Bale's diving

[King of Otters]

And lets be honest, when he scored the pile driver, Adams looked to be going in with the elbow pretty feircly.

Just seen Adams bird on Twitter. Fucks sake, I hate him even more now. He's got a head like a fucking potato! By rights he should stacking shelves in Aldi and wanking into an old sports sock three times a night.

Look I know that Bale has a reputation for diving but the penalty for Wales honestly isn't a dive.

When you're traveling at full speed which Gareth Bale did there, any contact will knock you off balance. The defender ran across the back of him and subsequently knocked his leg onto his left, he didn't trip himself on purpose.

He hasn't done himself any favours with that dive against villa or the incidents where he's gone down too easily that have preceded them but let's not start thinking that every time he goes down is a dive because that blatantly wasn't.

Just went and looked for her - to quote Borat, "wah-wah-wee-wah!"
And most of these girls have the cheek to suggest it's not about the money...

He looks like he chews rocks as well.

I've only seen a gif of the incident, but on the basis of it I agree entirely. His right leg was clipped and caused him to trip over.

Never a dive.

Call off the Manhunt Maloney has admitted that his leg touched Bale's

That's fine if you genuinely believe that, but I'm prepared to bet that you've had a pop at players cheating from other teams in the past so that's somewhat hypocritical.

I do believe this and I have slagged off other teams players for diving. But I'll slag off other teams players for any reason because that's what most supporters do. For instance if I supported Real Madrid I'd slag off Messi for having no right foot.

Football is a non contact sport.

Indeed. I didn't bother to reply myself. Staggering really, isn't it?

I thought that was normal

The major concern is that on other forums, he is being mentioned in the same sentence as Suarez, which is on par to being associated with Hitler, Stalin or Sepp Blatter.

It was for me right up until my late 20's. It wasn't 'til then that I finally got my first job and was able to 'splash out' on a fresh box of man size tissues each week. I haven't looked back since.

That is a great shame, but he is the architect of his own misfortune in this instance. He needs to stay on his feet wherever possible and his reputation will hopefully improve.

(Hitler and Stalin I get, but the association with Sepp Blatter is a bit harsh.)

Does not matter what he does, people will still find some sort of negative slant against him to use it as a stick to beat him with, the reason being that British football fans do not like or respect Gareth Bale.

Whether it's down to the fact that for a brief period he was over-rated to the extreme after he took Maicon to the cleaners, didn't help that Sky Sports and other journos were putting him up there with Messi and Ronaldo calling him world class at every opportunity and you can't forget the PFA award where everybody was questioning the decision and saying he didn't deserve to win the award. It's like when someone is getting deserved praise some idiots attempt to knock the hype on the head by putting him down at every given opportunity.

Personally I think a lot if it comes down to jealousy which I think shows that we are dealing with people with weak mindsets and pathetic agendas against him. Forget the diving for a second, we're talking about one of the brightest young talents who is more than fulfilling his early promise that can reach genuine world class standard to come out the British Isles yet nuckleheads are more than happy to try and put him down at every opportunity.

The Vitriol he's received for the incident on Friday has been completely uncessary and OTT and this is EVEN AFTER Maloney had said he hadn't dived yet really how many people have mentioned that he put on a truly world class performance and stood head and shoulders above anyone else?

Even some of our own fans are at it, some label him as arrogant and a Ronaldo wanabee (as if that's meant to be a bad thing) but we are dealing with an extremely confident young man who knows how good he is which I think is refreshing better than having some little unconfident shit bag with a weak character who loves to run into blind alleys anyway...

But my point is that it seems like people do not like Bale for some reason or another so whether he stamps out diving or not they will still find something for a reason to dislike him.

I agree about Bale being the architect. But Blatter is the Sith Lord of Football.

Having just read the full interview with the player who fouled Bale, where he says he DID clip him, and that it WAS NOT a dive, and where he apologises to his own team mates for the foul, where does that leave the people who have so vehemently accused Bale of diving? Clearly these people have it very wrong. Are they going to question themselves and ask themselves how they could have got it so wrong? Are they going to think twice before making similar accusations in the future, or are they simply going to continue to worship at the altar of their own ignorance for ever more?

May I direct you attention to this thread on Redcafe, in which the statement is made that:

Thank fuck someone has seen sense. Bale has went out of his way to "find" contact. I personally don't think there was any, regardless of what Maloney says, but even if there was the slightest clip, it was Bale's fault and therefore cheating.

There wasn't contact, even though the defender said there was, and even if there was contact (which there wasn't) it's Bale's fault. Got that?

So in answer to your question, the latter.

The problem is that having dived in the past, Bale will always carry the "diver" tag. That invariably will lead to fans/layers/commentators always questioning if he was touched when he gets penalties and you have to say, understandably so.

I don't see a problem with people questioning if he has been touched, what does bother me however, is when people refuse to accept that he has been, and start saying "oh, he was looking for it, so shouldn't have been given it". If he is fouled give him the pen, if he dives book him, that's all we can ask for really.

 

[lol]

i think the media and others have already start to label him as a diver. its gonna take hell lot of effort to shake that name away from now..
