OutByEaster? Posted March 15, 2019 Moderator Share Posted March 15, 2019 I think it should be a yellow card for diving outside the box and a red card inside the box. Similar to the way handball works with a yellow outside of a scoring opportunity and a red for preventing a goal. Aren't Walkers owned by Pepsi?

And if you think that is bad, you should think more about what is happening with Burnley and Yorkshire Tea. Their sponsorship of football bothers me greatly.

I went to Walsall-Portsmouth the other night. The Portsmouth right back went down in the second half every time a Walsall player was anywhere near him, and got a free kick every time. HE could've been sent of 3 times over for diving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate this. Ball going into the corner, full back waits for contact, goes down at the slightest brush, and linesman waves his flag like a man possessed, chuffed that he can give a decision. It's one of those things in football that has become so routine that people don't even notice it. It's only when you step back and look at it that you think it's really weird. A bit like goalkeepers hanging onto the ball for 20 seconds. If a newcomer to football watched that knowing there was a "6 second rule" they'd be wondering what was going on.

Can’t post it, but it’s on twitter if you want to see it, Paul Ince being sent off for a player pretending to have been hit by him while playing for Inter is up there for me. Genuinely incredible. Search for “Paul Ince sent off Italy” if you’re curious. As I now know how to upload tweets on VT I’ll upload it. Thinking about it, I’m not even sure it counts as a dive to be honest, more some form of performance art - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
