vob22 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Just wondering peoples thoughts on whether or not we have a problem with players diving in the juniors, seems to be a lot of action taken in the seniors to try and stamp it out, should we also do this... After his theatrics in the Scottish Junior Cup final at Rugby Park, wasn't really surprised to watch the boy Ross Robertson booked again yesterday for diving, is this something he has learned in the seniors or has his manager deliberately told him to do this?

connolly81 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Seen it creeping in but what I've noticed is there's no tolerance for it at our level and know of managers who do not accept it from there players! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Tommy Coyne at Linlithgow Rose is the best diver in the East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fan of the juniors Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hurlford lad booked on Saturday for diving in the box & even had the cHeek to pretend he was injured lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killiepiyo Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 lol, By this thread I'm guessing some Kilbirnie supporters didn't enjoy that result on saturday lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr V Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Tommy Coyne at Linlithgow Rose is the best diver in the East. Gribben of Bo"Ness is ten times worse. he does dive with no contact which is something I can't recall Coyne doing. I tell you though Coyne is the best penalty kick taker in the East Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pundeavon Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I hope other junior refs see that video, because it was a very smartly executed dive. When I saw it live I thought there had been no contact at all - but there was contact. Kilbirnie centre half (Scott Gair) clearly pulls out of the challenge, but Robertson hangs his right leg miles out to the side to catch Gair's leg and then goes down like a sack of spuds. Full marks to the ref for spotting it, because if he had been conned and given a pen, then Gair would have got a second yellow as well. I was standing beside a group of Hurlford fans, and all of them gave their own player abuse for diving - well done guys. Maybe that's what will stop divers - if their own fans get on their back for it and make it clear they don't want to see it, like the Hurlford lads did on Saturday.

The'FORD Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 It was bordering in the farcical and the ref had no option but To book Rosco for the incident. He's a much better player when he stays on his feet and he has no need to resort to underhand tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyBear Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Tommy Coyne at Linlithgow Rose is the best diver in the East. How many times has Coyne been booked for diving ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmkeenan85 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 sometimes the only way to get a penalty or a foul is to go to ground. I think far too much is made of diving in this country, we most certainly are not the worst. for me, diving is not any more or less cheating than all the grappling that goes on at every single corner and free kick.

steish Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 A lot of what folk call dives is more flinching cos a dirty big centre half is about to boot ye. Then when he doesn't you look like a phanny cos ye shat it and tried to get out the road. Maybe. Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidden Toon Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Seen it creeping in but what I've noticed is there's no tolerance for it at our level and know of managers who do not accept it from there players! Best example I saw of this was when Dave Griffiths managed us. A player went on as sub, dived outrageously looking for a foul and Griffiths immediately subbed him. He'd been on the pitch about five minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Stuart. Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 You say 'diving in the juniors' as if it's another sport to any other football. You get diving in every grade and the juniors is no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
