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.
Bookmarked for future reference

Watch the video. Evans goes right through him with his studs showing, first contacts him on the shin then slides down his leg and gets him on the foot for good measure. That's one of those where the ref could call a foul even if Torres had dove jumping over him trying to avoid an injury. After watching that for the first time since the match it's even more disgusting.

I think it started as a weak troll attempt by the anti-troll. Then henderson showed up and started whining about people doing the thing he is the king of doing.
Now I'm venting over another united screwjob. One which actually may take the cake, which is really saying something.

This about sums it up.
And is anti-troll supposed to be a bad thing?

The worst is that assclown Van Gorder. The Falcons (smh) did well by exiling him to the Plains.

I've made it to the second half in 3 games for UK this year. Kent St. because we were winning, SC because we were leading at half, and UGA because my buddy was in town. I left during the 1st quarter of every other game.

Props for making it that long.

I stayed for the quite impressive military halftime show. Have a few friends who were part of it.

Exactly. It's a catch-22. One of the major reasons I completely disagree with suspensions regarding diving.
How about the ones such as bale and Suarez about two weeks ago? Those arent subjective calls

Well yes. Still don't agree with suspensions, it's quite silly to me.

How can you be against a retroactive suspension for a clear dive? So many games are marred by it, including today's, and it's an embarrassment to the game. Retro suspensions are the only way to eradicate it. Seems like a no brainer to me.

It's the only way to make them actually think about their actions IMO

GGMU!
When Chelsea went to ten, we were going to win no matter what happened after that.
And I'm the best on the board at FIFA
and Hendo this board has always been a semi circle jerk

Because I don't see how trying to trick the ref into giving you a call on offense is fundamentally different than hacking a player on defense in a way that the ref doesn't see the foul.
Furthermore, it isn't too much different than fouling someone on defense and then throwing your hands up in order to say "I didn't touch him."
Getting banned for trying to deceive the ref is just silly to me, especially since it exists in nearly every facet of the game and has existed in one form or another since the dawn of the game's inception. If caught, the player should be appropriately punished with a yellow or red, based on the severity of the incident.
Basically, diving doesn't disgust me as others. It happens both for and against LFC on a weekly basis. Trying to gain an advantage for yourself and team is just part of sport.
