    A reddit user has collected the best dives of the year and created a website for voting, he wants to make an annual event out of this.

    You can cast your votes here.

    I can't see Adryan getting beat in this one :D

    Is there any context for that Adryan one? The first tackle looked like a free but he had to be taking the piss with the flopping around?

    The best dive (if you could even call it that), I've seen in years.

    Dive/invisible taser attack. Hilarious stuff. :cool:

    I wouldn't count Robben as a dive and Suarez, Adyran, Gonzalez are all play-acting, not diving. Terrible list of nominations really.

    If that's a foul, football has entered the gutter.

    He steps on Robben's foot so it is. It's nowhere near enough contact for Robben to go down so it's a dive. A penalty would not have been awarded had Robben not dived though.

    Ah lighten up will you, the only one that doesn't really apply is Suarez, the rest of them are fair enough though.

    Harry Kane on Sunday vs. Swansea was pathetic. At the time I gave him the benefit of the doubt and put it down to him losing his balance, but he claimed afterwards that he was fouled.

    Pocognoli for West Brom against Villa last week was both the worst and most bizarre I've seen this year.

    A sentence that sums up the problem with diving and why it wont be eradicated. There are actually people out there who agree with you.




    I pity them.

    I'd echo what was said previously. "If that's a foul, football has entered the gutter."
