Kane Diving
As Kane was booked for diving, oops sorry simulation, is this the behaviour of someone who has just received a New Years honour gong. Maybe we should start a petition up to have it taken away because it has been proven that he is actually a cheating barstool.

Not a good idea it would just make us look like bitter and twisted mugs

Re: Kane Diving
The one that I'm left scratching my head over is Mo Salah.

Not the dive in the last game, but the one before that... he got cited by the authorities for retrospective diving to win a pen, but he wasn't given a 2 match ban because 'there was contact'.

MANUEL LANZINI ANYONE?

The Liverpool favouritism, and media love in, makes me fucking sick.

Re: Kane Diving
Has anyone been banned for "Simulation" since Lanzini ?

cholo 9:50 Mon Dec 31
Re: Kane Diving
Has there been any retrospective bans for diving since Manuel and that other player (palace?) a couple of years ago? It seems they took that action to prove a point then didn't have the bottle to continue when higher profile (England) players from other clubs might have to be punished.

Re: Kane Diving
A token gesture which has had zero impact on diving

Sven Roeder 10:05 Mon Dec 31
Re: Kane Diving
The ‘diving ban’ has been put away it seems

What frustrates me is that every football fan sees Salah falling over and Kane and Alli (and others) playacting yet the referees keep giving them pens and free kicks.
It’s as if they know nothing about football and are gullible dupes.
Ah, it makes sense now

Manuel 10:28 Mon Dec 31
Re: Kane Diving
Disappointing to see the England captain diving.

Re: Kane Diving
Shock. Danny Murphy said it wasn't a dive on MOTD, as there was 'contact'.

Sven Roeder 10:35 Mon Dec 31
Re: Kane Diving
I noticed when the ref penalised him Kane ran towards him with his hand over his mouth to mask what he was saying.
Seems the actions of a cynical cheat.

Sven Roeder 10:37 Mon Dec 31
Re: Kane Diving
Danny Murphy is a reasonable pundit
As long as Spurs or Liverpool aren’t playing as then all objectivity goes out the window.

Footballers do it all the time now. Maybe refs should be micced up like in rugby? That might cut out a lot of the nonsense from players AND refs.

Sven Roeder 10:56 Mon Dec 31
Re: Kane Diving
You often see it when players are chatting to teammates as they come off or lining up a free kick.
What was Kane saying to a referee that wasn’t fit to be overheard?

Re: Kane Diving
Both of Salah's recent dives were ridiculous, he's sussed out in the past few games he's going to get them given so he's constantly looking to go down, shame really as he's a decent player and doesn't really need to do it.

Mind you, what's the old saying, 'cheating A...'

zico 11:42 Mon Dec 31
Re: Kane Diving
I just find it bizarre that players are being grabbed around the chest and thrown to the ground at corners and you don't get anything then you see the likes of Salah go down without any contact and getting penalties. Then you get those who do get whacked but stay on their feet like Arnie did a few weeks ago and also get nowt.

There is a lot of strange behaviour by footballers these days.. I still can't get my head around the taking off the shirt when you score a goal and in many cases throwing the shirt to the floor, your Clubs shirt - throwing it on the floor?!?!??! You get booked for it but players still do it. Baffled by that one.

Re: Kane Diving
What really fucks me off these days is how some of the professional pundits, managers, coaches etc are so against diving (apparently) but they will condone a player going down in the box if there is contact as if making contact means it is a foul and they have the right to drop to the floor.

I'm sure it was Dyche moaning about Diving the other week and he said something like "I'm not talking about players that go down when there is contact, I'm talking about when there is no contact and a player goes down". Sorry if that is not what he said word for word but that is how I heard it and for me that is fucking horseshit.

Is exaggerating the amount of contact made, any less deceitful than simulating contact? I don't think it is and I also didn't think that "contact" automatically makes it a foul either.

Whether there is contact made or not, if you are trying to con the ref into thinking that a foul was more dangerous or serious than it actually was, it's cheating and you should be banned. End of.

Re: Kane Diving
Entitled to go down is a phrase that grips my shit.

Kane's been doing it for years, remember him doing it against us to win a last min pen, think Alex Song was involved in the incident.

bubbleblower 12:32 Mon Dec 31
Re: Kane Diving
Winds me up too Bernie.

They all just casually say it as if it's allowed. It's bollocks.

"Kane's been doing it for years, remember him doing it against us to win a last min pen, think Alex Song was involved in the incident. "

Yep. We were winning 2-1 at the time with only minutes to go. The referee was Moss, hated him ever since.

He does that to hide his fat tongue.
