Players who dive or go down easily and cry like bitches and making themselves look like idiots (Ronaldo, Drogba, Gerrard, Grosso) should get a nice hard tackle like Roy Keane and Deschamps used to do back in the day.

As great as Ronaldo was for Utd, he really used to piss me off sometimes with his diving. That's why I can't stand watching small Italian or Spanish teams play... bunch of wussies.

There's nothing wrong with video refereeing. Simply give the referee a small LCD screen for his own use or for the linesman and fuck everyone else, they don't get one.

Alternatively, punish every cheating wank post-game like Eduardo (except don't overturn it like a huge pussy UEFA)

Liverpool are a disgrace. Ngog clear dive. Gerrard is the biggest diver in the EPL.

At least there is contact when Drogba goes down. I can't remember the last time a Chelsea player dived (no contact)... Lampard in the FA Cup final doesn't count because that was actually a penalty.


Hmmm....Drogba is built like a tank and when Liverpool played Chelsea he went down a total of 11 times. 9 of those the physios came on the pitch. I don't no why people are saying Liverpool are a disgrace after one dive, some teams have been peaching the dark art for years. Some people have very short a selective memory me thinks...

Also Gerrard the biggest diver in the prem? No way.



yes,i also blame the authorities/refs for rewarding diving.......if you just lightrly touch a player then they go down and the ref blows up,the ref should just carry on,it is like they have forgotten it is a contact sport for men,

it started in italy/spain years ago and now is everywhere

i wish each FA could decide there own reffing rules,everything is run by switzerland now,the english FA should just tell them to go f*ck themselves,we'll decide our own rules thanks and go back to having a bit of individuality again......for example like the offside rule,or sending people off for nothing......and weather effects how each country plays football,you'll get alot more sliding tackles in a country like england where it is always wet.....and it is a skill that should be appreciated not punished.....rant over

no more prem footy for a while now......sad face

Probably suicide.

 

"Germany and Hannover goalkeeper Robert Enke has died at the age of 32.

Hannover 96 president Martin Kind announced the death of the former Barcelona stopper on Tuesday afternoon, according to the agency dpa.

Nothing has yet been confirmed about the cause of death, but German source Morgenpost Online, early signs point towards suicide.

The website quotes a spokesperson from the Hannover police as saying, "Enke has thrown himself under a train at Neustadt am Rübenberge."

The incident is said to have taken place in the small town of Neustadt at around 18:25 local time. There has yet been no formal verdict of suicide, but police will give a press conference at 21:00 with more details.

Enke is survived by his wife, Teresa."
