nani young and bale are all worse and still play in the league. the media love them though so its ok.
I said possibly. Whether its quantifiable or not who knows. There's probably players over the years who have dived more than him, but to me no one has ever writhed around, play acted or called for the yellow card as much as he does.
the media built that reputation not saurez, he has very rarely gone down with no contact, which is what a diveis.
Young especially and some times nani, have gone down without contact far more times than any other player in the league, except perhaps Bale. but they are not roundly abused becuase of it.
Just lol. The bias on this thread is just ridiculous. Why do Liverpool fans always have to feel like victims? Suarez is a good player, no denying that, but surely you have to agree that he dives constantly and is just not a nice person

This is nonsense, on two points. One Suarez goes down under no contact frequently, since his ajax days.
Two, Young and Nani were roundly abused for it, especially Nani. Or have liverpool fans forgot how they chastised Nani for diving, despite the fact his leg was gashed open. The press frequently rebuked nani, and did the same to Young recently.
Also diving under contact, is still diving. If said contact doesnt trip or impede you, and you throw yourself to the ground, thats still simulation/diving.
i answered the same comment on my last post. his two bookings for diving were both fouls, even his stupid belly flop thing at the weekend followed a slight foul.
if anyone shows me all these times he has gone down with no contact, i will quickly change my opinion.
That was not a foul on him in any way. The one on by evans was not a foul. contact does not equal a foul, by any means. Jake has given one example in 30 seconds earlier on the thread.
even that one jake put up contact was made, on his thigh, it might not of been much and he shouldnt of gone down, but contact was made.
he exagerates fouls, and his quick feet can draw contact from the other palyers like the one against evans. it would of been a harsh penalty, some times players get them other times not, but it still was not a dive with no contact.

Am I misunderstanding this post? If incidents like the one against Stoke ever start being deemed fouls I will give up watching football.

but he is not as bad as the press make him out to be. and he should be getting more penalties than he is getting.

-_- ... of course there is bias on a LIVERPOOL thread where LIVERPOOL FANS talk about LIVERPOOL. The same way there is bias on the United thread and Chelsea thread and all other club threads where fans talk about their team.

Except you don't see anyone on the United thread defending Young or Nani when they dive. The issue here isn't necessarily WHETHER you're being biased, it is to what extent, and in this thread the bias is pretty major.
