Really?

Yes, but I reckon it'll be years before a referee gives anyone a second yellow for diving - I don't think they've got the balls.

Do you mean two yellows for separate incidents? Booking a player for the second time when the second offence was diving has happened, Moses was sent off for Chelsea in last year's cup final. http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/moses-sent-off-diving-fa-cup-final-chelsea-arsenal/beki37sywlga1hz57p0n62re3

Yes mate, I've seen that photo before but I didn't know where it came from.

Not two yellows for diving. First was for a foul. Wonder if the ref forgot he'd booked him already? - wouldn't surprise me!

 

[Bodian]

Wouldn't it be great if Zaha became the first to be sent off for two dives?

He does that look every time he thinks he's been fouled and every time he's booked. Should think about a career on the stage.

The frustrating thing is the number of dives he gets away with. He’s by far the biggest cheat in this country so it’s fitting he plays for that lot.

They said earlier on Sky Sports that it was over the last three seasons. Fabulous record: Both Zaha and Palace must be really proud.

Yeah, he doesn't dive though.

Having watched MOTD the cheating Record Holder is lucky he wasn't red carded for the filthy challenge on Watford's goalkeeper. Studs up, straight legged. The slime ball was out to injure. Let's hope they lose him for 3 games.

Yeah, he doesn't dive though.

To be fair he is the 'Best Player Outside of the Top Six' and 'Just too good' for every team except Palace. Little old Brighton will never unearth such a gem (apparently)

When you get a reputation for diving, as he has earned himself, the ref will get it wrong. He'll have more doubt when you go down and you won't get all the fouls you should. And every once in a while, you'll also get booked wrongly. Tough luck. Stop diving, and eventually, when the refs realise you've cleaned up your act, you'll start getting more of the fouls you should, won't get wrongly booked as often.

Unfortunately, until that happens (yeah, like it'll happen any time soon) it will give Palace fans and Zaha something to hang their hats on. Today's booking "He didn't deserve it! The ref got it wrong, look at the replays! He's not a diver" and they will continue to ignore the ones that are actual dives, or "what about izquierdo that time" "murray does it too! (he used to do it for us!)" and so on.

Exactly what they were like on Twitter [emoji849]

The man really is a caricature of a person isn't he. He can't possibly be for real?

There's a quote compo in here somewhere.

Oh dear, how sad, never mind.

Lovely boy, lovely boy?

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

I understand the desperation to win leading to fouls, dives and general bellendery but Palace.

Oh dear. What a mess they are.
