ABOUT THE KEWELL DIVING INCIDENT

Yes and what is a dive exactly, if not another form of foul. After all it is punishable with a free kick and a yellow card just like an intentional hand ball or a vicious tackle.

As to minimal contact causing tumbles, it could happen, like one in a hundred times...

Ever watch a game of Rugby, or NFL? not so easy to get player down if he doesnt want to go down, believe me...

Ok now does everyone think that Kewell is a cheat??!?!
Why isnt everyone calling Lebeouf a cheat after his behavior against kewell?!?!?!!?!?

Time after time he tried to bring down poor harry and even when he was down he had to go and stamp on him. Even the first goal (which Harry magnificently set up) he was brought down..........
So now.......if Lebeouf does all this why ist he a called a cheat?!
Maybe not a cheat but why shouldnt he be banned for a year or whatever else you people said about players that dived be banned for a ridiculously long time!?!?
You say that divin brings down soccer and i agree but surely rough play brings it down more.....Kewell was constantly harassed by Lebeouf the whole game and should have been sent off for his first booking on Kewell....

And Leeds are top!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fouling and cheating are different things. Although i agree with Polish, Leboef the dirty fack didn`t cheat he fouled. Cheating is diving or Hanballing. I don`t think i`ve ever seen Harry Dive before and this shocked me cause he was [and still is] one of my favourite players and i hope he has learned his lesson from the media no to do it again.

Ok Goonerboy i agree with you but when Lebeouf returns to action he wont be booed like Harry was.....I just think that people pay FAR too much attention to diving and not to other issues such as foul play.

Lebeouf's behavior when he was sent off aswell was a disgrace and he should face a hefty ban.

I can't see Leboef sticking around much longer. He will probably get a hefty fine and ban for his actions. Vialli will move Sutton to defense permenently.

Do I know how to call it or what. Vialli announced he was selling Leboef today.

Polishpower, do remember that players in rugby and NFL are trained to take the tackles while running, cause that's how the game is played. A lot of the times it's the unexpectedness of the contact that causes a player to tumble. If you're expecting to be tackled or knocked or whatever you usually prepare yourself and hence take it better ( some do, not all though ). This is something very hard to explain, but if you've ever played football you should know what I'm talking about.
Kewell, the reason I'm not making a big thing bout Lebouf is because there wasn't someone here defending him and trying to justify he's means and trying to prove that more sinister fouls were committed on the same day. Had you not mentioned the Kewell incident I doubt most here would've made a comment on it.
Dirkdiggler, you are hopefully kidding bout the Sutton move, cause he sucks royally in front of goal either side of the team. Maybe a nice run in the reserves should clear his head and get his backside into gear.

No I'm not kidding about Sutton. If you watched the game you'll have noticed Vialli moved him to defense for a decent portion of the game. He has also been doing this for a lot of other games. From what I saw he doesn't make a bad defender.

The Lebeouf problem was abit different. He did not cheat he fouled. I think he should have been sent off for that first challenge if not for the second (that the ref didn't even notice) just before the first goal. Anyway why would Lebeouf make such ugly challenges on Kewell, the answer is probably because he was mad and thought Kewell was a cheat. That is not an excuse though.

PolishPower: Youre right about that, many players do go down abit extremly from a small challenge. But for them it doesn't matter, the only thing they care about is winning the game (I am not reffering to all players, just the ones that dive and cheat alot).

Diving (cheating) has sadly become part of the game, but you really start to wonder what is happening when Kewell (who used to be clean) starts diving. I think people pay more attention to Kewells dive because he used to be a very clean good guy.

Canoe I know exactly what you mean, in American Football the whole point is to not go down at all costs, no such incentive in Soccer. And yes I know from experience as I played some high school soccer.

Also I think some might not realize that even a small kick to your foot does tend to throw you off balance and make a tumble, which is why tripping is a 10 yard penalty in American Football.
