Diving In Football

[grumpy01]

I see where Stoke City have made an official complaint to the BBC about John Hartson.His offence? to tell the truth about Victor Moses dive to "win" a penalty in their game with Swansea on Sunday when he was the match summariser.

The truth hurts!

[ChillDoubt]

Hartson is paid to give his opinion. I would hope that whoever took the complaint at the BBC told Stoke City to f*** 0ff in as polite a manner as possible.

[Referee-Observer]

Players do not dive, they comitt an act of simulation and in accordance with the LOAF (Laws of Association Football)must be cautioned for unsporting behaviour.

[ChillDoubt]

They also ought to be censured by their clubs and practically publicly shamed by the authorities, but given the low-standing and perpetual inaction of the FA, UEFA and FIFA there is little chance of that happening anytime soon.
When you've got a fraud like Blatter at the helm it's never going to be addressed.
