It's a bit one sided to pick on Bale - even within the Tottenham team. Lennon has been known to go down easily, Benni as well and despite his size Ade can get brushed off the ball pretty easily too - so why pick on Bale. Because he answered a criticism honestly.
Ginola - the best player of my generation - explained his so-called diving by saying something very similar to Bale. He's still regarded as a Spurs legend.
The modern game is full of cheating. A pull of a shirt, a stand on a toe, a cynical block or a scream at a referee to get a decision. So why is Bale so embarrassing - surely you mean the modern game is embarrassing!!
The treatment Bale faces week in, week out is what is embarrassing and the fact that fewer players haven't been punished for their treatment of a truly fine player is what is embarrassing.
To be honest, the fact this is a front page on SC is embarrassing!
