RF you can say it, but you DON'T KNOW that he was diving. Just your biased opinion. Which Tottenham player is their biggest diver? Adebayor? Lennon? Bale?........

Most players dive these days Dessie which is my point. It's very sad.

With SpiNDEX theres a market where you can buy the number of times a trainer comes on the field..last night the number was 2.3 Knowing what Drogba (and Busquets) were like, I bought...imagine my horror every time he went down, that he got up without treatment. The guy is a huge attention seeker, and this not having treatment is a very worrying development.

Dessie, im really shocked you are defending Young.
In case you are not aware, Young instigated the contact. It is PREMEDITATED CHEATING. Dress it up how you like, speed , agility, light frame etc. But your comments and those of the PFA Clark Carlisle are an insult to the intelligence of football fans. Grown men, strong and in their prime, DO NOT fall over like that, to suggest otherwise is very insulting. How you can then call RF biased is stunning. |

I don't think its fair to label players divers when there is clear contact and that contact, however minimal, CAN result in the player going down due to momentum. Look at those challenges on Drogba highlighted by Sky.....every one CONTACT, and I think it is very harsh to say he DIVED. Maybe made a meal with his facial expressions, but he did take some stick. And who would want that boot in the bollocks?????

I probably shouldn't be RF. I thought Dessie had changed, clearly not.

By:
Sintonian...... in defending Young I'm also defending Walcott, Lennon, Ramires etc etc all very slight players with speed to burn. And all regularly on the floor through slight contact at speed. Premeditated???? Who the fu ck are you to say that? The Judge? Its just your fecking biaised opinion jumping on the ABU bandwagon. Have there been any "premeditations" on the part of arsenal players I wonder????

Dan your right hes an utter disgrace.hes even physically bigger than everyone which makes it worse.messi is small enough to be his 6 year old niece and gets kicked every game
yet rarely goes down.they say it a mans game.he actually made a show of himself and chelsea and chelsea in one of the biggest games of the year.hes a joke should do a deal with their sponsors for him. |

What's this ABU bollocks Dessie? Is it along the same lines as ABB?

Leaving the thread.
What Ashley Young did twice was bad enough but to have some Man Utd fan defend it is insulting. Clearly, there is a point being missed about who instigated the contact. And us fans wonder why we are stuck in a never ending circle of diving,cheating and feigning injury?? Well look no further than Dessie. Someone who will defend it simply because he supports the club of the villain. And to top it all, calls everyone else biased. Warped sh1t is this football forum. Absolutley mental. |

No Sintonian, the referee is on the pitch to make decisions, not you. Thats a shame really, because foootball would be a real circus if you were refereeing and entertainment value would go through the roof.

Isn't Dessie the forumite who wished injury on Jack Wilshere because he withdrew from the England U21's squad last summer?
Clearly got his wish tenfold. |
|
By:
Maybe my point that Wengers wanton mis management of the lad was correct. Unrested throughout the season at his age playing in the Arsenal engine room. Its a shame, but had Wenger rested him correctly through the season he probably would have been fit to play for the England lads AND start the following season. Oh well, thats my fault

19 Apr 12 08:55 can you please point me in the direction of these posts that Drogba never dives from chelsea fans? i suggest you read the thread titled 'the cheat that is ashley young'. there are numerous post from chelsea fans saying that drogba never dives.also numerous from liverpool fans saying that suarez never dives (despite links to youtube vids proving the opposite). |
|
By:
Dessie - even Red Nev said Ashley Young dived, so that's good enough for me.
|
|
By:
But onto the subject of Drogba, the guy's actions are laughable. He must've gone down at least 10 times last night, in the end even Chelsea fans were laughing and telling him to get up and get on with it.
|
|
By:
Drogba has been at it for years, so has Ashley Young.. I thought Ribbery was the worst of the lot in Tuesdays semi final.
Sickening to watch and why I'm fast falling out of love with the game. It's not just the diving, it's the consistent challenging of the ref's decisions and constant appealing for free kicks etc. Fifa need to clamp down now. If a player appeals or challenges the ref should be an instant yellow card, same for diving... |
|
By:
Ha,
This is a comedy thread. Any chelsea fan trying to equate how drogba carries on with the occassional dive from rooney, bale, gerrard etc needs their head tested. This brick shithouse has been at it for years. You'll find very few utd fans defending young, and you'll also see he won't be at it that blatantly for long. Unlike a certain drogba who has been indulged for approaching a decade. |

The guy is a disgrace to the game of football. Would love to have seen him play in the days when football was football. Norman Hunter,Jackie Charlton Nobby Stiles etc etc would have had him rolling around in agony for real

Correct Roy, I couldn't have put it better myself.
Unfortunately there is an even worse culprit about to re-emerge - Jack Wilshire. |

A DISGRACE to [b]humanity[/b]
Nobody died.FFS where does humanity come into it? The fellow's conduct is an embarrassment, and reprehensible. Did it affect the result last night? Did his acting get anybody sent off? Did his diving win a penalty? Get it in context. |
|
By:
Pretty sure its just a phrase Mr E
|
|
By:
LOL
yes Roy. Emotion got the better of somebody. Hitler, Brady, Pol Pot, Drogba. Good luck  |
|
By:
Classic Drogba. Good to see him back to his old ways, falling down (making me laugh) and scoring goals in 'Drogba time'.
|
|
By:
Ask yourself a question
How will Didhedive Drogba be remembered when he leaves the game here ? In my opinion he could have gone down as one of the greats. Sadly he will go down as a monster of a man who played football like a big girl's blouse. |
|
By:
Its Barcelona ffs, lone striker against Barca's back 4. He took his chance and scored against them, timewasting and frustrating the back 4 was his job, and he did it well. I think Drogs earned his money last night.
|

By:
How funny was it seeing busquets telling drog to get up?! Probably the funniest thing ive ever seen. What a prize ****.
|
|
By:
yes Roy.
Emotion got the better of somebody. Hitler, Brady, Pol Pot, Drogba + Dan Chipowski |
|
By:
Drogba is undoubtedly a diver and so is Ashley Young, and many others in world football.
The refs should know who is likely to hit the deck at the merest touch, and wave play on. If a player continues to dive and the refs ignore it, then the diving player may eventually get the message. |
|
By:
I dont think Drogba dives in the sense of Ashley Cole dives, its just he has the pain threshold of a 5 year old girl. Every time he goes down it looks like its a career threatening injury the faces he pulls. The one where he got "knocked out" is hilarious.

Sorry Ashley Young not Cole

Dessie - even Red Nev said Ashley Young dived, so that's good enough for me. Biscuit even Nev is allowed the occasional gaf.....he made one there imo, but one thing that does show is he isn't biased |
|
By:
Don't like him but against Barca i think he was right to do it. Barca are world class as diving espically Pedro/Basquets so i think Barca where getting a taste of their own medicine. Barca have had the rub of the green with decisions in this competition for a long time.
|

By:
Why is everyone acting so surprised?
You knew Drogba was selected and what he'd get up to when a Lifeguard was announced as the fouth official. |
|
By:
Fight fire with fire,what's wrong with that.Obviously a Barca fan.
|
|
By:
How anyone can compare Didier Drogba to all of those penalty winning divers at Man Utd is fantasy.
|
|
By:
Obviously the use of the word 'humanity' in the OP was misguided, apologies Didi.
 I can see the argument of people saying he's giving Barca some of their own medicine, and that's true. It's not even his diving that's the issue, it's part of the modern game. It's just the feigning injury which annoys me. Great player if he stuck to playing football.  |
