Wenger wants refs to ban divers

<< < (2/3) > >>

wcsoldier:
Lol at Pires diving , this dude has been the nicest dude on the court, never said shit when he hurt by defenders ...... He may dive 1 or 2 times but Inzaghi, Ravanelli, Djorkaeff are/were divers, Pires hell no

KURUPTION-81:
Pires will be known as a diver because of that stephanovic incident.

I agree with wenger but i also believe it will be very hard to prove what is a dive and what isnt. For me recent incidents involving lee bowyer, sean wright phillips and del horno were all dives but the bbc pundits all claimed they werent as they were just trying to avoid contact with the player. Where as they called drogba a diver because he exaggerated his fall while been pulled back. Its up to the ref to get it correct when it happens, i think more importantly the FA need to look at harrasment of referes, players from all teams need to show the ref more respect.

da_notorious_mack:
yeah the thing that gets me tho..is theres already rule against diving in place...there jus too inconsistent...

take the liverpool vs benfica game 4 example

crouch goes down...gets a yellow for diving....benfica get a freekick...tv replays show contact...so was he divin?..or jus had too much momentum?...

10 mins later gonzalez goes down...the ref dosent award the freekick...so surely he was diving too?...an t.v replays shown there was no contact...

we dont need new rules..jus need to stamp out inconsistencies....

Don Seer:
i wanna ban foreign managers and owners..

quit sticking up for the french!  :laugh:


i.m.o. people will always do whatever they can to gain an advantage, it's human nature.

it's like when you're playing yourself and the defender is running at pace towards his own goalie, don't u give him a little shove in the back to hope they collide?  i know you've done it.

it's just like liverpool's goal in the semi-finals of the CL last year.

did garcia run to the ref saying, "yeah he cleared it just in time" or did he run away claiming a goal he himself prolly knew wasn't one?

diving is just the same as that, which is just the same as kicking the ball away to waste time in the last 10mins if you're winning.

these are all ways to gain an advantage to win, which is only human nature and I can't see disappearing any time soon.
