You can't expect us to take your post seriously after mentioning him? He's the opposite to diver.

its not that ronaldinho dives as such he just goes down like a sack of sh*t and just moans like a gobs*ite when he is fouled and starts looking to the ref with a 'im ronadinho ffs! Sure you'll have to give ME a free', expression on his face regardless of whether the challenge is fair or not. granted many more are ignorant enough with him. I honestly cannot stand the W**nker though

john kennedy of celtic took the ball firstly but him also i remember one time and he looked at the ref as if to say, 'what are you going to do about it?' time and time again he done it v chelsea last year though he took a few as well to be fair. If he was fouled then fair enough but normally its a run of the mill fair albeit physical challenge he gets.

hes a class player but drives me nuts..oh we forgot to mention michael ballack or who could forget rivaldos oscar winning WC02 performance v turkey in brazils first game.. incredible!!!

One of the main reasons I like him so much is that he gets the ****e beaten out of him and rarely goes down. example:

Can't think of a Blackburn player who dives TBH. Think if he did, he'd be ridiculed by the rest of the team

Dickov!!! Cant stand duff, people who are defending him...who are you kidding? If a player is within a metre radius i can predict that hes going to fall with his premeditated arms out so i dont hurt myself while falling to the ground technique. It gets quite annoying just watching him fall, yes fall...hes not fouled, he just falls down non stop! Drogba...anyone see him yesterday? haha that was bloody hilarious, he won the ball but an arm was near him...So he pulls off the sniper in the crowd routine, lavvitt! Sissoko was acting like a right ponse against villa at the weekend, i was actually laughing at a guy his size trying to dive, absolute joke. Van nistelrooy is like drogba but a good bit less theatrical. Pires is a diver, who suprisingly isnt as bad as some of the current gold medalists, he seems to have changed since the wind changed in one horrible horrible day . Got to love how the theatrical divers dont seem to know where to hold, they would be pushed over and be holding there knee with one hand and the face with the other. One way to eliminate the diver, give him something to moan about, or if hes going to fall, make sure you help him fall, faster.

That's what bias does, its not something we choose. We're all Irish. He goes down easily to win freekicks but so do 99% of players to win penalties. If you scored the amount of goals Chelsea do from set pieces you'll be trying to get as many as possible. I don't think its a coincedence that Deco rarely dives since he's not managed by Mourinho anymore. Porto were disgraceful against Celtic in the UEFA cup final.

And the next season in the CL. Deco can still be seen going down easily for Barca but under Mourinho it was just ridiculous.

divers have to be ronaldo
pires(imo the worst of the lot)
diouf

I think most people would admit that van Nistelrooy and Ronaldo are two of the worst. Honourable mentions to Didier Drogba and Robert Pires.

Can't believe someones mentioned Ronaldinho

After last night, Spit the Diouf has replaced Robbie Savage as my most detested player in the English game.

Robbie Keane annoys me as well, both for ireland and Spurs, mainly because he's so s*it at doing it! Who is ever gonna fall for Robbie's Platoon routine?

Dickov tends to be just as physical to centre backs as they are to him. Probably why he's earned the name "pest". I can't think of any occasions where he has dived though.

Robbie Savage! Total fecking cheat if also a hard-working one!

There's a difference between diving and just plain over acting. Savage is guilty of overacting and doing his best to wind up the opposition but not of diving IMO.

Blackburn went a full season without a single penalty (2003-2004) so if they have divers, maybe they need some lessons.

The peno where he just fell in the box, and he was asking for the peno while falling . Wasnt long ago.

Perhaps if you could specify a game it would be nice

The last penalty Blackburn got was against Chelsea and Zurab won that.

Dickov didn't dive. Upson was pulling him and, as far as I remember, he didn't even fall. The referee blew for it because of the pulling. It was like the peno Ireland won in the World Cup against Spain.
