The issue with diving for me is that players who do everything they can NOT to go down, never get rewarded.

Who are these players and how could they be awarded? In my view, there should be no award for that, it's what should happen anyway. Divers should be heavily punished instead.

Divers should be heavily punished instead. It happens all the time. Though this is one that always stands out for me (the run at the start of the video). No diving - no reward He could easily have gone down numerous times. The last guy to try and tackle him makes a wreckless attempt to foul him and had he gone down, it would've likely been a penalty. Instead he stays up and tries to make a last effort on the ball. To me it's still a foul really, just because you try hard to stay on your feet you shouldn't not get anything, there's no advantage. |

The ref shouldn't have to have seen it for a punishment to be levied. |

At the risk of being criticised, sometimes when the word 'loyalty' is thrown around it makes me laugh. Ryan Giggs has earned a fortune playing for United, winning everything multiple times in the proccess - is that necessarily loyalty?
Totti and Gerrard of those are the most loyal given their teams fortunes, but even then they won a lot. People like Matt Le Tissier who didn't earn a tonne and played for a team who won nothing, for his entire career despite interest from much bigger clubs are better fitting for the word. /rant. |
