Ross Barkley - comedy genius?

[BehindEnemyLines]

I didn't dive, scousers don't dive.......... Apart from his own attempts, has he forgotten the Stevie starfish and the Owen flounder? Surely this must be tongue in cheek our an Xmas bet?

He was lucky not to be booked minutes earlier in the man City game for an equally poor dive. Typical scouser, its never their fault is it?

What a D**k

Bale may well have dived (as did Ginola), but then he never claimed that Welshmen don't dive!

Is there any part of the country more delusional than Liverpool.. they also have to remind us of their 'famous' sense of humour (see Dr Mr Hicks video for proof to the contrary)

Just watched that video. I'm now on my hands and knees picking up the pieces of my jaw that dropped from a great height.

No excuse for the **** to do that but he didn't roll around like a little fucking bitch. Instead, he got straight up. Was this a change of mind dive? Player dives and then thinks "ah shit, shouldn't have done that, so I'll get straight back up. Or it could be something else, like he's happy that he dived but wanted to chase down the ball in case the ref didn't blow. And I'm also thinking it would be a dirty diving tactic, to dive and then try to convince the ref that you didn't dive by showing your intent to get up and play on. I can't say I've ever seen it before. Most of the time, it's embarrassing roll around tactics.
Alan Shearer I think on MOTD made a big deal of him getting straight back up and seemed to think that made it more embarrassing than most dives which I can't understand, it was as if to say that all genuine fouls result in the player getting injured and the player staying down and the fact that Ross got got up means it was a dive. It was a dive no matter what, you could tell by the acre of space between him and Nolan; a freight train could've passed through that.
