Well I guess when theres not much at stake its alright to cheat

You only have to compare the amount of *injuries* in Sunday league football to Premiership football to realise the amount of diving that goes on.

And before someone posts some s**t about Premiership footballers be more susceptible to injuries you can take rugby union as an example. Rugby players have the s**t kicked out of them and bounce straight back up.

Professional footballers are a complete disgrace.
