Is his dive going to be investigated, or can they only do that if a penalty is given?
Has there still only been one suspension in the PL? Is this going teh same way as Mane's red for high feet and Mascherano's red for dissent?If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?

This is the picture the Guardian used. His right leg is nowhere near the challenge, he basically goes rigid and falls flat. Worra disgraceful attitude to his fellow pros

This form of diving where you stop playing the game and dive or otherwise move into contact created by the 'fouled' player is incredibly hard for a ref to clamp down on without VAR. Unfortunately, as we've seen, even then the idiots are hoodwinked by it as it's not something they are looking for. Spurs do it so often I am absolutely positive it's either under instruction or at least organised by a group of players sharing cheating strategies.Like blood on iron

What a **** rule then. Nothing was given, but it was a blatant dive. What's the deterrent then if you only get punished after winning a penalty? Roy Keane missed the CL final by taking a red to help getting United there. Surely 99% of players will still dive if the worst punishment is getting a two game ban after the penalty is given. Players take professional reds for much less reward.If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?

Oh I agree and being known as a cheating diving cunt isn't a deterrent either. Pochiticino seems to abide it at best, at worst he encourages it.Originally posted by RedReet View Post
