Thats the one Bar , interesting viewing.

Cheers Aussie with the technical help

No probs guys......thoughts?

He does go over very easily on occasions but he gets very little protection.

Also he must already hold the record in the Premiership with nutmegs.

i watched it. yes, a lot of those were simply horrible. the reason, i think, that he gets knocked around so much is because it's obvious to other squads that at this point...he is the only threat on goal. so yes, he does take waaaayyy too many knocks and hard, awful tackles. but, him diving just compounds this problem by first of all, doubling the time he spends on the ground, and secondly, by turning every ref and manager against him and thus he ends up getting biased calls. i know not every time he ends up on the ground is a dive, but he does dive and he dives more than the average player. it just makes the whole situation worse.

i also think another reason he dives so much in and around the box is because of, again, the fact that he is the only goal threat. he gets frustrated quickly because he can't go it alone, so he fishes for penalties and free kicks.

Great response, they get booed because they are scum!

Beckham used to get loads of abuse in the Premiership, so do Gerrard, Rooney and Torres at every other ground, the reason for this is because they are top drawer and like someone else said its the fear factor of these type of players!

isnt borini ment to be that?

Well if he is, he must be starving

As much as I hate players diving, you can understand why they're doing it though.

To me the Refs need to take the blame for this, as there is no chance they will give a penalty if the player gets kicked around and stays on his feet.

The only time they will give a penalty is when the player falls. So as much as we tell the players to stay on their feet, all it means is that no fouls will be given because it's only seen as a foul if the player falls.

Therefore, they "dive" when they get touched and in some cases start falling when they are expecting to get touched.

Do away with the refs, have rush goalies, and use jumper for goalposts. Anyone suspected of diving gets a sharp kick up the bracket.
