He is a great player and probably the best English midfielder for years to come. <BR/><BR/>He has been openly critical of foreign players for diving or simulation but has been involved in questionable incidents himself.<BR/><BR/>Yes, players like Ronaldo and Drogba are guilty of diving and they do get stick when it happens.<BR/><BR/>Regardless of club loyalties English football fans want to see Gerrard play the game the right way.Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07320498760612824610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181211551541729923.post-71078279829328450522008-11-30T14:36:00.000Z2008-11-30T14:36:00.000ZWhat you are referring to is only a single incident and everyone knows that things get heated up during games. <BR/><BR/>All I say is that a lot is being said for nothing. This kind of thing happens more than ususal which is unfortunate but certainly there are other players who have ruined the game with their diving tactics. <BR/><BR/>Why do you want to single out Gerrard? Gerrard had admitted after the game that the he was unsure about the foul and he thought that the refree was a little generous. I have seen incidents when players have been cautioned for diving even when it was a foul inside the penalty area.<BR/><BR/>Talk about Cristiano Ronaldo, Didier Drogba and former Arsenal player like Patrick Viera who had a habit of diving to get the attention of the refree. There's a long list of players who has got this game into disrepute but Gerrard is certainly not one of them.Durgiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06616964522932624470noreply@blogger.com
