Should Damien Duff have been booked for his dive in the penalty box on saturday?

Question

Newcastle v Charlton.
It was a blatant dive.Ref obviously thought so as he didn't give a pen.

To be clear.Duff wasn't booked.

Although Duff APPEARS to trip over his own feet,anybody who has watched football for any length of time knows that this is how strikers try to make the dive convincing and trick the ref.

Answer 1

Duff is another overated Chlesea cast off, he should have been booked.
Fifa has to start reviewing video and handing out suspensions for divers.

Answer 2

I totally agree with the ref on that one. I only wish all refs were that consistent. If a player dives, he should be booked for bringing the game into disrepute. If all refs followed suit, we'd see the likes of chelsea going down to 9 or 10 men! More bookings to clamp down on cheats please. It will cut down on those foreign players and chelsea from ruining the game

Answer 3

it wasnt a foul, but he didnt dive if you actually watch it he trips up on his own feet so i cant see how thats diving

ref was right with not giving a foul or a booking.

so how you can call it a blatant dive you need your eyes testing.

oh and it was outside the box aswel so your question is total w*nk

Answer 4

Yes he should have been booked he's a cheat and a Chelsea cast off, that's what they are learnt at Chelsea

Answer 5

well if he had been bookd dere wud b mor arguments if anotha player divd n he wasn't bookd
so i would say fair play 2 the ref, at least he didnt give the pen

Answer 6

duff has been booked? oh on.he never got a card in my team.my dear duff.why he left us?

Answer 7

No,......... its the only useful thing I have seen him do in the last three seasons!
