Diving in Football , Time to punish ?

[Crazyface]

Lots of moaning about it all, yet you pay for Sky to watch this or even actually pay to attend live. Just stop watching on TV and going to live games and things will change. Until then.....shut up maoning.

PS I don't watch Premiership or have Sky or even BT.

What has it got to do with Sky/BT? Do they have a place on Fifa's rules committee? It's about rule changes/enforcement not paying to watch on sky - daft comment.

Personally I would go for snipers.

I've often heard the phrase uttered "He's went down like he's been shot!!" Maybe we should see just how realistic some of these divers really are

Well that says it all. Its all about the money for him

What is the other option these days ? good atmosphere in league 2 ?

The diving issue goes to the very heart of the many problems with football, IMO. How often are we told that it's ok for a player to go down in the face of any challenge. This is actually cheating and the players, managers, pundits and commentators are all to blame.
Football isn't a sport anymore. It's a game and there is a big difference. And it's a game that is run appallingly badly, to such an extent that I sometimes think they do it in purpose so that people like us will talk about it.
And then they are surprised when players start fixing matches.
It gets more like WWF every day.

I can see what your saying, but I'm looking at the bigger picture. If no one paid TV companies for their footie fix, who then give the money to the teams, then the teams couldn't afford these foreign t0ssers who have infiltrated our game and ruined it by their diving all over the place and rolling around like little girls when they get tackled. Oh and we may actually still have a half decent national team. Enjoy this World Cup, as this will be the last we (England) will ever reach.

Sorted !

Just let the refs referee.

Complaints about sanitised atmosphere but then wanting to sanitise (even further) the product.

The prob is currently the refs are making momumental mistakes that are costing teams points

That is true - players don't help but there have been some shocking decisions in recent seasons
