From what I’ve seen of Rose he’s already trying to work on this “skill”.

I hate it.  I don't want to win by cheating. I follow Ho Chi Minh City also and when we are winning they go down with cramp.  When, they are losing, however, nobody gets cramp.  We swear at the players and comment online at them for doing it.  They don't change though because most fans don't even realise what they're doing.  I usually get in free so I can't complain.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Ollie has been quoted in the Telegraph that he has promised that none of his Grimsby Town players will be caught diving – and has urged other managers to take responsibility for their teams.

Could just be kidology though !!!


After hearing Ollie have a go at the Chelsea playing that made a meal of Sons sending off a few weeks ago on Talksport Radio then I don’t think it’s kidology. On the phone in, Ollie also said he gave a player of his a “severe telling off” for diving. He seems proper old school.


Baldrick ! The only impression you can do is that of a man with no talent !!

My attitude is if everyone is going to try to win by cheating, what's the flipping point of playing football with rules? Why not just go out to kill each other? There's no difference morally in football between someone taking a dive and someone punching someone else.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Quoted from Gaffer58
I think it’s inbred into professional footballers, remember an FA Cup game between Chelsea and Brentford, I think Chelsea were winning about 4-0 but they were still falling over, to players it’s just the norm and their tiny brains cannot think about playing fair.


They don't give out points for fair play and taking part, this isn't school sports day, it's a professional game with large amounts of money on the line. Winners are the only ones who gain so everyone is always looking for something to give them a slight advantage or edge and gamesmanship is one of them.
