Calling someone a sanctimonious dick and then quoting sociologists in a football forum.
Fun!
Like a chocoholic but for booze

Yes Players shouldnt dive, and the Media screwed us over but at the end of the day...
 
Players will dive because they CAN!!! When somthing / bigger consequenses are put into action then maybe it will be cut down, I wouldnt go as far as to sterotype it as Brazilian, as Italians and even the Portuguese to dive.
 
I guess itll never be ridden off in the game and the ref's will just have to keep a filter on these and do the best they can.
 
As for TVNZ, Hammer Heads letter outlines the negligence and incompetence of Tv One.

Just have to jump in here and say it is called in society "Jeitinho" ie to jump the line in the bank when you see womeone you know working there and use them to get served faster, etc, but the verb they use in football specifically is "valorizar"

My view on diving is the same as most people , it has become a little excessive but it can also be seen as bonus entertainment. Any more questions feel free to put them on here, I am reading. :)

Botafogo - Rio de Janeiro and Wellington Phoenix, my two teams til death do us part.

can we leave the diving alone (or at least move it to another thread) and focus on the media?

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

Well at least one person got it!
 
Relax everybody, I'm just taking the mick. I just couldn't let a statement like "if you condone diving you're not a true sports fan as far as I'm concerned" slide without comment. One thing leads to another and before you know it you're debating issues of race and ethnicity within a sociological framework. Happens all the time doesn't it?
 
Now the media are a bunch of sanctimonious dicks!

If I may just add one more thing....

As a Warriors fan, if one of our players strips the ball off the opposition when its not a one-on-one tackle, and the ref doesn't penalise us, I don't boo our player for cheating. He broke the rules and got away with it. Yeehaa!
 
Oh, by the way...still no reply from TVNZ.
