i think if dida gets a fine it sets a precident. it will open the door to other players getting fined and possibly suspensions for diving. maybe that would be a good thing. try and eliminate it from the game. but it does open up a can of worms imo.
diving is one thing. trying to cheat to get the result of a game changed (or the opposing team docked points) is another thing altogether.Quote:

ftr, if he wasnt trying to cheat to get the result changed then he was playacting to try to get a man prosecuted for an assault that he never really commited. that in my mind is far more despicable behaviour, especially from a multi millionaire who should be above that shit.
i doubt it cause they said the same thing when Rivaldo did a similar thing in the world cup. i will never forget that. he got a small fine and diving still goes on.Quote:

Bayern Munich also looking good, luca toni with 2 goals this weekend, the rate his going at the end of the season he should have over 30 goals in the bundesliga.
what we say is they do good considering.Quote:

HOWEVER this could be the way to go. want to stamp out diving? hit players where it hurts. like they give a fuck about a yellow card. but a match fee fine? yep they'll hate that
totti was left off the shortlist for player of the year. that is wack. golden boot winner in europe. top scorer in serie A. his team came in second in the league. he won the italian cup, the italian super cup. and did fairly well in champions league.
im not saying he should win the whole thing, but he is definatly one of the top 30 players in europe.
gotta agree with you, i dnt understand why he didnt get chosen. you listed all the stats, all you really had to do is list golden boot and that should automatically put you on the shortlist.Quote:

probably fair enough.
fair enough? it's bullshit. there won't be ANY european footballer suspended for diving. UEFA bow to pressure again. the most inept sports administration in the world. even worse than new zealand knights
im down with anything that gets dida out of milans net.
im not sure if you've heard of Tony Palumbo (hes very well known) but he is a very harsh critic of dida lol.
hes got a point too...
dnt agree with the ban, a fine would have been more appropiateQuote:

yea kalac....rethinking it, dont really have anywhere to go with that one. just hope they recall abbiati maybe. or maybe if they can squeeze the money out of their tight asses they can buy someone.

he was also trying to cheat the law and make the fan's punishment more severe.
2 match ban is VERY lenient imo.
