How many players will dive next weekend?

How many players will dive next weekend and how many bookings will ref's give out for diving?

Will they support and should they support Mark Clattenburg by booking players who go over easy.

I think there will be a big clamp down for the next few weeks and lots of yellow cards.

Is this a last man standing kind of thing?

Four dives, one booking is my guess

all man united players that play. nobody else.

You never know maybe paddy power will do it. But with all the fuss made so far this season about diving players and when a ref ends up sending off a player and all hell breaks out over it. Maybe it's time to for the ref's to take no **** for a few weeks and book anyone who looks like they have gone down to easy even if they are wrong after a couple of weeks of doing this and players getting bans maybe just maybe it will stop players falling to easy.

Hopefully Suarez does a few more diving celebrations.

On MOTD when Phil Neville dived, the commentator made a bit of an issue of it, it seems the commentators don't want players punished, they want certain players punished.

If he died I'm pretty sure they would make an issue of it.

Didn't they just say that he was the last player you'd expect to dive?

Fair enough comment, can you honestly say you're surprised when you see the likes of Suarez, Young or Bale taking a fall?

To me the tone suggested, look at the refs booking the true Englishman Phil Neville while the true cheaters like Suarez are let away with it. The commentator didn't condemn it and nothing was mentioned about the dive, even though diving is very much a hot topic atm especially in that match.

Are you saying that the commentator was rascist? :eek:

There are plenty of English/British players that dive, Young, Bale, Wellback, Neville

but yet diving seems to some managers and commentators seems to be defined by Luis Suarez, a foreigner, suprise, suprise, (He is a rascist as well don't you know)

The most pertinant comment was made by Tony Cascarino a few weeks ago on the Last Word, when he explained away in some part, Suarez's comment to Evra as coming from a player from a third world country who knew no better !!!!!!!!!
