Zakora's dive

[y2dave]

Was at the game and in line with the ref just 5 rows back. My initial reaction was blatant dive but the ref seemed undecided for a second before being influenced by the crowd re-action.

Sol got a fair amount of stick but it was pretty tame stuff.

Cheat

Unbelievable The FA ought to look at that and take action. One match ban at least, otherwise they will never stop people from doing it.

I think anyone found guilty of cheating should certainly be punished in one form or another. I suggest that they not be given any sweets (or money to go up the shop with) for a day or two. If they still persist with it, then threaten to cancel Christmas for them. I bet all this diving malarky would be eradicated almost overnight.

From BBC sport website; Tottenham boss Martin Jol believes his player Didier Zokora "lost his balance" and didn't dive for a penalty during the 2-1 win over Portsmouth.

Yeah that's right he happened to lose his balance in the penalty area and look straight at the ref for the foul. Stop being a coward Jol and admit it.

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Jol has admitted it was a dive; the off-balance thing is Zokora's justification, and Jol has, not unreasonably, chosen to trust his player.

 

[The Large One]

That was a spectacular way to lose your balance.

Zakora was 1 million per-cent innocent.
