Honour in football

Who'd have thought it?? Problem is it wouldn't ever be a level playing field due to the amount of money at stake.

You'd never catch Ronaldo or other superstars doing that?

[evilsatan]

That's the problem, theatrics is now a part of the game and if a team were to be honest they would lose competitive advantage. The only way to tackle it is to heavily penalise those who dive so that others won't risk it.

....or make them play on concrete.They won't dive then

[Scal]

Or when they do admit something the ref ignores it and punishes another player.

I was shocked at that, there was such a delay for the pen to be given it was as if he had listened to the line-o so why not listen to him again when he knows he has fucked up. Must have been embarrasing for the ref.
