Infact it was part of Fergie agreeing to talk to the BBC again surely?

Now they are off their perch lets shine a light on everything they do wrong?

Makes sense to me

Is it? Not really surprised by this revalation. It probably explains why Everton are in 4th. They are one of Fergie's favoured teams.

Anyway, I'm not saying its some sort of conspiracy.

You have hot to admit its hypocritical having a piece on Suarez diving, but not mentioning Bale diving.

What shocked me was that they mentioned Suarez' one dive but not Stoke's constant fouling. I'm sick of it.

This is how it works;

Diving = cheating

Stamping on an opponents chest = not cheating.

No way back for suarez really,he does'nt help himself,but it won't stop until he's hounded out of the premier league in my opinion.

Hey if Holland can do it in the WC Final, Stoke can do it on a cold day in Liverpool!

Just seen that pulis wants suarez banned,what a p-rick.
Nothing about his own thug player assaulting him though.

Suarez gets what he deserves. We had the skipper and manager go public and rant that he does not get decisions and then yesterday he does that pathetic attempt of a dive. He won't be getting any genuine pens in England largely due to him.

I see the back pages are full of it. David Maddock's piece in The Mirror is just stand out. There's a lot made of Suarez's dive, but no mention of Huth's stamp.

Yes Suarez was wrong for diving. But does it really warrant so much attention, or create such controversy?

Oh,and this is the same guy who was caught red handed speeding in his car,but gave a cockn' bull story to escape a ban.
Hypocritical nugget.

Suarez only has himself to blame this time.

In the last few weeks it has been highlighted how he is not getting penalties.

It has been highlighted how foreign players get labelled cheats when British players don't.

He had an opportunity for the tide to turn in his favour a little, all he had to so was stop diving for a while and the media would move on to something else.

He just can't help himself.

We keep hearing what a great bloke he is off the pitch, and maybe that's true, but on it he just keeps behaving like a fool.

I am starting to hope we sell him because I am fed up with the circus, however fantastic a player he is.

It was the same when Beckham played for England. The hysteria around was such that I just got fed up with it regardless of the quality of his play.

Is that the reason why we played them if the park on that opening game?

They mentioned the Suarez dive, as it was that pathetic it was funny.

Any player from any club who produced that 'masterpiece' would deserve all of the headlines & ridicule that would come with it, Suarz is no exception, so stop moaning about some imaginary victimisation

Are you saying that Bale's dive wasn't equally rediculous? Did you see it?

posted on 8/10/12

Bales dive was an obvious dive, but it wasn't in the area & therefore wasn't an attempt to win a penalty that could have decided the game & didn't have the comedy value of Suarez's effort, which was pathetic in the extreme.

So it wasn't a blatant attempt to get another player booked, or maybe even sent off?

It wasn't comical? That's why Guzan creased up laughing, and Lawro on MOTD2 laughed it off?

posted on 8/10/12

I'm saying it wasn't as pathetic or amusing as this;

but carry on believing that you're on the wrong end of some form of 'witch hunt' if you like mate.

You might find that the irony of your manager moaning about how Suarez doesn't get any decisions to the refs association & then him producing a blatant attempt at cheating, might also have something to do with the 'headline value' of this story.

What about this big Nev's shed

This happened on Saturday, where's the outrage about that?

posted on 8/10/12

What of it? are you seriously trying to say it's the same as Suarez's dive? Behave lad, Suarez is getting pelters as he deserves them, it's that simple.

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.
