Since I'm a new addition to this inner circle of gaming homosexuality, I'm going to assume you weren't referring to me.

If you were, I'd apologize, but I have no idea what I'd be apologizing for.

Young dives, red card Chelsea.

Torres fouled, red card Chelsea.

Mexican in goal when ball is played behind even the keeper, goal United.

I'll settle down when Clattenberg is relegated to work Sunday league games. Women should not be reffing Premier League games.

I'm mainly kidding about the whole thing, though today was up there with barca 09 as far as corruption/incompetence goes.

I think both Young and Torres dove.

Evans barely touched Torres, and he hit the deck. He could've kept his run going.

I think there was contact, but he could have stayed on his feet... More often than not, they wont give you the call unless you go down...

So, is that a dive? I see both sides of the argument...

Did Torres have to go down? Probably not. But if you are running full speed and there is contact at your legs and you fall down it's not a dive. If they gave yellows every time a guy went down with only a small amount of contact every game would finish about 4 v 4. That is never, ever anything close to a yellow.

Exactly. It's a catch-22. One of the major reasons I completely disagree with suspensions regarding diving.

Torres went down easy, but there was clear contact.

Not enough contact to constitute a foul...player goes down...he, in my opinion, dove. He should get booked for simulation within The Laws of the Game. It just so happened that Torres had already been booked.

This, again, is my opinion of diving. All depends on the referee. If a guy gets grazed shoulder to shoulder and he hits the ground, is that not diving? Contact is made, but it wasn't enough for a foul.

It's the never-ending debate.

It is. And I can promise if that Torres play was Suarez, Young or Bale Randy would have the opposite viewpoint.

Diving is just so subjective.

I was thinking the EXACT same thing. Not so much in reference to just Randy, but most everyone in general.

Yup.

Torres simulated a bit, but that is never a yellow. As Randy said, if that were enforced religiously, matches would finish with 5 players a side.

As much as I hate those guys, no I wouldn't. Would I call them bastards? Yea, probably. Would I say they dove? No. If you are running full speed (or close to it) and any contact is made with your legs you can easily go down. Probably any player not named Leo Messi goes down in that situation and 99% of the time it's a foul and possibly a card on the defender.
