I never thought I'd see SWP rsort to diving and dirty tricks.Chelseas going to ruin one of the best young players I've seen for years.

MOTD panel last night were defending SWP - saying he's not that kind of player and it looked worse than it was.

Anyway, if diving's rife in the game it's because FIFA / the FA / referees aren't doing enough to stamp it out.

I'd be in favour of retrospective bans or fines for diving, using video evidence.

if diving was classed the same as a professional foul (which it is in essence) it would die out just as quickly

It's because he's English isn't it? They're still clinging to the idea that diving is somehow a foreign thing.

Quite.
The irony being the person leading the charge against diving seems to be Alan Shearer - guilty of more than the occasional 'sack of spuds' in his career.
