To be fair, I do think that Gerrard has been punished unfairly for one or two high-profile dives that he did to con the ref. One was where he "threw" his trailing leg out behind him as he was actually diving, and video replays showed clearly that there had been no contact.
Suarez, on the other hand, is up there with the likes of Eduardo.
The only real diver that we had was Klinsman, and he made a joke out of the whole thing.
Gareth Bale is just as bad as Suarez is 'supposed' to be. He has only been cautioned for 'simulation' nearly as much as Suarez, and considering replays and pundits showed at least 2 of Suarez's booking for diving were incorrect also (according to Gary Neville last week and earlier tonight who showed the footage to prove it), so I don't think Spurs fans should be given Suarez too much ****. However, Bale is British and as Fergie intimated today, its only really them dirty foreigners who dive as their the ones who brought it into the English game in the first place. Funny thing is as well I bet you no-one on here can name a time when Suarez actualy dived and the ref got it correct. Every time he's supposedly dived replays have shown there was contact. he play-acts and exaggerates like Stevie can sure, nearly all p,ayers do that though, and thats not the same as intentionally diving without contact.
A lot of this Suarez diving crap is a media created myth and by people who are very influential in the game continually bring it up. When you ask these people to tell you when did Suarez dive as if its so often, every week, it cant be very hard to bring one to mind, they never can. Then they run off to Youtube and send me a clip, then I tell them that everyone of those clips there was obvious contact, or I send them a clip of someone like Neville showing why the ref was wrong, inparticular the yellow he got a few weeks back at Sunderland where again, Neville uses his little replay footage thing to show their was definite contact which was enough to trip him up.
He exaggerates, and can go down easy, but he doesn't 'dive'. This applies for the majority of players though in today's game no matter what their ethnicity, but I can't remember a time in England (someone was so desperate to prove me wrong they sent me 5 vids of him at Ajax as if I care about that hes a LFC player in England now) when he went down without any contact like some British players have done in the last couple of seasons and got away with. (Its funny when Sky show him top of the yellows for simulation which plays further to the idea that he is the leagues worst culprit, but pay no attention to the Chelsea and Utd players who have been diving the last 2 seasons but mainly getting away without getting a yellow for it. I don't think there was one Utd player on the whole chart of yellows for simulation, making out that Utd have nobody at all who dives which we all know isn't true.
Rodger's is drilling the moaning and play acting and exaggerating out of him slowly too (which judged by the Norwich game seems to be working as he didn't bitch and moan about not getting that stone wall pen as much as he used to would have, and he could of easily went down in the area under a clumsy diving slide tackle from a Norwich defender in the lead up to the 3rd goal and got the fella set off as he was last defender, but he didn't. Last year he would of, so imo something is definitely changing there).
I find it funny when the FA, football media and old boys club of Fat Sam, Fergie, Woy and the like go on about kicking racism out of footy etc, when its them lot who are blinded by their institutionalized Xenophobia and low laying racism, that is all too often displayed in acts such as Fergies latest diatribe or the absolute near racist bile Parlour came out with on Sky the other day. Hypocrits the lot of them.
Suarez is no angel at all, and I can get angry with his petulance and over exaggeration, especially in his first 12 months here when he was a lot worse, but he's nowhere near as bad as the pantomine villian he is portrayed as by the media and non-Liverpool fans.
