I see that people claiming in England that managers nowadays don't have enough time, that goalkeepers/outfield players play longer these days then ever before, that diving is new. But if you reflect on the past with some deeper attention, you'd actually realize that these things aren't actually new.
I was listening to some old interviews from Brian Clough, Don Revie etc. and actually managers didn't have time even then too, chairmen/owners were blamed even then too. How do people forget that Brian Clough was sacked in 44 days and get surprised by acts of Massimo Celino?
Loads of players/goalkeepers used to play until into their very late 30s, Neville Southall played till 40, Bobby Charlton played till 36, then why do commentators like Martin Tyler claim that players play longer these days?
I've seen players like Robbie Savage diving even in the 90s, Owen dived to beat Argentina in WC2002. How many foreigners/South Americans were there in the EPL in those days so that the foreigners could have been blamed for diving? How do people still claim "it's creeping into our game" when it was still there 20 years ago?
Don't you think our perception of present is far fetched and we often overlook how things were in the past?
