Ronaldo and Rooney dont do a series of commercials about how ridiculous diving is and how they never dive and then dive a lot, no.

Henry doesn't dive a lot

Certainly, Henry is a lot less annoying than Ronaldo - in general.
But he is hypocritical, creating this image of the 'clean footballer' on the one hand, and then goes on to blatantly dive.

Not a LOT, but he does it.

TSC,

[/ QUOTE ]soooo.....that means they can dive????

And for whats its worth, Rooney actually said that he thought that all the foreign players in the EPL seem to think diving is ok, and he largely blamed them for it.

I agree with Ticks, yeah there are divers everywhere. There are three on Arsenal that I can think of, Eboue, Henry, and RVP. RVP is probably the worst, then Eboue, and then Henry. However, neither of these players are on the same level as Ronaldo. No one is really.

[/ QUOTE ]There is certainly contact, but Hesky basically crumbles. I think he doesn't get the call because of how easy he falls, and the announcers thought so as well.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah that was pathetic. When I saw it happen, I thought, foul. Then in the first replay, I thought maybe someone tripped him, in the final replay I thought maybe he tripped on the field. None of that happened, he just fell. [censored] frenchies [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

also, the way he reacted to the equalizer was pretty classless.
note that I have huge respect for Henry, but stuff like that rubs me the wrong way.

[ThaSaltCracka]

it was the winning goal. His response didn't bother me. It was classless, but it was just frustration getting the better of him. Teams all year have come into the Emirates and waste time whenever they either get a lead, or its tied. If this match had happened 2 months ago, I don't think Henry would have reacted that way. But I suppose there is only so much he can take. When you throw in the fact that he had a poor game, it makes sense. Kirkland should have been carded for his time wasting though. Spineless little bitch.

no, it means that comparing henry diving to rooney and ronaldo diving is like comparing apples and oranges. since the original complaint was that henry dives while being on this worldwide anti diving campaign and calling barcelona a team of women after last years CL final, during which arsenal scored one goal, which they scored as the result of one of the most ridiculous and blatent dives ive ever seen. rooney and ronaldo arent comparable because theyve done none of these things.
