scudd Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 I watched that dirty cheating ladyboy from portugal blatently dive on two occasions during their match with boro on Saturday, and I only caught the first half... So, if you had the power what would you suggest the FA did about it? Heres my 2c worth... Video evidence! The FA, once notified by an opposing manager, player, the ref, whoever, should review it and dish out an immediate 3 match ban to anyone that blatently dives to gain an unfair advantage!

MikeO Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Said it before and I'll say it again....cut Ronaldo's testicles off with a blunt Swiss army knife and mount them (next to Drogba's) in a frame at Lancaster Gate. Problem solved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 The FA will sit back and do fook all, theres too many doing it to keep under control. Should have done it years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 i think it should be looked at, they have dubious goals commitee, so why not spend their time doin somethin more productive! one match ban for a blantant dive imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 It wouldnt really be much of a punishment tbh, I mean if they dived to win a penalty and it was scored you cant take the goal away so it doesnt really make much difference.

Madmatt Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 i was talking to my dad today, and told him i thought a panal could review the games after, and anyone found to be diving should have a 3 match ban. if the same player is caught again, 5 match ban and 3 points docked. Ronaldo is a fucking tool. He dives all over the place, and then dives in and moans when he does get a foul given against him. Helb yesterday was just asbad, and the red shit? my god they are aweful for it. stevie DNA gerrard is the worst! yet when AJ gets accused by managers from teams WHOS OWN PLAYERS DO IT, really fucks me off. really does. AJ Dont dive, sort ur own houses out first eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hows this for a Porky Parry type hypothesis.

Randomness Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 thing is its a disgrace that technical players dont have any strenght to take a kick and then dish one back out before laying on a goal and then getting booked for attempted murder!

Pat Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 People are puzzled as to us having 5 C/halfs on pitch @ weekend.

Ian Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Apparantly Andy Gray said on 'the last word' that its good for the game, its bring contraversy, in other words, saying it is acceptable for that portugese tranny to fall over likes hes been knee capped. I dont know how true that is, a red mate told me, you know what there like... As for diving I think its a disgrace, grown athletic men go down quicker then Jordon and dont feel ashamed of themselves. If there is contact I think a player has every right to go down, but to run into a leg or jump and role 10 times without gettin touched, then getting up to take the free kick is pathetic.

thebluenose Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 im going radical here. if your found to have a blatent dive 3 match band 1 weeks wages. second time 6 match ban and 2 weeks wages. 3rd time your out. contract terminated and not allowed to play for a team for 2 years. that will get the divers out in a week. (btw this is done on video evidence) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Too easy Alex, but what I see as unforgivable is when a manager (SAF) publicly defends a "serial diver" in the press and doesn't even blush. Well his nose did. ATB Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xavier Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 But what IS a blatent dive? Ok, you can count Ronaldo's and Robbens' dive when hit by a shadow as blatent dives but what about the one when Rosicky went down on the Chimbonda tackle. He flung himself to the ground when there wasnt much contact. What about some 'dives', where there IS contact, but minimal and not enough to actually pull the player to the ground. My point is, that there is a major grey area to consider. A 'dive' to someone is a 'his pace on the ball made him lose balance when touched, fall'. Dont see this happening unfortunately coz its almost impossible to define 'a dive' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Xav, I think you have hit the nail on the haed there mate. The continental players have brought a special and wonderful gift to our game, but also this cheating. I think the main problem is with referee's and a lack of direction within the rules which govern our game. There is a need for clarification and definition. As long as we have moderate refs and harsh refs we will never come to a satisfactory conclusion. ATB Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldfishMemory Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 But what IS a blatent dive? Gerrard opening day against Sheffield United! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xavier Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) His momentum made him fall over Mac, imo, there is a reason for a ref being moderate and the other one harsh. Thats because opinions differ. A harmless elbow to Graeme Poll could be a malicious 'never intended to go for the ball' elbow to Rennie. Van Der Meyde incident in the derby last year is one such case. So its absolutely impossible to name a standard rule for a 'dive' There is no right or wrong. Just how the referee interprets it in that 2 second grace period that he has, in view of 40000 people in the stands and thousands more watching from home, that matters. I really feel sorry for those referees sometimes. The media has a major part to play here. A minor mistake by a ref gets magnified to such an extent. So i can see what could happen if a player gets sent off for a dive, when he was actually brought down. Ref's are easy targets for people to vent their frustration out on. I have no idea on how to solve the problem of diving. Edited December 7, 2006 by xavier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Gives furtehr weight to video evidence/ analysis doesnt it? Most of us are livid @ the thought. Though, I think it's just around the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluenose Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 actually i got an idea. shoot the following: ronaldo gerrard (coz he dives quie often) henry van persie drogba shoot them and theres 90% of the dives gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
