Me and a bunch of mates played football today and this group asked for a game. There was about 8 of us, a mix of English and Scots and they were a mix of Europeans. It has to be said, for just a mess about game, these clowns were throwing themselves onto the ground, appealing for fouls and handballs etc for the merest touch on them. Not like the kickabouts back home where we play a hard and fair game. It was quite comical really and a shame as they were technically much better than us and gave us the runaround.
I agree with Newell.

Just because Newell was proved right on Panorama he now thinks he's some sort of football messiah. Not doing himself any favours.
We used to play 'foulin football' that would sort em out DV? Bit of no rules except the handball. Foulin football....we used to play a mixed game in the street.....normal football....but if it went on one of our lawns then everything was fair game. I've played football with/against a team of Brazillians (Dex will know them) and every time they get touched they go down like they've been shot and roll around about 6 times...next second they are up trying to fight whoever just 'fouled' them! |

I agree with Newell. I remember at new college in the summer of 04 just after the greeks knocked out the french in the Q/F around 10 of us were playing on the field and some french students who were there for the week studying asked for us for game and we accepted. The same thing hapenend u go for in challenge and you win the ball and they start rolling around on the floor in agony and then there up 10 seconds later challenging for the ball. It is a joke. |

I make pretty atrocious tackles in normal games let alone when I played "Prison Rules Football" at school. In my student union some guy we played against once threatened to "get me" next time we played after a few of my challenges... Needless to say he was 'diving' all over the shop regardless to how bad the tackle was. I ask him why, there are no referee's or linesman... What difference was diving make!  |

I've played footy against some Italians once in Lydiard Park. They tackled much harder than our pansies and didn't dive at all. Made no fuss over fouls.
I think it's a load of tripe. This is happening all over the world, not just European players.

There were no messing, tough but fair. They took a quick 2-0 lead but we fought back and eventually won 3-2. It remains one of the greatest moments of my life  |

Newell blamed his players going soft because of foreigners in the british game! Madness, the bloke is off his rocker. Surely he should be looking closer to home.
Still, i'd like to see divers penalised post match via video evidence.

At greendown we played on the tennis courts, and were allowed to perform Ice Hockey style body checks on opponents agaist the fencing. Brilliant.

That happened at our school a lot, along with the fouling football which happened mostly at primary. I'm not a big guy, I'm not particularly strong, but even when I was about 9 and got twatted in the face by a hand/head/ball I would get up and pretend it didn't hurt! Playing in a school game I went in for a header, cleared it and got a follow through headbutt from a guy on the other team. Could hradly stand up but I would have felt like a tit rolling round on the floor trying to win a free kick I hate cheats of any kind, diving is the most pathetic |

Newells got a point though.
When I was a kid no one dived and rolled around on the floor like fucking pansies.
My 11 year old brother plays football and it's disgusting the amount of kids who dive / roll around / surround the ref. It's fucking ridiculous.
