Bloody Foreigners!!!

how come no uproar regarding the ease with which an englishman went down for a penalty??...unless of course A. Young is not English..

[gaizka_mendieta]

Even the commentators were saying English players can get away with constant diving without being labelled as such.Soon as a foreigner falls over,the knives are out...funny that.

not to mention how often 'big clubs' (man u & chelsea) get favourable decisions....anywhere else ie Italy and the words..."corruption, bribary and fixed" get thrown around.....

Apparently it's down the the influx of foreigners......(so the commentators say).

"I have never intentionally tried to dive ... It isn't fair for players to dive and try to cheat the other team. And it is not just cheating your opponents, you are cheating the fans as well" – Wayne Rooney

"If I ever saw one of my team-mates diving, I'd definitely have a word" – Steven Gerrard

"I can speak about the England lads and I think it is something we don't do. We're too honest" – John Terry

Haven't seen the incident you speak of but it's coming more and more into the game. Even saw Millwall player go down very easily the other day and I never thought that would happen. Brilliant article by Gary Neville on the subject at the weekend in the Daily Mail.

I don't agree with him often but his opening paragraph is so true about not letting people see you're hurt. The English game has always been a physical but honest one and it's the game that I was brought up on.

I played yesterday and a good hard game was had without a single booking. There would have been red cards if this game was played in australia or on the continent.

To say the diving in the English game which is so prevelant now isn't from a foreign influence is truly laughable and shows a distinct lack of understanding of the culture of our game.

That's right, it's everyone else's fault.
