Anfield RAP

Bale's a worserist diver than Suarez.

=====================

No-one is a worserist than Suarez.



As for the actual article subject, why shouldn't we keep going on about it? It is absolutely disgraceful. To dive is one thing, but to cry wolf with a fake head/face injury is just sick.

Not only that, but to fake a head/face injury, & then be caught on camera playing peekaboo to try to establish whether your con has worked, is nothing but a pathetic, embarrassing, act. Shame on Drogba.



Jokes aside, the only way to stop it is to do a trial period where all players caught doing it (decided by a panel of people - like a jury) are heavily punished. Otherwise, it will continue to get more out of hand & this type of debate will be posted again & again.

its fairly obvious to me that everyone's a hypcrite.

wenger... total bullshzte artist... he's got soe many divers and so many have left himtoo for better things... eboue yet he has the gall to comaplin.

Ferguson... one only needs to see the antics of nani and ronaldo and others to laugh in that mand face.

lfc fans can go shut the f up too. gerrard, suarez, torres all heroic divers.

and chelsea plastiz can chuff right off back to thier plastic fna seats in the city of manchester area cos they've the hugest bunch of floppers ever.

as for spurs... bunch of flopping maroons.

For reference, the jury should consist of Tom Daley, Klinsmann, Suarez, Drogba & Eduardo

All pro's.

'Why shouldn't we keep going on about it?' We should - just not in a 'your players' are the worerested at it - all team have them, so lets start at that!

The whole game does my head in at time - the amount of shoulder to shoulder incidents which, if happened on the street wouldn't even knock you off your stride, end in one player falling to the ground is just pathetic - and most of the time these are 'valid' free kicks! Then you get the actual cheating and diving! Only way to stop this - postumous red/yellow cards for EVERY incident - manager will soon get annoyed at loosing their top players!

I notice you left a bigger diver out. Bale. He dives more than all you have mentioned and he's only just started out.

There'sOnlyOneReds,

Bale may go down easy once in every 4/5 games, Suarez dives 4/5 times per half, in every game he plays.

i dont think iv EVER seen Suarez dive... ive only ever seen him either being kicked and him going to ground quite easily or being barged in the back throughout a football match.

I would go as far to say Stewart Downing is a worse diver than Suarez because i could pull examples of him diving when there was zero contact.

people are blinded by envy and hate....grow up

The only way to stop diving is to establish a pink card (same significance as a yellow card) that is brandished at the offender, with the offender also being required to wear a pink tu-tu for the remainder of the game (the tu-tu would have to be made of advanced materials by sports manufacturers so that the offender can't claim that it hinders their performance).

On a side note, does anyone else think that the award of a foul and a booking for simulation shouldn't be mutually exclusive if the referee feels that a foul has occurred, but that the fouled player is also acting the maggot?

I realise, unfortunately, that this would result in a yellow card for Suarez every time he's fouled, but it's something I've felt for a while.

if I had Bale's ears, I'd be well balanced.

jenners,

There's not enough excuses in "The Book of 100,000,001 Excuses", to get Suarez off the hook i'm afraid.

agree with Rap,

the only way to rid the cheating or trying to gain an unfair advantage in games is to severely punish the player or club if repeat offender.

noticed it last night that players went down too easily trying to con a free kick, and when one wasn't given they get up quick enough!

The most hilarious comment this week, going down easy is what you call it eh?

Anfield of Dreams

Why would you want a link to Capello's grasp of the English language?

The way to stop all this namby pamby diving lark is to make the diving player hop on the leg they thought was kicked, for a minute, whilst play goes on around them.

Chicken

How can you go on about Suarez when you've got Gareth, I only do it so the bad man doesn't get me, Bale in your team?

The only time i mention diving is when someone uses it against our players and i mention a player of theirs.

A Barca fan a while ago had the cheek to call us cheats (said it to me on facebook)
