Connolly does throw himself to the ground far too easily. I've called him out every time he's done it in the match day threads as it looks embarrassing, he needs to cut it out as it looks like he's cheating every time, he just looks weak and is not doing him self any favours.
Looking to win a penalty/free kick is part of the game, I think we all accept that now and most of the time I don't particularly get angry about it as sometimes it is good, clever play and the attacker has just made the defender make a mistake basically. I also think it reduces the number of potential career ending challenges we used to see as defenders can't risk a stupid challenge which is a good thing.
BUT, Kane is another case. He genuinely and obviously cheats massively, does it all the time, and wins the foul every single time no matter how dodgy it looks, the refs are totally sucked in by him. He fakes getting hurt, like yesterday grabbing the wrong part of his leg and as we've seen with Lallana but also with other players, he endangers the opposition whilst cheating which is totally out of order.
And nothing is ever said, and if it is, it's accompanied with a 'oh, Harry you little scamp!' type reaction. Saint Harry gets away with it every time. He really pisses me off.
