Yeah he may of dived ONCE and he is immidietly a cheater by your standards now? What about Christiano Ronaldo, Rooney, Drogba, Ibrahimovic and others?? They are allowed to do that every game, and it's fair then? Come on, it's football, he got a penalty, even UEFA announced later that there was contact, so why argue? He is an excellent player, came of a broken leg, didn't play for a year, so he was afraid to get fauled like that. That's really all that was there.

 

They're all cheaters. One more then another. That still doesn't make it right now does it?

 

Yeah, I mean Eduardo "the cheater". That's exactly who I was referring to. The guy who intentionally cheats all the time, and uses that cheating to create wins for Arsenal. Without his masterful cheating, they'd be relegated to the third division. We were lucky to sign him. That's the guy I was talking about. He had a decent game coming on late as a sub. If he would have cheated, it would have been much better, though. And probably like 6 or 7-1. In fact, I think kicking the ball backwards is kind of cheating. Definitely way worse than a reckless tackle that nearly ended the career of a fantastic world-class player...

 

I'm glad we're on the same page about this.

YouTube - Didier Drogba diving

 

Hey - Calling Rooney a diver is WRONG. I can't count how many times Rooney could have fallen in the box after strong challenges and he kept his feet...

 

Well if you think so, type in "Rooney dives" on youtube.com and get a nice selection of his dives, some the same as Eduardo did. But for that matter, you can see that Eduardo in hos whole career has done it at that game, while Rooney does it on a regular basis there. And don't get me started on the broken leg, fear of contact and everything that goes with that.
