He's the least talented one in One Direction certainly.

Part of the game mate, one of the reasons England suffer at international level..

You see, you can stay on your feet and be thought of as honest hardworking and a genuine guy, or you can, as everybody else that wins stuff does, go to ground and get the pen...

Here's some spooky proof for you....

Stephen gerrard dives first game of the season because they're loosing to some team, the ref gets all embarrased realises gerrards cheated and calls it intent, they equalise from the spot, denying two points from the plucky honest set of lads....

Wonder if that honest bunch of lads missed those two points in the end...

One thing I've been a little confused about:
- a bad mistimed tackle on a player = cheating and risk of injury for the other player
- a dive to win a foul = cheating and no risk of injury

Why is the latter held in such disregard? Ultimately, both are cheating and trying to get an advantage through methods that are against the rules of the game. If you get caught out on either, you risk a yellow card. Why the fuss?

Sorry Houso but a foul isn't cheating. It's against the laws of the game and so will be punished by the referee accordingly. That's why we have a ref.
A dive is a blatant attempt to fool the referee into making a mistake (and make him look a complete dick in a lot of cases). It's only a recent change to the laws that has made "simulation" a yellow card offence, it wasn't deemed necessary for a hundred years before the plethora of cheating bastards started turning the game into a nonce fest* rather than a "mans game".

* I obviously exclude my, "soon to be favourite player" Hendo in this statement.

The rise of diving coincides directly with fifa's campaign to rid the game of proper tackles

I saw the interview with the lad on sky sports as well. Very strange admission to make

I still don't see the difference Grecs.

Diving (simulation yadda yadda) is against the rules of the game, and results in a yellow... just like a bad foul.

And I'm looking forward to the name change, I need a fresh angle. Not that it will be necessary as Hendo is about to start banging them in,

In most cases diving is done to con the ref into thinking that the opposition player has fouled him when indeed he hasn't.

With a foul, forgetting the honest 'I was going for the ball ref' for a moment, but the cynical, deliberate foul (often taking a booking for it), the player is brought down to stop them progressing. The player knows it'll be a foul and accepts the punishment. So quite different as he goes into it accepting the punishment before making the tackle.

I suppose the comparison to diving is a player making a tackle or challenge with the intent of getting away with it. A shirt pull or an off the ball incident etc.

 

[Kenilworth]

Houso - How many goals is Hendo on season to date? - Can't recall if it has changed much on the last 2 months

Looking forward to the end of season poll on your new forum handle

I saw a bit of the game last night. Towards the end, a Swindon attacker knocked the ball past the 'keeper and could easily have gone down. He didn't, but the angle was just too tight for him to score.

The commentator and pundit (not voices I recognised) then discussed whether he should have gone down and the commentator opined sagely that there is no right or wrong in that situation. He went on to say that going down would be professionalism but couldn't find a word to describe an attacker staying on his feet, presumably because he didn't want to say honesty and playing to the rules.

They concluded that although the incident didn't matter, it would have been crucial if the score had been 0-0 at the time. So, there we have it, flexible morality.

Coventry were very timid and particularly awful in midfield. They played 2 up top but didn't get up to support the Washing Machine or Simeon Jackson. By contrast Swindon went forward in numbers and supported the front two guys - sometimes 3 or 4 in and around the box.

btw David Prutton, ex Forest and ex Pig was the "expert" summariser - think he played for Cov as well at some stage.

Crowd was fecking useless just over 7k - Wow. I know it was on TV and they are in a sticky patch but 7k?
