEM, they earned it, so proud of the effort, way to keep fighting!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾 https://t.co/8AOmWc6TMn
