Or is that a bit "wough" on referees?

Re: Diving

Watched a good programme about Celtic's European victory 50 years ago. Inter got a very early goal thanks to a penalty from....a dive. Didn't do 'em any good in the end, but it's amazing to remember just how long that particular form of cheating, as regarded by most British fans, has been practiced in some parts of the world.

problem is they don,t see it as something wrong. its just like we don,t with the full blooded tackle that takes the ball first then the man. called being over aggressive nowadays but would rather see this than some guy with fancy coloured boots on taking the dive in the box or any other part of the pitch. different age and cultures i,m afraid. bring back div.3 north.
