Don't go to Specsavers though, two-bob brickhouse. Private opticians are better.

Re: Gareth Bale
Oh dear kingdawson, what are you doing!? It looks to me from the gif like Maloney's right thigh/knee knocks Bale's right foot.
This has happened to me before, I was clear through on goal and suddenly the ground rushed up to smash me in the face... it was very strange and disorienting but I realised that the guy chasing me had just clipped my foot which made it catch my other leg. It didn't feel like a full tackle but suddenly I was tripping up and fell flat to the floor within 0.3 seconds and I didn't even feel it coming.
It happens all the time when someone is chasing back and clips the striker's heels

Re: Gareth Bale
TBF to Kingdawson, he's held his hands up over it and admitted he was wrong after Maloney admitted it. He's just frustrated of how easily and frequently Bale is going over, like most of us. I hate the fact that he is being compared to Suarez this week, but until he packs it in he always will be.

Re: Gareth Bale
If you see my original post it was directed at the poster that stated "quite obviously hits his own leg, not a dive" as if hitting his own leg confirms it wasn't dive. In none of my posts did i say there was no contact from the opposition player (although i believed there wasn't tbh). It's two seperate points.
My argument is that it has been coached into players to make the contact (no matter how minimal) look as obvious as possible. Even if there is no contact they've been trained and taught that the best way to highlight contact is by tripping over your own foot. Professional footballers have talked about it, there's been documentaries about it, that is fact. So someone saying it's not a dive because he hit his own leg is wrong.
Put it this way if the poster said "it's not a foul because there was contact" i wouldn't have replied to the post.

Which is what redeems him. As I said many a time, a good poster is one that can see they are wrong and says so. Unlike others on the MB

Re: Gareth Bale
I'm the original poster he's referring to.
I'm not going to ridicule you mate, if this is your opinion then so be it. Fair play. But Maloney(the Scottish defender) has admitted there was contact that led to Bale's legs clashing together. He's running at full pace, even the slightest of touches on his back leg will make it alter it's course, and in this case it hit his left leg and Gareth goes flying to the ground. So I stand by what I said, in no way is that a dive. Back when I was playing, diving wasn't even a word yet I think, but I've seen this happen hundreds of times.
With regards to coaches teaching their players to kick their own foot, I'd love to see a link to the documentaries and interviews with players, because that's just plain sad if true.

Re: Gareth Bale
Interesting to see from the highlights that most of Bale's attacking come from the right wing last night, including some top crosses. Clearly he can play on both flanks, through the middle, switch it up (not unlike Ronaldo), despite suggestion from some that a manager who switches him from the left must be losing it... http://www.101greatgoals.com/gvideos/wales-2-scotland-1-goals-highlights/

Re: Gareth Bale
I am both relieved and delighted that not only did Gareth come through this encounter unscathed but that he rubbed Adam's nose in it. I am now sort of looking forward to us playing Stoke..!?
Gareth is by far the best player we have at the club for a long time and we should be celebrating not castigating him. He is still young and he will get even better.

That really is an amazing goal. Was that Adam taking him out mid shot?

Really Protected in the media generally? Took the wind out of Suarez's back-page dive commentaries last weekend, got an espn front page headline about diving, yes indeed, protected...BTW, the other angles of that challenge are pretty interesting viewing...

Re: Gareth Bale
They won't really, neither will the puritans among our support who like to go Old Testament the second there might be a suspected diving incident. There's a fable about that somewhere, a man, his dog, his baby and a dead wolf...
