Drogs isn't a diver, he's a play actor. He knows he isn't going to win any fouls he just holds up play. Ashley Young dives to win penalties and get people sent off. Both aren't respectful practices but I'd prefer a play actor.
Agree completely, Drogs does get whacked a bit and hits the deck too often, but he doesn't dive without contact, looking for penalties.
First of all good luck to Chelsea,but on the Drogba point,if you are attacking the opponents goal and you pretend an opposition defender elbows you in the face how can you say your not trying to get the player sent off? please log in to view this image
Drogs,i aint arguing with you mate. My point is that how can Suarez,Drogba or whoever be sure their antics wont end up with an innocent player getting sent off.
Only havin a bubble mate I agree, I don't like to see Drogba diving but against Barca it's no holds barred imo!
Of course Drogba's not a diver - but when he finds the floor he just doesn't want to get up. Last week I saw the grass on the pitch rise quicker than him.
Fair point. Like you say, he doesn't actually 'dive' though. You wont see him running into a leg and swan diving ala Young or Gerrard.
He's pure theatre is our Drogs! I expect to see him on the stage when he gives up football! Iago in Othello at the Globe!
Yeah i agree. He just likes to make sure the referee notices the foul. And, if i recall correctly, in that instance he got twisted mid-air and landed really badly.
