DIVING

[Withytrees]

Why does a talented footballer like Fabregas have to resort to cheating (again) ,attempting to get a penalty awarded, Why was he not booked ? ,

[x-ray]

That is his talent, he falls over so easy in the hope he will get a free kick (or penalty)
He often does though which is more the pity

[Hopkirk]

They only book players from lesser reams for such things.

WBA had one booked for diving on sunday, and the radio commentators said it was a foul.

id have booked him and if he moaned id have sent him off, its always the same with arsenal, gr8 footballing side but just fall over diving, (walcott admitted he dived in the tie against leeds to get them back in the game). the fa should ban the divers for 1 match, then if they do it again 2 games and so on, it'll soon stop

Seems an accepted practice on the contenent? If you see an opportunity for a free kick, take it. We are (in theory) meant to be more sportsman-like. But the influx of foreign players who have played formerly in Spain and Italy in particular are accustomed to the odd dive!

Cos none of the others do it do they?

[jd_1984]

Its the 'English leagues' that try and stamp it out, not the players in the league (including English players)
