pete 2,499 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Sorry i don't buy the restless leg syndrome, theory and you can think of all the technical names to hide the fact that he dived, but for me i will be an armchair fan and say that it was a blatant dive(A very poor one at that). I don't give a damn that he done it as these things even each other out eventually but i will judge it without blue tinted glasses on. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 How about gamesmanship instead of a dive? Every player in the same situation would do the same IMO.......i still dont think it was a dive tho, he made the most of the situation 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Agree with Jonc and also disagree that it's ok to dive. If he did dive then I hope he gets told to cut it out. People may call it part of the game, but I'd rather we were the people who didn't do it. I don't think I'm wearing blue tinted specs as I think I'd say the same about the same incident for another team - but maybe wouldn't spend so much time defending the player. I really think a "dive" is a totally different kettle of fish to that incident. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 One last thing, no one has mentioned the poofy hand waving from Samaras. Surely that was worth a red card on it's own, 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I just watched the match again, the hand waving was just as hilarious watching it the 3rd time round. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Samaras looked like he was doing an "Al Jolson" - for anyone who knows who Al Jolson is..... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
