And now you've got Mourinho, the man who brought flopping as an entire team tactic to the PL his first time with Chelsea it's only going to get worse. A team famous for diving now managed by a manager famous for encouraging players to dive. ... You're doomed.
Every team had cheats but to use Gerrard when you've had guys like Ronaldo, Young and Scholes is just laughable.
3 game ban for "simulation". retrospective action, its the only way. its infuriating when the opposition do it, and embarrassing when your own team do it.
I wish they would. an elbow gets it but a flop over then is not a danger to anyone and someone will argue they have to have different punishments. Right now its a yellow card offense. the benefit from trying is a penalty that coudl win the game.. the risk and reward is way off on this.
An elbow is a moment of madness, usually born of frustration. A flopp is a calculated act, designed to cheat the ref and the other team. I know which one i would deam the worst. I can not stand it when i see liverpool players go over easily, i hate seeing players act like they have been shot. It demeans the entire game.
90% of felliani and terry's actions are quite deliberate and thuggish. I hate dives and i'd add i hate seeing players exaggerate totally as well. ok you did get fouled.. do you need to roll about and flick your head up and all that to show it.. i saw mr firmino do this v spurs... so obvious.
His name is Daniel Goodfellow. A lot of the media simply referred to him as Daley's partner and even cut him out of some photos. I bet as Daley came last in the solo event you could discern Goodfellow mouthing quietly, "What's my name now, bitches?"
