iirc Suarez has never been booked for diving. Says it all really.

If you can't beat them, join them. If the referees are making errors and a team can take advantage of that fact, they should do it.
Evra should have been booked today against Cardiff for a minor dive but wasn't. If he had been, and everyone who did similar was booked, it'd be eradicated.
As it is, we should take every advantage. It's a professional sport; diving is a professional advantage. It's no worse than cynically clipping someones heels when a side is breaking at pace and your team is exposed. It's a professional foul, calculated to gain an overall advantage. So be it.

Disagree. Diving (and feigning injury) is a cheating con act which goes against so many moral values. Clipping heels is a snide foul which is almost always spotted and punished anyway. The player takes the punishment as the aim was to stop the player, not getting caught is a rare bonus.
The main aim of diving is to cheat.

What do other Blues think, is he deluded ?

Oh dear...you're a bit ruffled. And very far-off in that weird analogy. I don't bump my own threads every day, if ever.
Which threads are you upset by? The Baines poll one? You don't like the fact that half of us think selling him might be good for the team's future?
Or is there another thread grinding your gears? Maybe quoting a mainstream news article and shooting a poll to get a snaphot of what we think is something that annoys you? Why's that?

People care about Ashley Young's diving and he's English.

A massive amount of you threads are basically "*insert something bad about Everton, factual or pure speculation/garbage* what are your thoughts on this?".
Some of your posts in the threads on your profile also make some very strange reading.
If I was pushed, I would say you are indeed one bad kopite. Sorry.
