Let's embrace diving.
Let's do down like Ellen Degeneres at the mere thought of a foul.
Every other country/European/ Asian/and South American club team does it.It's part of the game now albeit a dirty cheating immoral part of the game.
How many more times will our naivety as a nation be exploited.
Players such as McGeady,Bigfoot and,Maloney should be lauded for their driving prowess not shamed.
4-4-2, 4-1-4-1, 5-3-2 , 3-5-2 these archaic formations have gotten us nowhere in the past.
9.9-----9.9-----9.9---- Goal!!!!! it's the future.

Well, Berra tried it but was rubbish at it and got booked. Shows the lack of training he had in the art of diving.

Sure it's not Lee Miller?
The best diver I've ever seen is Craig Conway. He was so good at it for us that you never knew he was diving. He'd always make sure there was contact and fall down in a completely natural way - it was just like a normal foul except he made it happen. Why's he not been called up?

nothing wrong with a good dive as long as it's no against you

Drunken Hobo,
Aye it takes an expert eye to spot a Pro Like Conway. Refs have no chance, where are his caps?

Conway suffered 86 "fouls" in 35 league appearances during the season we finished 3rd. Our next most fouled player was only fouled 48 times.
No-one will ever beat Lee Miller though. Won a truely astonishing 129 free-kicks back in 07/08 - 4 times higher than anyone else in the Aberdeen team! Next season he only managed a paltry 126 free-kicks. Thing is, he wasn't even a good diver, he just fell over any time the ball went near him, and referees fell for it.
Not that I'd suggest Miller get another cap!

Maradonna aswell, he made it seem as if he was getting halfed in two all the time. Hes a sleakit character him.
Same with that Messi, he has diving to an artform. The fact i call it diving doesnt do it justice.
