Lol @ Celtic fans complaining about diving, for years they have celebrated McGeady, Nakamura, Sutton and Petrov to name but a few serial divers.

It's the way people play football now. It happens everywhere. No side has the moral high ground here. It's pathetic to see grown men falling over with virtually no contact when you see other contact sports where guys get big hits frequently and just get up and play.

Funniest thing about is now that Uefa are involved he'll probably get a 2 game ban for games he wouldn't have played anyway.

I wonder how long before these prima donnas use blood capsules in a vain attempt to not look so pathetic ?

The one that seriously made me want to harm someone was the Brazilian fairy that got the ball kicked at his leg and went down holding his face ... that got me so bloody angry.

Mexican goalkeeper did it in a world cup qualifier I believe, in the early 90's.

I'm sure there was one south american keeper who hid a razor blade on his glove to use for this too, actually that may have been something to do with a firework being thrown, ignore me...

This was what i was thinking of, i am wrong Mexico were banned for fielding ineligeble players in a youth tournament and therefore were banned from Italia 90.

It was Chile

Razor blades. In a World Cup qualifier between Brazil and Chile in 1989, Roberto Rojas, the Chile goalkeeper, decided he’d had enough of getting a good stuffing. In order to try to get the game replayed, he threw himself to the ground, stabbed himself in the face with a blade he’d concealed in his glove and claimed he’d been hit by a missile. Pandemonium and the inevitable abandonment ensued. Chile were thrown out of the next World Cup, and Rojas was banned for life.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has called on referees to stamp out diving by suspending guilty players.
Chelsea's Shaun Wright-Phillips is the latest Premiership player to be accused of diving in order to get an opposition player sent off.

And Wenger said: "We have to fight it and there is only one way to punish people diving obviously: suspension.

"Once it is in the game it is difficult to get it out. Once a guy knows he might be punished he will not dive."

Wright-Phillips was accused of diving in Chelsea's 1-0 FA Cup quarter-final win on Wednesday and Newcastle defender Robbie Elliott was sent off.

"My view without going into any individual case is that we are all as managers to fight against it," Wenger said.

"Sometimes the players dive just because they pushed the ball too far and the only way to get something out of the situation is to dive.

"We are all managers who can never say that one of our players has not dived. Nobody can say that in our league.

"I can say that when my team are not involved I am 100% against it."

lol i liked what he said today " he wasnt diving he was protecting himself"

I'm sorry to say this and I really am not trying to inflame the situation but this has been taken to ridiculous proportions and is sounding more and more like a severe case of sour grapes from not just the bhoys but the media in general.

Okay it was a dubious penalty but we see several of these every week and apart from boldie nobody sees it as a hanging offence.

The guy(Eduardo) has just come back after an appalling injury kept him out for eighteen months at the peak of his powers and if he was reluctant to make contact with a hulking great goalkeeper twice his size bearing down on him, who can blame him.

We won 5-1 on aggregate completely outplaying the opposition who incidentally tried quite hard imo to outphysicalize us(kick us off the pitch) in the first leg which was perceived as our Achilles heel and nobody is even mentioning that.

Build a bridge guys, get over it and stop getting wound up by the media would be my advice.

The word bollocks springs to mind. If you're happy with cheats just admit to the character flaw - yo'd get more respect.

Nowhere can I recollect anyone saying Arsenal weren't the better team, or even that there any case for Celtic going through. It's just an absolute disgust with a cheat who has enough skill he didn't need to do it.

Straws, clutching at.

It was a dive. The media didn't decide that, Eduardo did. Take the Arsenal specs off and you will see it is a dive.

Diving is ruining football, I can't stand it when people say it's a part of the modern game. Why does it have to be a part of the modern game? If uefa/the fa/sfa start coming down hard on these pricks then it will start to have an effect. They think they can get away with it cause only 1 out of 50 cases gets punished.

I'm not sure that your respect means that much to me any more Rod, it was a game of football ffs.
