    Askew was a bit of diver too. Not the one off here.

    I'd have him back. Curtis will be disappointed with his positioning.

    Snodgrass goes down more than any other player I've seen in a City shirt this season, I don't remember him being like that when we first signed him, although when we first signed him, he spent a year out. But he wasn't like this in the Championship was he?

    Mike Jones (ref yesterday) is just a bad ref. Every game he's involved with has controversy.

    He was the twat that disallowed Geo's goal at Burnley in 2009 and them sent him off when he slipped. Hated him ever since (that's Jones not Geo <laugh>)

    He's just a ****e ref.

    Remember him coming on for Norwich against us and throwing himself to the ground a lot.

    If it's against the rules it's cheating.

    True it has become an increasing part of the game but only because the officials have allowed it to. As with ethics in business, staying within the rules has been allowed to become a disadvantage.

    Not only an offence of simulation but also breaching Rule E3(1), by bringing the game into disrepute.

    As is "taking one for the team" by tripping a breakaway on the halfway line. but at least that's "honest" cheating if there can be such a thing.

    Don't forget giving Alexander a penalty when he fell over the ball.
    On Twitter today a Palace fan was saying he's never seen anyone dive so easily. :emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0140-rofl:
    I reminded him who played for Palace, Zaha & Benteke!<badger>

    I agree with you. But I wonder if PL players see diving as "honest" cheating too.

    Not sure how even they could, it is by definition, "dishonest".

    But responsibility for it's increasing negative influence on the game must lie with the governing body at least as much as with the cheating players.

    Naaa, forget about Davies losing his man and just blame Marshall! That's garbage defending from Curtis and it's not the first time this year. A centre half would be somewhere near the top of my priority list so we stop leaking goals.

    Yes. There shouldn't need to be contact to give a penalty. Hark back to that N'Gog dive against Birmingham years ago which everyone went mental about as a perfect example. N'Gog stands there and takes the contact from that lunge, he probably (almost certainly) gets a broken leg. He jumps over the challenge and tries to carry on - his run is slowed down, he has to regain balance and there are defenders around when he was about to shoot anyway, and he doesn't get a penalty. So he's no choice but to throw himself to the floor.

    I ****ing hate cheating and diving but playing honestly gets you nowhere, you don't get **** all for it. That needs to change.

    Just as a matter of interest I saw Andros Townsend come out onto the pity, did he play?

    It's rather irritating that this goes on every week, the only difference being as others have pointed out, the more canny players make sure to give a little kick out to ensure contact before dropping to the ground, and the pundits all ****ing congratulate them! They're always saying someone is 'entitled to go down' and criticising a defender who has clearly been cheated. Yet one of our players does it, against Palace of all teams, a side who got promoted to the PL despite being distinctly average at the time, but thanks to being awarded something like 13 penalties that season with Zaha and Bolasie jumping about, and everyone goes nuts like it's a new phenomenon.

    Players do it because they can get away with it

    Can't agree more - you dive you are trying to con the referee - you "take one for the team" you expec t retribution for it

    As for Snodgrass' post match comments, if he knew it wasn't a penalty, why didn;t he tell the ref during the game or intentionally miss the penalty? (probably already been said but I don't fancy 22 pages of reading to find it)

    Larsson did it against Wolves a few seasons ago and, pretty much, got the sam response from our fans as you lot are giving Snodgrass so <applause>

    Hate cheating. Always have always will - sad reality is, I coach my sons U12's team and they even do it - even heard an opposition coach telling his player "well done" for winning a penalty (although my son doesn't dive as he knows what he'd get from me!)
