Dele Alli - biggest ever diver in the EPL?

Looks like two more dives in today's game, no penalties given but no bookings either! But Lanzini is only the 2nd player to ever receive a retrospective ban in the EPL (yes I know a pen was awarded to us). Of course, the media love Alli & Spurs, so little is ever said about it. Hardly a game seems to go by with yet another Alli dive!

He's more likely to get straight tens than a card

You won't see Alli, Kane or other England team players punished for shocking tackles and dives.

You see they earn money for the FA and they can't have their 'poster boys' being punished or it might impact on their national team merchandising. Anyone who thinks they are impartial is stupid.
It's plain as day that they favour those who they want.
Too much money in the sport and conflicts of interest.

David Healey for me, although Michael Owen and Juergen Klinsman were both dreadful too.

When he was a player ib hated Robbie cheating diving cunt savage with a passage.

Ali is much worse.

A Citeh supporting mate told me once they nicknamed him "Lee Won Pen"
To be fair though he was nowhere near such a chest as Diving Alli

Re: Dele Alli - biggest ever diver in the EPL?

Any referee of competence and integrity would book him in every match.
Unfortunately there are no such referees.
And the FA and Premier league just like to pretend it doesn’t happen

Steven Gerrard liked a dive

Drogba was pretty good as he threw in an agonised scream for good measure.

No mention for Stevie ‘Are we in need of a goal?’ Gerrard and his Olympic standard antics for most Liverpool matches in the last ten minute or so?

I'm glad they highlighted it on MOTD2.

Re: Dele Alli - biggest ever diver in the EPL?

I see a couple of people in the game have come out and said it will be alright if he does it in the summer. Now I'm not against these cunts going down easily as some are (it's the career threatening tackles that gets my back up) but for people in the game to come out and say that is imo fucking disgraceful.

Re: Dele Alli - biggest ever diver in the EPL?

What the game has become unfortunately, as most people 'within' the game, all just say it's part of it now and accept it.

Probably why I don't watch much football now, as I was brought up in an era when there was proper tackling and not much play acting around, so I hate it.

Each to their own.

Re: Dele Alli - biggest ever diver in the EPL?

I really don't know how he gets away with it so much! Slightest touch and he's over. The so-called experts usually say that he's entitled to go down... mugs!

When I think of how Paolo got treated by so many refs with what today would be cast iron certainties for a penalty. Remember that game when he wanted to come off after having 3 definite pens refused?

Book or send the horrible little turd off....

Re: Dele Alli - biggest ever diver in the EPL?

The ex pros are mostly ignorant around all this. Their favourite line is that he was touched so is entitled to go down as if it is somewhere in the rules that you’re not allowed to touch someone on a football pitch.

Not that I’m giving Alli and the worst offenders a pass because I’m not but the referees are also complicit in this. They won’t give a penalty unless someone does go down which also leads to people exaggerating contact.

Re: Dele Alli - biggest ever diver in the EPL?

Ali, Kane, Zaha, Wiltshere, Sterling, Rose, Walker, Rashford/ The list goes on, and on. That's why I wont be cheering on England this world cup out in Russia. Cant stomach a fucking cheat!!! And to think we could have "Supporters" cheering these cunts on!!! No fucking way!!!
