The biggest Alpha Male in football today?

Diving without being detected is just as much a skill as shirt-pulling without being detected.

Diving well takes skill, and if defenders get to pull shirts, why shouldn't attackers get to dive?

If you respect a tough defender, you should respect a diver too.

Cracking point

Saw people mention Bergkamp kicking defenders when refs weren't looking, surely that's just as much 'cheating' as a dive?

Sarcasm detector is broken.

Spend an entire page telling you why a player doesnt command "universal respect" above all others,how his teammates have been better proffesionals, and the type of player he is, and you turn around and ask me whether i repect diving? lol

Understanding that sarcasm can be tricky over the internet you ask me if im serious and i respond with the very term you used in the initial post when reffering to said player iv been criticising.


Flew right over your head, no biggie it happens.

Diving in recent times has become so ridiculous, not only the blatant ones like that but the Olympic dives over the faintest of contact.

I miss the days when football was considered a contact sport.

Oh my bad.

I didn't see that post of yours RE diving prior to this.

I understood the significance of you saying divers command "universal respect", I just thought you were being facetious - as you said, it's difficult to discern sarcasm via the internet.
