To be brutally honest, it reminds me of the exaggerated way in which the Black and White Minstrels looked when blacked up; just needed the white lips. Certainly very naff, and socially unacceptable in the 21st. century.

Ha ha ha ha!
A minute before that Mariappa incident Joel Ward, already on a yellow, committed a foul and the most blatant yellow card offence you could ever wish to see!
You lot are priceless!

If Hemed's 'stamp' was worth 3 games out then Dwayne deserves at least the same?

There should also these days be an equal number of penalties to corner kicks as at every single one players wrap up and completely bear hug attackers.

So you’ve compaired him to a black and white minstrel, then the next breath you’ve said it’s socially unacceptable?
Maybe you should have left the minstrel reference out of this debate.

WTF are you doing on a rival’s message board at 7.30 on a Sunday morning? You need to get a life.

And there was me thinking this thread was about the removal of Ricicles from our supermarket shelves!

He ended up reaping what he sowed in the end. Deserved a yellow for diving and another for studding the keeper but the one time that was a genuine penalty he gets a yellow which in hindsight he deserves. Needs to think about the story of the boy that cried wolf

I would instigate a 12 month ban for anyone caught/booked for cheating twice in a 12 month period. IMO that threat would put an end to it, overnight.

Its All Too Beautiful
How many defenders take a dive? Very, very few, because they have everything to lose and little to gain. How many strikers and midfielders dive, very many, because they have everything to gain and little to lose. Its the fans that are being ripped off and mugged off here, because we are also able to judge whether its a dive or not, players and coaching staff are cheating on their own fans.
But what is cheating? In the context of this thread it seems to be about Zaha diving as if diving is the only way to cheat in football. Isn't cheating any deliberate infringement of the laws of the game to gain an unearned advantage? That would then include any deliberate foul - those 'taking one for the team' fouls that clearly fit that definition - a deliberate infringement of the laws of the game. Would we be happy to see Dunk or Stephens punished because in a couple of matches they've had to put in a 'reducer' challenge?
