So what do you suggest he does with his legs? Try falling forward at speed and then send me the answer!

You might momentarily fall, but nowhere close to the same way he would on a football pitch.

So you want Bale to be fouled, but ignore that and stay on his feet when it's a clear pen if he goes down? If he continued Gardner would've caught him up
Professional football is about winning. They get paid fortunes to win. You don't jeopardise winning by refusing to go down for a clear pen. Sunday league you're playing for fun

Everton's win over your team has really upset you hasn't it?

Can't have been that clear a pen, he didn't get one.

Think it's like banging your head against a brick wall, even if they are proved wrong they argue that they are right!
Didn't Walcott go down but get up again when he saw his opportunity?
Might be wrong, I've only seen that goal once, but he appeared to go down then get to his feet again.

Perhaps, although I don't think that was his thought process, I think he just got knocked off balance and carried on.
GG, yes he did, but he came out and admitted he was an idiot, didn't he? Bale is always doing it, always has and always will. I'm not condemning Bale alone, but I just don't think he help himself with the incidents he does dive and the way he goes down. He goes down the same whether he's been touched or not - he's always looking for the foul so it's incredibly hard for the referee's to differentiate in a split second.

I'd suggest that if your right leg was hit it would your right leg that went out from under you first. Bale's right leg is hit and somehow this makes his left leg crumble first.
It was a poor decision from Bale, he planned to get touched and go down and as soon as he felt the contact, not enough to be a foul, he went down. He was clearly able to go on, with no disadvantage but chose to dive. The thing is, as with Suarez, referees will start punishing him, even when he is fouled.
I was on the match thread yesterday and many sensible Spurs fans, the one's who could spell and form a readable paragraph, thought Bale dived and called for him to quit it.
Thunderkiss is on the wind up
Ex players including Keown, Allen, Lineker, Yorke, Hansen etc plus ex professional referees saying it was a foul and the ref got it wrong.
However a few keyboard warriors on this message board say it was a dive.
Really hard to know who to believe...

We've seen it at United this season too, Welbeck and Young have both had their reputations precede them for genuine fouls. Hopefully it teaches them a lesson.
Yes yes, anybody who disagrees with you are keyboard warriors and because a couple of people you mentioned, even some you mentioned who DIDN'T say it, liar, said it, doesn't mean it's true, especially considering you'd be slated them for saying he dived, like they have on occasion.

I can't believe your having a pop at Bale after the way you've defended Suarez. All the clips bar one that Felli posted you defended,and most had less contact than the recent Bale dive.
I like the idea that TOOR knows what Bale was thinking

Yes, as I'm sure people who watch Liverpool games have seen, Suarez has really toned down the going down easily.
We recently got our first penalty of the season. Suarez clearly could have stayed on his feet, the difference was, he was put at a major disadvantage as he beat the defender but was unable to go past him as he was pulled back, allowing other defenders to get back. He went down, he could have stayed up, however it was a foul, not because there was contact but because he was put at a disadvantage because of it. People really need to learn the rules.
hello brummie,i hope you're well mate
your spot on,bale didn't dive and it should have been a penalty and defoe did dive and deserved a yellow.
watch out for them toffees today
However I will say that the referee couldn't have been sure and thus reputation came into play, with the referee booking Bale. Perhaps simply waving play on, would have been enough.
TOOR
Maybe you can apply your insight here.. what was Suarez thinking when he did this?
http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/suarezgif.gif
Suarez hasn't helped his cause by going down when there has been no contact whatsoever, same with Young at Utd.
I've yet to see Bale go down without any contact yet. Still goes back to the fact that an injustice of a yellow card cannot be reversed if proven to be incorrect though. Every incident could then be taken on it's own merit!
In every minute players go down when they could stay up. Like when players in their final third win a free kick by collapsing after the slightest touch. Why does nobody mention these? Shouldn't these be bookings?

He dived. He was fouled before but didn't go down. You have a split second to make the decision to go down or not and if you make it late, it's looks ridiculous, as it did there. Clear dive and I believe he was booked for it.
