thats true....

All the teams have them...and I just wish that the refs would be harsher or better in spotting the falling down act and have video evidence for the FA when ref doesnt do anything and punish the player with a 3 match ban.

I do find it annoying that fans ignore the fact that their team more than likely have benefited from dodgy ref decisions in the past and not said anything and then kick up a fuss when the decision goes against them.

Unfortunately, every team seems to do it and until it sorted throughout football, it will continue and no, I don't condone it.

Yes he did make the most of the tackle, but I do believe that the red card was correct.

I was slightly annoyed with Kuyt getting Fletcher booked, but I've not doctored a photo of Webb in a Liverpool shirt

If you read my post then you'd know I wouldn't condone it whether it be my team or not - a cheat is a cheat.

Only if other players, like Berbatov, are punished as well.

I did read your post and my point is that most fans seem to ignore what their team do and then kick up a fuss when something goes against them (as seen this weekend).

That's just one of my pet moans.

I think that the first step is to acknowledge that this is widespread.

Is this the best goal of the year?

Berbatov should get punished for just being Berbatov.

DocDutch · 10-01-2011, 14:47

Russ we all know you would love to have berbatovs poster on your wall

you have said so yourself quite a few times that you love him

and Pog yeah totally any diver should be suspended for 3 matches thats the only way to get rid of the problem.

Problem with that is that some teams wouldnt have strikers or midfielders left within 2 games.

It is difficult for referees, especially with incidents like yesterdays when the player did get touched by the defender. Deciding whether the contact is enough for the player to be put off balance and go down is whats difficult, even when seeing replays. But its something that players are expected to do now, if you feel contact, go down.

Uncle Peter · 10-01-2011, 18:27

Yesterday's game aside it's about time something was done about referees who feel that they have to be the centre of attention even if the decisions they make fly in face of common sense or are just blatantly wrong. Webb falls squarely into this category just as the likes of Uriah Rennie and Keith Winter did before him.

How a referee who allowed blatant acts of violence and thuggery to go unpunished during a world cup final is still officiating at any level is beyond me. All referees have a bad day at some point and make mistakes but this bloke takes the biscuit: you can bet your bottom dollar that something controversial is going to happen as soon as you see his name on the back of the programme.

Rangers VS Celtic in Round 5 of Scottish Cup.

Wow, that's pretty special, they hardly ever meet. And in such a prestigious tournament too, i can't wait!
