the :27 mark on the second clip is a classic. Look like the 'keeper is Bad Friedel that come out to challenge him and held up to be about 2 feet away from the man....gerrard stick out he right foot (STILL didn't even make contact) and dive like Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea!
....Now I have been one of the people that have been calling out steven gerrard for his hypocrisy but yuh cyah tell these liverfool fans nutting. It have one jackass liverfool fan in particular on this forum who still bitchin' about a call that Chelsea get against them two fackin seasons ago but call gerrard name in ting and like he turn into a troll. I could only laugh. But that being said, Observer, I eh see nutting wit John Terry in dey!
England's great and Mr. Chelski said recently that 'English players do not dive; they are to honest'. Joe Cole, Rooney, Gerrard, SWP, Carrahger, ect.....to mention a few. He also said that the 'diving culture in the EPL is due to the foreigners. Somebody after reading that he said that about English players wrote ' if the paper published his comments to make him look stupid'!
Thanks Giggsy that is exactly what I was talking about when I mentioned Terry.
OK, but I thought that talk was a few years old, especially the accusations of the whole diving thing being a foreign influence (It seems the British have assimilated well, though, haven't they?.....but wait.....can one "assimilate" in one's own country, though?! lol!)
I think the whole diving culture is sickening and is truly spoiling this sport and making the players look rel bad, the referees inept and incompetent (and even complicit) and the managers are the ultimate hypocrites in all this. Whether is Drogba, gerrard, Lampard, Swan-dive boy, or Torres, (eboue is de damned WORST!) I rel hate to see it but sadly, it
is has fast become the standard and EVERY DAMNED BODY is doing it. Those of us that don't like it, look like we go jes' hadda get used to it!
