Suarez's dive/BBC hypocrisy

Lol. Nice bias big nev.

How exactly is it different?

I'm not defending Suarez for his dive yesterday. Just questioning the difference in coverage, and criticism, the two are getting.

I didn't realise we were now judging dives on comedic value. A dive is a dive, it's wrong no matter which player it is. People seem happy to laugh Bale's dive off, despite the apparent lack of comedy value. Yet there are calls for Suarez to be banned.

It's not a conspiracy, or a victim mentality. Foreign players get more grief for diving than home grown players. This is a fact, I just want to know why.

^ Is Yaya Toure English then? lol

The difference is the context, surely you can see that? The game was 0-0, he's was diving to win a pen & therefore try & win the game by cheating. Your manager has been bleating in the press about how hard done to, poor old Suarez has been of late & the general concenus amongst the football fraternity was that he was weeping what he has sown. Yesterday came as a timely reminder of that reality, with one of the worst dives you'll ever see. Keep crying though mate, it's all Fergies fault.

*reaping what he has sown

...Nice to see the bias is still there

Yes and I'm not defending that. Bale was trying to get a player booked, and maybe sent off. He still dived and there should also be calls for him to be banned.

^ has his manager been bleating the the press & the ref association about him not getting decisions due him wrongly being labelled a diver?

No, thought not.

In any case, you've missed the entire point of Pulis's comment & the debate that it''s caused. As Huth will get retrospective punishment from the FA for his stamp, but Suarez will get nothing for his dive.

^He never said he's not a diver, just that he wasn't getting decisions

Bale dived....did he get a card?

Suarez dived...in the box, comically. Did he get a card?

The refs in both games let them get away with it. How the media react has nothing to do with it, they cannot issue a retrospective punishment. If you want ref's to be pulled on mistakes then players should also be punished for blatant acts of cheating!
