I screamed "pathetic!" after watching more than one game this season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system of having specific incidents referred to the FA panel clearly is insufficient. I have some sympathy with refs who have to watch more than one thing in fast-moving games and feel they need to err on the side of caution rather than ignore what might be, when reviewed, a foul. Re: @Robbored's suggestion that diving was brought to English football by "highly strung, foreign imports" I have two words Francis Lee. I have two more. Liam Grealish.

Some of these imports are particularly experienced at it and therefore not easy to tell which it is. It’s not just ‘imports’ believe me, it’s a regular occurrence in the Somerset county league now, seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did they learn to do it tho? MotD, Sky and BT football coverage is my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes most certainly, what happens on the tv makes it down to the lower levels very quickly. This is why when we see the top players telling the ref to F off, you see the same thing on a Sunday morning..... but with different consequences for the player. What these players get away with at the top level is scandalous, and puts pressure on officials at the lowest level, simply because players think it’s acceptable.

Many years ago I was running a Sunday boys team and when Klinsman scored for Spurs and dived full length in celebration and the boys did exactly the same when they scored. Same again when Cantona scored and pulled the back of his shirt collar up and posed......what professional footballers do on the pitch absolutely gets copied certainly at youth level.
