The worst football decisiom ever?
UEFA's U-turn in letting off Eduardo for the most blatant bit of cheating is a blueprint for absolute disaster for football. I've read the rubbish in this morning's papers about how Eduardo now feels "vindicated" but the fact is that everybody that's seen it and isn't a one-eyed idiot KNOWS it was a dive, so far from being vindicated Mr Eduardo, you are now branded a liar as well as a cheat and you will still get booed everywhere you go for the rest of the season.
He got off because pathetic Arsenal proved he was "touched" which means that they have effectively changed the rules. A touch in the area, no matter how slight, is now a foul apparently.
It gives carte blanche to all the cheats out there to dive twice as much as they usually do, safe in the knowledge that nothing can be done about it and any yellow cards they may get can be overturned when they can prove there was miniscule contact.
The only good that can come out of this is if everybody falls over in Arsenal's penalty area at every little brush with a defender and demands a penalty. Mr Whinger and all those one-eyed Arsenal fans that I've been listening to on the radio all day can't say a thing about it.
And wouldn't it be a shame if Arsenal got knocked out of the champions league with a dive as blatant as Eduardo's - I'd love to hear the Whinger then.

any touch is not a foul, football has contact built in. The Dive causes the ref to believe a shove or a trip has taken place. The laws of the game change rarely. The interpretation, foucus and ability of officials is veriable. Do not get too hysterical about this kind of error. Do some stats and you'll find that without the benefit of action replays the officials are correct 90+% of the time.
Oh look, its happened again with Charlie Adam diving at Anfield vs Man U, and now even Lawrenson and Hansen condone it saying 'there was contact, so it was a foul' totally ignoring the fact that the only reason Adam went down is that he chose not to put his own right foot on the deck. Ah,not the only reason, the other one is that he's been watching Suarez get away with it for weeks with not one suggestion of anything ever being done about it.
Well done to Paulo di Canio for coming out and saying that he will tell his players to dive at every opportunity - if this is the way the authorities want football games won then lets have everybody doing it.
