So I am watching Newcastle v Chelsea and I would advise all Newcastle fans to watch the Oscars, a strong contender must be Anthony Gordon who is without doubt an embarrassment to all players never have I seen a man fall over clutching his ankle for no apparent reason more often than him. In the first 10 mins he rolled about for nothing and as Newcastle was about to score he jumped up like a good un. So far he has dived and cheated 11 times all quite obvious on slow motion replays, he really is a disgrace. I know a lot of players do it but bloody hell he is the master of diving. Sorry to say he is English and will no doubt do the same if picked.

Was it Adriano who once did similar level theatrics for us once upon a bad time? Every time I see players like Girdon, this bloke springs to mind, and I can't recall if that was actually his name? Anyone confirm, or correct?
Either way Bri, I totally agree, and they need to find a way to get it out of the game, even if it means a retrospective ban.

I remember him, bit like saiz was a talented player with promise but loved a dive.

Just read mbappe claimed a pen VAR said no contact what happened absolutely nothing no wonder players dive, mind you it was god himself mbappe I will never forgive him for that injury had and he walked back on the pitch and sat down so a sub could get ready cheating bar steward. And yes bright something like you say needs implementing.

Although Harry Kane is one the best goal scorers around, his diving from that classic supposed shunt as he backs himself into the opposition player is one the referees still give him and it’s amazing how he gets away with it so many times.

Worst dive in a leeds shirt I ever saw was Harry kweele against Bradford o think to nick a late equaliser. Was awful sportsman’s ship but did get us a much needed point.

Career divers need to receive months long bans with no pay.
Do that to a few players and watch diving end tomorrow.

Harry had a good dive v Derby in the last moments to get a penalty. quite shameful really.
12 May 2025 10:46:16
Class from Harry vs Direby.

That Sheffield Wednesday dive against us way way back takes some beating.

Gordon Watson, Bri. Remember it well.
12 May 2025 18:03:35
That's it my bloody memory is shite.
{Ed025's Note - the worst part about it Bri is that they actually get taught to dive at academy level mate, i know a few pro,s who have confirmed that..
12 May 2025 20:49:26
That's really bad to hear Ed.
{Ed025's Note - i was astounded when i was told Feath, but more than 1 has told me that mate..
13 May 2025 09:03:48
Leeds definitely don't, or at least didn't, do that, based on my times at TA. I hope that they still don't, at least!
13 May 2025 08:46:28
Yeah I'm aware of that Ed ridiculous ain't it.
{Ed025's Note - it really is mate..
