BBC Website saying there was a Garath Bale "dive" whichg replays are inconclusive about, and ask was it a dive or not?


If that was Suarez, everyone would immediately say it was a dive. Bale IMO has got as much previous as Suarez when it comes to diving, but he'll probably get the benefit of the doubt.


Anyway, on a brighter note, great to see Lucas back for the pool!

The referee stopped play to book Bale for what he interpreted as unsportsmanlike behaviour, a bookable offence.

Play was then restarted with an indirect free kick to Fulham...


If play is stopped to administer a caution or dismissal:

If a foul has occurred as well as misconduct, play is restarted according to the nature of the foul (either an indirect free kick, direct free kick or penalty kick to the opposing team);

If no foul under Law 12 has occurred, play is restarted with an indirect free kick to the opposing team

He has swan dived at least twice that I can think of.


Suarez has dived plenty, so please don't think I'm saying he hasn't. But equally "he travels at speed and likes to cut across players" could also be said of him, and he has been accused on plenty of occasions when I think that some minimal contact has been enough to send him over because he's at full tilt.

    • I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?
    • Always preferred Grace and Favour to the BMC, commented in the past on this and sadly long since gone   
    • If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.
    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
