Diving

Just watching MOTD and Alan Hanson commenting on Theo Walcotts penalty. Hanson says that because Walcott felt minimal contact he had the right to go over for a penalty. Now in my opinion this is ridiculous and players should only go over if the challenge is enough to knock them over not some minimal contact and they throw themselves to the floor.
Also if a player has the right to go over why has Bale been booked for diving when he theatrically goes over when tackled.
I think I am going to give up with MOTD as the comments really wind me up.

At least there was slightf contact with Walcott's, Cazorla's was worse than Eduardo's against Celtic.

Danny Welbeck

Yep Welbeck has exaggerated contact and I hate that, but there was contact. Cazorla's was just pathetic

No there wasn't contact...

(we are talking about this dive aren't we...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miK7qyot6Kw )

That was every bit as bad as Cazorla.

2 dodgy penalty decisions yesterday (one which wasnt given and one which was), and that is a 4 point swing between Spurs and Arsenal.

Walnut dived and the Ref fell for it, Bale was pushed in the back and wasnt given a fairly blatant penalty.

Football these days is a refereeing lottery.
