Your statement is weird mostly because of the "at least" bit as if it's a good thing. Well the whole sentence is weird but that bit in particular stood out.

yeah its a good thing because if he played there his fans wouldnt criticise him for diving.

How the hell is that good? so it's not ok for other players to dive but you should not criticise your own for doing it? how hypocritical is that.

it would be hypocritical for example if Real fans accepted Ronaldo diving but criticized Dani Alves for doing it, or vice versa with Barca fans accepting their own and criticizing others, but from what ive heard and seen this doesnt seem to happen

It's what happens when the only thing that matters is winning.

Thats it KD keep on criticising GB for what you consider "diving". If the situation was reversed and you were the one playing for Spurs and "diving", and were continually hounded by one section of fans for doing so, just how long would you stick around? Then who would be the loser.

FFS just STOP criticising him before it is too late.

If he leaves, you can be presumably be rightly proud that you and other sanctanmonious and pious psoters who adopted this critical view will have played a part in him leaving. Well done to you all.

Interviewer: ' So Gareth, what made you choose Barcelona, the money, trophies, prestige?

Gareth Bale: ' No I came to Barcelona because the Spurs fans were mean to me and said they didn't like me diving'

I said "played a part".

While I dont doubt that one day our true world class player will leave us for better things, it could well be that his decision to leave is hastened by his lack of support in some quarters among our own fans.

Some wonderplayers stick with the same club all their playing lives. These tend to be players who are fully appreciated by their own fans.

Madrid and Barca WILL fight for his signature this summer, and IMHO it will take a miracle for the deal not to happen.

Trust me mate, it won't be a factor.The bigger factor will be the fact that those clubs have come knocking once before and he pledged to us for reasons of loyalty, development and the fact the family appreciate all Levy has helped do for him.

Sanctamonious claptrap. It is all very well sermonising from the stands that this player or that player shouldnt "dive". We have no idea what it is like to play at this level.

Dont you find it strange that some of the most skilful players in the game are labelled "divers". Henry, Drogba, Messi, Nani, Suarez, Bale, Young, Ronaldo. Look at the common denominator. They are fast skillful players often targetted by thugs like Adam and the like. Is it surprising they have all developed a defensive self preservation mechanism? This is among the most basic human instincts. Funnily enough, I dont see any CBs and goalkeepers on this list.

Where diving becomes cheating is when a player appeals for a foul when he hasnt been fouled. That is plain cheating. It is not the dive or evasive action in itself that is the problem.

Just be grateful we have one of the worlds leading players at WHL and enjoy his skills. Those who are quick to criticise this aspect would be the first to moan if he decided to leave WHL because of the lack of support he receives.

I really don't believe what I'm reading. So you're saying that it's only cheating if a players appeals for a penalty after diving? I'll be sure to log on around 3 ish on Saturday to see the reaction if Oscar, Ivanovic or Hazard dives in our box and wins a penalty in the last minute and denies us a point, or 3.

And you're saying we should condone his diving or we're bad supporters?

If he does leave to go to Barca or Madrid, it will be because he wants to go to one of the best two teams in the world, not because of a lack of support from THFC fans, who have always backed him btw, even when we never won a game in which he played in.
 
Re: Gareth Bale

I think a player can fall over without it being either a foul or cheating. Trying to avoid a tackle can cause that, but he should be careful about getting to theatrical.
