Wondered if we could compile a list of those players we consider to be the biggest cheats in football .. the diving cheaty divers

Ill start us off with Cristiano Ronaldo  - you all have to pick different ones from the ones that are suggested

and to make it interesting you also have to name the most cheaty diving town player?? I dont think its obvious for us .. but Lukas likes a tumble

Arjen Roben

dont forget you have to name our worst offender too

Michael owen goes down a fair bit

Sofienne zaabouuub for us by a mile

Michael Pook. He throws himself to ground when he is nowhere near a ball or a player. Although I can't decide if he's actually diving or trying to do an impression of ---->  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

He's probably trying to rub his name of the back of his shirt thinking about it

Francis Jeffers used to when he was good
For us i'd say Zaaboub

Andy Johnson

For the diver I'll go for Peacock.

Izale Mcleod   :twisted:

Lee Peacock (stay on your feet)

Leon Knight?

For us in the absence of fallon and Howard I'd vote the 'cock just because of the number of free kicks he 'wins'.

Mr Pires was good at it although dont know if hes still as bad. Sabin used to go down pretty easy in the area.

Michael Owen and for us... Chalky White :mrgreen:

Got us into the Premiership. It was harmless back then  :wink:

If you watch the highlights of the Bodin pen it's funny to see the bold headed Steve Agnew of Leicester direct some choice words towards Chalky  :D

Didier 'drama' Drogba.

Jens 'I should have been a ballerina' Lehman

Pipo Inzaghi, for me by a fucking mile.

I wish all our players could dive like Inzaghi

El Hadji Diouf

There's someone at every club really isn't there....

That Barcelona vs. Chelsea match at the Nou Camp was the ridiculous for diving by both parties - mainly Chelsea.

That incident between Lehmann and Drogba was cringe-worthy too.

I still hate Leon Knight's ability to fall over though

Double Post  :roll:

Oh and Jurgen Klinsmann was the king of the dive.

I remember the tabloid papers publishing a step by step guide to the Klinsmann dive (when he joined Spurs in 94).

So it's the tabloids fault!

shev-i need to dive even against macclesfield-chenko
then again all the chelsea players do
for us its gotta be zabooooooub- but that doesnt matter!

The whole of Franchise squad! :-))(  :-))(

Henry was terrible for it in the World Cup...I think he's realised you don't get away with it in the Premiership so much, but out in Germany he was constantly going down

Bit Extreme.. but Mcleod 100% total twat

Pedro Mendes- partly given his reputation of a well-liked and honest pro, he cheats alot and is fundamentally a cunt.

Old school - Don Goodman

Current - Premiership : Ronaldo      
League 2 : McLoed and the whole Dons team

Current Town player : Roberts.....goes down like he's been shot.

Did any one see Lehmann go down "injured" after Henry scored yesterday? I think he got up once he realised that the ref was going to blow the whistle as soon as he kicked it.

Not a dive but still hilariously pathetic!

I think he did it because Man Utd players were doing it constantly for most of the second half .. he has a good sense of humour for a German!

yeah 100% correct fatters, he was laughing whiel doing it, bit of humour

Yeah this is true - I tolerate him but for this thread I highlighted his blatant cheating tendancies!

when he was here Brian Howard used to go down a lot. Arjen robben in y opinon is one of the worst divers in the prem. Gudjohnson has reputation now in spain for diving.

Along with every other player in Spain surely? They are all at it over there - I can barely stand to watch Spanish football because they cheat so much

To have a reputation for diving in Spain, implies he's not very good at it and they are therefore laughing at him.

Afterall, cheating in second nature to the large euro leagues.

The Chelsea squad.

Leroy Chita turf-kisser extraordinaire, and Leon Shite Shite Shite of course.

Robin Van Persie* likes a ridiculous feigned injury, as does Shay Given the Newcastle goalkeeper.

For us it has to be Ady Williams


*a work colleague of mine just commented that Arsenals top scorer has been "given 3 months rape leave"

I have never noticed that gonna check that out tonight...

Yes, he's fractured his 5th metatarsal (sp?)
