A colleague of mine got an email from a customer of ours who is a Newcastle fan the day after the game. It started with " Has Lopez stopped rolling yet?"

Buckley dived against Palace, but it was in retaliation for Zaha's one earlier in the match - it's not impossible that it was on instruction.
The others, no.

He's got some ****ing cheek after the behaviour of his team last year.

Exactly. At the moment, diving is a gamble weighted so heavily in favour of teh diver that they are bound to do it.
Win. Penalty, and possibly a sending off.
Lose. I may get booked.
Yep, that's a gamble everyone will roll the dice on. Whereas, throw in a dive will inevitably show up on the video and get me a 6 game ban on Monday, and suddenly you don't roll the dice on that one.
In any one season, 1st offense 6 games, 2nd is 8 and the 3rd is 10 games. Sorted.
whos looking for sympathy? it goes on evrywhere including brighton and its time something was done about it
what behaviour? some of your players dive all over the place and when its proven against ANY club then they should be punished
try debating the matter and seeing the bigger picture instead of turning it into anti palace
Didikoi tried to foul Young outside the area (to prevent a clear scoring opportunity) and the ref makes a mistake and gives the penalty.
Honesty? Give it a rest
young was proven to have dived and was carded-thats what is being discussed
where would brighton have finished if every goal that came from a free kick or penalty earned by a diving brighton player was scatched off?
are you not aware that young was proven to have dived earlier in the game-or does it suit you to ignore that?
Yeah but as we are a top Championship team we'll probably get away with it more often than not, just like you did last season. Zaha and Murray were very good at it. However you are cannon fodder this year and you are unlikely to get many decisions at all against the top Premier League clubs, better get used to it or you will be whinging all season
It's wrong but I will enjoy it
top ? not the last time I looked and you got away with it last season just like evry other club does at some stage regardless of what league or position- its cheating and needs to be dealt with and that applies to my club as well- pity you have such a blinkered view of your own club

That's not the point. It's not our chairman coming out with massively hypocritical statements.
Regardless of whether Young had dived previously in the game or any other game is also neither here nor there. It was a foul and the lad had to go. Granted it wasn't a penalty but we're not debating that.
the debate is about cheats being punished
young carded and proven to be correct
its not me you need to tell about the red card incident
ridiculous comment
you should balance that by mentioning the same thing about a few of your own
I think you are wrong here, Young's diving antics are an embarrassment, no question about that, but it is NOT the subject matter of the thread. United fans think he is an arse for doing it (unless it is against City or the Dippers).
Last season Palace were awarded 15 penalties, some were for dives, yet your chairman was silent about that.
No issue with him complaining about diving being a cancer in the game, but if that is the case, people in glass houses etc....
If he wants the publicity, and let's be honest, he loves it, then he has to expect some stick if he is seen to be applying double standards.
So Winifred didn't get any bookings for simulation last season?

And he got booked for it which is what the law states should have happened.
I don't necessarily disagree with Parish. It's just a bit rich coming from him after you pretty much had a penalty every other game last season. Most of which I expect were won by cheating.
think he probably did I replied to a poster who suggested that Zaha dived in every game-or are you as anti palace as to suggest the same
He suggested that zaha would have spent much of last season suspended if the rule was that punishment equates to suspensions.
A quick look on google and hey presto

Did parish or holloway complain about diving in this instance?

From a fan of a club that was renowned for having two serial divers last season I find that quite amusing, bet you weren't moaning last season when you were benefitting from divers.
Why don't you feck off back to your own site you hypocrite. Of course I'm anti Palace and you are clearly anti Brighton but I won't waste my time moaning and being aggressive on your Nazi site.

the topic is about changing the punishment so why are you stating current punishments ?
if you think that about the penalties we had then theres no point in trying to discuss anything with you-the thread starter has obviously achieved his goal of turning something that sickens every football fan into an anti palace thread so fill your boots
ps are there any threads on here where people arent still hurting about the play offs?
