Meyler wins soft free kicks with what pundits call 'clever play'. He goes down when he feels contact from behind and gets into positions to be fouled rather than to play the ball. It's not diving but not much better and still cheating for me. That sort of thing is more common than diving though, seems like most PL players do it. I think we suffer results-wise from not having enough players who do it but I'm not sure if I'd want to gain success from cheating.
I really think everyone's accepted Brady is a diver just cos Allardyce said it but he was talking bollocks as usual because his team got pulled up for one of those 'if you give a penalty for that there'd be 15 every game' type fouls in the box. Still a foul though. He should have focused on the blatant Livermore handball for his moaning instead of villainising Brady which was completely unfair.
****. But I've found over the years that my moral compass goes massively awry where HCAFC is concerned.
