BALOTELLI-STUDS-UP.gif


This WASN'T one of his yellows yesterday. I hate Balotelli more and more everyday.

Is that really a Barca fan pointing out Diving antics? I guess they'd be the best at recognizing it... ;)

We never do anything as bad as that video. They are 100% faking fouls, we normally just exaggerate the fouls committed. I know I sound like a raging homer, but we never do what Di Maria, Ronaldo and Ozil did in that single game.

Oh no, of course not.

Quick google for "Barcelona diving", first video result.

Barcelona Hollywood Cheaters F.C.B. presents "We Love Diving" [HD] - YouTube

Clearly, all fouls were just exaggerated...

The diving is bad from RM, yes, but no need to be a blind homer. :)

I've got to admit that when they yanked David Villa up off the pitch, that was one of my favorite football moments ever.

Considering their recent results against Barca, are you pulling for RM to make the champions league finals?

Meh. I don't know. Would be hilarious to come back to win the league and beat them in the final. Bayern would be cool because it is in Munich and my brother is a fan of them. It's going to be a great game either way, if we get there.

It's beyond homerism to claim Barça doesn't dive.

I wish they would do more against divers, card them on a more regular basis. Of course, that would take FIFA getting off their duff and deciding to actually do something about it. It bugs me when people on my own team dive, Arjen Robben specifically.

I don't expect them to clamp down on diving any time soon.

Hell, they can't even discipline Balotelli for being a paid leghunter this weekend because a member of the officiating crew saw the assaults and didn't do anything at the time. Derry's appeal was turned down on Young's offsides dive, and all Wigan got for horrible officiating that costs them 3 points in a relegation fight was an apology.

I don't know if this has changed, but Balotelli is likely to face a nine match ban if the FA imposes retroactive penalties.
