I think Fellaini does have a tendency to use his elbows a little too much... One day one of the bigger guys is gonna nail him good and proper... Hope I get to witness it...

As for Neville's dive, as you indicate, not much chance of an outcry to follow... To his credit he showed sufficient humility in his post match interview that its unlikely we'll see him do similiar at any time in the near future...

Yes, I'll give him that - he did make a few lame excuses, but at least he admitted it.
 
Suarez....all that talent and yet he chooses to cheat, what does that teach our youngsters.
Ten years from now will we see all the teenage players copying his actions.

His behaviour and others like him will drive fans away from football.
 
Drove me out a while back. I used to travel from the Midlands to Edinburgh as I was a season ticket holder at Tynecastle and also an England member,would never miss an England game. I wouldn't travel to the end of the street now to watch a game involving the pros.Occasionally watch Leamington in on of the oofshoots from the Blue square leagues with my FIL.

For my money's worth they should do a similar thing to rugby, if the ref misses foul play the tv analysis later may show it and player could be carded post match. Managers would soon stamp on cheating if their players were racking up suspensions for it....cheating is ruining the game

I agree with that. Players might get away with it on the day sometimes but they always get busted when the panel looks at it. The more they do it the longer they get banned as well so serial offenders would be getting lengthy bans.
 
Our league has been going downhill for years due to people who constantly cheat. What gets me is how Suarez has managed to become the one who everyone has it in for. I have never seen anyone get away with as much blatant cheating as Terry. Man United spent many years where players would grab hold of refs swearing and abusing them trying to get things to go their way and nothing get done about it. Ronaldo even though IMO has been the best player in the world for years now, could give Tom Daley a run for his money as an Olympic diver.

Cheating in football started to become a big problem before Suarez was even born. But I did enjoy seeing him dive infront of Moyes...:rofl:
 
Talented footballer, yes. Dirty cheat yes.

Thing is, 90%+ of the players in the Premier League are the same. The difference is, they are called "Clever" not a cheat.

Fellaini is an example. Rooney is another.

Pretty much the reason I don't watch half as much football as I used to.
 
He does have sublime talent but sadly he'll be remembered for his diving more than his ability. On the flip side I do think he's a marked man from opposition and referees and doesn't always get the decision when he has been fouled. It seems that referees are getting serious about simulation recently but as the Chelsea game shows, especially with the Torres decision where I though he was clipped, it is just given them another headache rather than helping. That said Torres should have walked after the first challenge so perhaps justice was done
 
The thing is, the defenders are joining in on the act now - although can't blame them too much, as the strikers and wingers are still the worst.

Cheating is now endemic in the game, it's always gone on, but the last 10 years are a new low.

I used to be dead set against video referreeing, but reffing is so bad now that I would welcome it. Look at the Man U v Chelsea game for that also.
 
It will carry on as long as FIFA (who are dirtier and more corrupt than any footballer) let it. They refuse to bring in technologies and more important retrospective decisions. All it would take is a rule that blatant diving costs a 3 match ban and it would stop it. The same could be said for dangerous and violent acts.

You can not blame players when the stakes are so high and the heat of the moment passion allows them to make refereeing an absolutely impossible job.

I still look forward to double headers like today on the TV and then despise the constant cheating and appalling behaviour of the players and fans so wonder why I bother. Would never again spend money to watch a live game and would rather watch rugby instead where, in the main, the players and fans behave far better and the atmosphere is way less aggressive.

Why call it "simulation" when "cheating" would do just fine?!

I've always said that diving on the pitch outside the penalty area should be a yellow card. Diving in the penalty area gets a straight red.

Add to this a "Totting-Up" system where 3 yellows for "simulation" get a 3 game ban.
 
The highlight of the afternoon was seeing his perfectly good winner ruled out. Couldn't happen to a bigger runt.

Good to see refs finally make a stand against it today with Torres and Phil Neville rightly booked for hurling themselves to the ground. The excuse there was contact is the most pathetic reasoning ever. Contact ISN'T a foul, it's only a foul if the contact is bad enough to bring someone down. Torres was brushed by Evans and it wasn't enough to bring anyone down, let alone a 6ft athlete. He didn't fancy his chances of scoring so dived. The ref was bang on and anyone guilty of diving should be fined a weeks wages and banned for 3 games.

It'll be wiped out of the game within a few months.

Got 'robbed' at the end though...

Robbed?
How so?
Oh......................you mean the goal that should have stood, even though it was scored by someone who shouldn't have been on the pitch due to that horrendous tackle on Distin.
Robbed..........:rofl:.

Slime.
