Give the the last time a commentator mentioned it?
I think the reaction to the Fulham penalty last week was
[as the replay is starting] "and there was clearly conta... oh, maybe not"
And that was that. An obscenely obvious dive and dismissed as 'maybe not'.
The hypocrisy is laughable and now the big talking point is going to be Suarez diving who which he got nothing rather than the violent conduct that went unpunished.
If football fans are more offended by diving than violent conduct then they are too partisan and I don't want to label myself as a football fan
It's hard to remain positive when its the same week in week out. We could pass the ball like Barcelona but if we cannot put the ball in the net then that passing is about as useful as a fart in a submarine. A bottom half finish is a big possibility this season.
The agenda being people who disapprove of diving presumably. People need to get over their paranoid and partisan instincts and just accept that he deserves to be mocked and vilified for it. It was ridiculous. The agenda involved in calling a spade does not need to be sinister.
It clearly isnt though. Because there are numerous players who do it and the media rarely make a ****ing peep about it. Wellbeck, Young, Riise last week. That was worthy of a 3 match ban it was terrible. But no, her got a penalty for it.

really? for me diving and cheating is way worse than violent conduct. mostly because you can't always see the intent with violent conduct and also what is deemed violent now wasn't a few years ago.

Yes. Stamping on someone is worse than trying to win a penalty. Or if you going down the cheating route then you have to include every incident - like players claiming for corners and throw ins when they know full well it isnt theirs. Its still dishonest and its still cheating.
Diving to winn a penalty has never put a player out the game for 6 weeks with an injury.

Tell that to Ricardo Vaz Tê.
. Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
