I'm surprised Robbie Savage was mentioned. I'll have to go with Diouf as he has already admitted to diving when it is in his best interest to do so.

If you dive with style or realistically, does that count as a dive in the eyes of the referee and the spectators? Who knows right?
I sense there will be flamings coming up soon. |

In many leagues, diving is considered gamesmanship. It's sad to see this happening in the EPL though because the English game is known to be hard but fair. More and more pansies are coming into the league and fearing injury, choose to dive rather than soldier on like real men. I suppose there is nothing wrong in 'cheating' the referee if you can live with yourself. Nowadays it's rare to hear the commentator go, "you know that if he stays down, it's got to be bad" as too many players not only dive but feign injury.

i kinda agree with the idea to use video replay to assist refree even it might damage the colours of football but i can't stand to see the divers nowadays.

I don't think this is a good post. How do you count the times a player dives? Unless there is some sort of official statistics, otherwise we can only rely on our own calculations (which is probably inaccurate and biased).
Besides, how do you classify diving? Falling down without contact? Falling down over the slightest contact? Falling down because of a purposely trailing leg? |

i think diving here can be assume as trying to get a free kick or penalty and at the same time would damage the opponent when they received a card while they shouldn't.

I enjoy football matches and to be honest, dive spice up a match. Well perhaps video replay help referee made better accurate judgement but it certainly make football become predictable. I remember in early days how minor team manage to hold and upset giants with a little bit of trick.
No offence but I'm speaking from neutral spectator point of view. |

Vote goes to Diouf because he said it himself. |

QUOTE(creap @ Dec 4 2006, 03:44 PM) I vote for C Ronaldo. He is the best diver at the moment .... he didn't need to admit it coz everyone knows about it. For Diouf in admitting the dive - it is a ploy to topple C Ronaldo from the DK title .... Dive King. |
