Worst divers in the game?

Article shows a picture of Suarez doing his stuff and there's a few of them already maoning in the comments. Good opportunity for a bit of popcorning.

Also, there have been some awful cheats in our game. The Rat from across the park being one!!!

IMO the worst was Pires. He wen't down time and again and conned a lot of refs over a long period. The Yak for us also used to give it a go, though he was rightly booed when he did.

Who's the worst we've seen on our shores?

Tom Daley

Tom Daley

Is that the lad who plays left back for Brechin City?

He's getting a bad name for himself with his antics.

Van Nistelrooy, he could dive like no one I've ever seen.

Jelavic pisses me off tbh.

I like how they haven't updated the texts on all of the links and so a nice proportion of dive-links are called 'click here to see Suarez'

Any of players diving gets on my nerves, used to slate the yak for it. That might be cos he used to dive when it was just as easy to score though.

I wouldn't compare him to Suarez, might be just me and my blue tinted specs, mind.


My stance on this is that while the big man might sometimes look like he goes down easily, I still would hesitate to call him a diving simulator extraordinaire. I can't remember a time when there's not been contact. If you mean that it takes a bit time to him to stand up after that, well, everyone bar Phil Neville does that, really. And going easily down is teached in even in the Everton U-13's so ...

There was a Swiss player called Andre Muff who sadly retired through injury in 2009. I don't know if this was as a result from diving though.

And Jock McTavish's popcorn is in place.

most foreign wingers/forwards give diving a good go when they first arrive on these shores to be honest, it doesn't last long with most of them.

Mr Tarlton also wishes to make his feelings known. However, he must wait for his comments to be moderated.

What did you do Jockson?
