I haven't voted yet so I'll vote yes now
Cheat is a bit harsh. He was fouled. Sure he shouldn't have rolled around so much, but I'm not going to label him a cheat for it, as he's one of ours.
Look at the bigger picture here. We all know what happened, and our little bit of honesty isn't going to change football - for that we need a FIFA conference and a bomb. What we can do, is either support our players, or not. I support them all, and salute Dave. I wish him a speedy recovery from what could have been a career ending tackle. Vote 'no'.

See that's where I disagree, I don't think we should deny it was wrong just because it was one of our players. If more fans expressed their annoyance at their own players acting like that then perhaps it might make them reconsider it in the future. I still support David and want him to start on Saturday as he's in blinding form and a brilliant footballer, but that doesn't mean he's exempt from criticism when he's acting like a plonker to try and persuade the ref to send someone off.
Exactly.
But we're not denying it. Even though I voted 'no', I've made it clear what I think in my posts. What I am saying, is let's not have a poll on NSC that allows the media to print the headline 'Brighton fans label Lopez a cheat'. We are not going to single handedly stop cheating in the world of football (like I said, that requires FIFA to change) - all we can do is cause problems for our own players, or STFU. I choose the latter.

'Triggaaar' 103 fans think he cheated & 103 he didn't. I don't think it will make 'The Times'
A win is a win. If it finishes 104 vs 103, then that's how the fans feel - that's democracy. It would make the Argos, and is probably already in the daily mail.'Triggaaar' 103 fans think he cheated & 103 he didn't. I don't think it will make 'The Times'

I see your point, but the abuse David got on Twitter and should the Argus print something about it (which I really doubt), then hopefully it would shame/embarrass him enough to not do it again. We're not going to change the world of football no, but at least if we made it clear to our players it wasn't acceptable then we wouldn't be contradicting ourselves if we have a go at another player from another club doing it.
If other clubs do it, I don't see why we shouldn't. If you can't beat 'em, join them. We're not talking about some god awful crime here, we're talking about a bit of play acting. It got Beckham sent off in 98, and if I was an Argie
sick I'd be happy about that. In the end, all that ever matters is the result. The Argies won the WC in 86, and no one cares about the hand of god. If Lopez did that against Palace and got them down to 10, I'd be well happy.

He was fouled. But he shouldn't have rolled around like that afterwards. But who can blame him after seeing Newcastle's Mr Pineapple Head staying on the floor for five minutes every time he was tackled and pretending to limp off. I think the Newcastle player was going to get booked anyway but I shall vote cheat as he shouldn't have rolled around as if he had just stood on a plug with bare feet.
He didn't cheat. There was contact and went over so foul. I've seen worse in the prem and more so from certain players in this division. What made it look worse than what it was, was when he looked up but have seen it many times.
Glad we've joined the club at last, if you can't beat them then join them.

After the rolling around, I should imagine that Millwall will try to sign him in the transfer window.
