Title: this annoys me Post by: DMR on Friday, February 17, 2006, 11:23:32 all the media saying players diving "will make kids do the same on the playground"
now i never did nor did any of mates 1. the was no referee anyway 2. the playground was fucking tarmac cunts! Title: this annoys me Post by: fatbury on Friday, February 17, 2006, 11:29:04 I used to dive when I played ... its nothing new!
Basically I often played as a right back and I took the penalties .. so i always used to give myself one run per half into the box ... and then dive so I had a chance to get a penalty Amazing how often the ref fell for it!

'On the playground' does probly not mean literally 'on the playground'.
Title: this annoys me Post by: Tails on Friday, February 17, 2006, 11:34:27 I used to dive when I played at school aswell. Only because I was always taught "if you get caught go down like a sack of potatoes". I wasn't sure how potato sacks went down at all so I just used to fall over.

My point is about the playground itself. If you got tripped on the p.g. you took all the skin of your hands Title: this annoys me Post by: stfc_carver on Friday, February 17, 2006, 11:36:21 Quote from: "dave_m_russell" I know what they mean and of course it does influence young uns.

Title: this annoys me Post by: Cookie on Friday, February 17, 2006, 11:53:42 I remember after Rene Higuita's scorpian kick in '95 when everybody was trying to emulate it in the playground but just ended up looking like a retard with grazed knees and elbows.
Title: this annoys me Post by: DV on Friday, February 17, 2006, 17:14:00 Blah, I never dive because despite the fact I would love to be a Pro Footballer (who wouldnt) I dont want to be 'like' the 'current' pro footballers.
I only go down, if I have been taken out and usually I get up straight away and look for the ball. Maybe its just me, but when I hit the deck or someone kicks me my first thought it always....wheres the ball gone....not act hurt to get a free kick Bunch of girls Title: this annoys me Post by: strooood on Friday, February 17, 2006, 17:27:38 shut up DV you cheat, i did you all hands down and you handballed it.
