Dislike diving in all sports. It's a conning of officials who have a tough enough job as it is. Yes it's very much prevalent in soccer & has been for some time. But it is in many sports, including footy (which I love dearly) so just don't bash it with the same stick. That is all.
@DanielGarb
3 incidents in a 6 year period which would be below average for a single soccer match? Garby you are a notorious ripper but off the mark here legend.
@DanielGarb
No doubt you’ve seen this already Garby. But this is what everyone gets frustrated by. Rolls around like he’s been shot to make sure he gets the free kick. Nothing wrong with him. Direct goal from this
@DanielGarb
main difference is there is a push to stamp it out in Aussie rules. Fines, suspensions, free kicks etc
In soccer it’s almost encouraged. Managers telling players to go down, stay down etc. players ability to dive well makes them great players. Don’t think you can compare
