Diving is nothing compared to stamping on players chests and frightening levels of xenophobia

Claiming goal kicks that you know full well are corners, claiming throw ins, knowing full well you touched the ball last, telling players to get up, and stop diving, when you know full well you have just kicked or fouled them, and then you have diving.
Its all the same thing, cheating.

But in all seriousness, Anybody hi has played the game have dived, or gone down when they could has stayed on their feet. It's common sense sometimes, Luos Suarez I just really, really bad at it.

I wouldn't call them artists, but if you have a footballing brain, you will, certain circumstances go down easier than need be. There is really no need for the swan dives and rolling around though.

All it will take is one club to take action against there player, make a statement to the league and soon enough other clubs will follow suit.

Just because every club has them does not make it right, the game is about fair play not cheating and hard punishments need to be handed out for diving.

BR should set the standard, withdraw suarez from our next game tell the world and the world will listen and the integrity of pur club will not be questioned, continuing to support him and deny the obvious is just allowing it to continue.

We may lose the game because he is absent well thats toigh luck and thats then on his shoulders and I guarantee he wont go over easy again

Hey mito - welcome back

I'm not sure why rival fans think we haven't noticed Suarez and Gerrard diving. They're all over here posting links as if it's the first time we've seen it.

As you say mito, all teams have cheats.

Didn't rogers say it wasn't a dive? He (like most managers) will defend his players whatever they have done.

Personally, im not a fan of Luis Suarez, dives way too much and is a dirty player TBH

I think the biggest united culprit was missed off that list.....the white pele himself

Suarez does dive on occasion, but what about all the times he doesn't get an obvious decision?
The Norwich lad the other week assaulted Suarez in the box and then went to the ref to complain that Suarez dived. This is also cheating is it not? Fouling somebody and then trying to get that very player booked is cheating in the same way as diving is.

Pulis has the cheek to have a go at Suarez and say he should be banned, yet defends Peter "basketball" crouch when he cheats a goal.

No team can take the moral high ground as every club have players that dive.

Rodgers needs to have a word with Suarez, but equally, every manager in the premier league needs to have words with their main culprits...the white pele included!
