Gareth Bale

Maybe it's a British thing

I remember when Les Ferdinand pulled out a gun and shot 3 Aston Villa players during a game. It was never mentioned All because he was English

The Lady Eowyn isn't that the start of "The Last Boy Scout".

I think people who are black and foreign frighten the xenophobic media, with their diving and things that no British player would dare do. It's reasons like that which make me hope for the day when we line all the tabloid media up against a wall and shoot them, drowning them in their own blood.

I think Bale's immunity from criticism must have something to do with simian protection charities.

Similarly to Phil Jones, Gareth Bale has been praised so much by the media in the past 18 months that any mistake/criticism is wildly overlooked.
As soon as players with a reputation do something badly, they jump on them instantly.
Drogba - diver
Walcott - poor cross
Barton - mental challenge

Nothing was made of Parker's sending off at the weekend. Had it been Barton, he'd have been attacked...I'm not defending Barton btw.

I think people in glass houses shouldnt throw stones and seeing as the other day rafa basically auditoned for the brazillian olympic diving squad in the most embarassing fashion ever, you shouldnt be getting over something so ridiculously trivial.

Are u a bit special? Or just down right thick stretty? Please read my article CAREFULLY! I have not condoned any player (yes including man utd players) but there u go!! Had it been Rooney young or Stevie downing or Adam it would be brushed away as is bale all the time yet the example u give is young raphael?! Why not choose Ashley young? I'm a united fan and admit he falls over quite easily! Maybe you should get out of your glass house eh

Totally agree, just shows how hugely inconsistent the F.A. are... I remember when Eduardo got banned for diving to win a pen, to my mind no different at all to Bale's, yet he gets away with it...

Really, really irks me.....

Isn't Eduardo technically the only player to be found not guilty of diving?
