Fabregas really needs to be starting Barca's games either for Torres or for Basquets while Alonso moves to a defensive playmaker role.

Do tell? or Explain what you are on about?
big fan of cesc's beard (if he goes to barca it looks shit).
lol accident
Wow... 10 minutes of the most boring football I've ever seen.
Why didn't those stupid SBS Cameramen show the crowd more? Or at least a bird picking at the ground?
Spain and Chille go through.
Who do Chille play? Backing them in nonetheless.
Brazil

Stopped reading there. EVERY team does it. EVERY team has players that dive and cheat and fall down when they feel any contact. Until you decide to be objective about this, don't bother starting the topic.

apollo_creed; said:Other clubs have 2 or 3 who might surround the ref Barca have the most in the team - diving - most playto get others sent off, theatrics...
So first you said NO other club anywhere dives or tries to get players sent off except for Barcelona, then you changed your mind and said some clubs do it but they only have 2 or 3 players that do it. Which is it?
Bit of a contradiction there. Why aren't you deriding Liverpool after all Torres does play for liverpool.
But hey don't let the facts get in the way of a good rant.
I was saying not all players throw themselves to the ground holding body parts, grimacing in immaginary pain. Barca have several players who do that. Infact their whole midfield is like that. And it's all to get other pro's sent off. And I made the point that while existent at other clubs the extent and severity is non comparable to Barca.So first you said NO other club anywhere dives or tries to get players sent off except for Barcelona, then you changed your mind and said some clubs do it but they only have 2 or 3 players that do it.

I gave examples of incidents you don't see at other clubs.
And Barca has more. Other clubs have 2 or 3 who might surround the ref Barca have the whole team - diving - most players, trying to get others sent off, theatrics - all the crap in abundance at your club. Messi is one of the few who can hold his head up high - the amount of times he bounces off fouls and continues on is to be praised and there is no theatrical rolling or carry on. He might complain on a hard unncessary, or unpunished tackle but no blatant cheating. And you would see this. Compare and contrast.
You're the biased one. Anything involving Barca, or Spain - you can't be objective. You support Barca so you're unlikely to admit the truth but others see it - don't you remember Busquets getting the Inter player sent off for virtually nothing? Sorry mate. I watch a lot of football and that was the only incident of its kind I saw last season. At least by far the worst. I'm sure you defended Busquets at the time with the same rubbish 'everyone does it' no. everyone does not do what Busquets did - only cheats do that. Can you admit he's a cheat? (an obvious truth considering the incident but I bet you can't bring yourself to say that)
I'm not biased because I can't stand Barca because of these incidents. Frequent incidents. It is the source of my dislike. That is the origin of me not liking them. So when these incidents occur it is not a bias forming my appraisals it is just a regeneration of the origin for my dislike.
You are biased because you support them and continually defend the cheating. Why not be honest for once? Even with the Torres thing, you couldn't come out and say - don't like the Spanish players aggressively surrounding the referee - or blatant cheating from Torres, disgusting etc. Instead you qualify everything - even the most obvious of offences - trying to water down the severity of the cheating - and that is bias. Honesty wouldn't hurt from time to time. Because the Busquets and Torres incidents are inexplicable and can't be defended with any arguments or qualifications.
And the old 'every team does it' line does not apply. There's been two Torres incidents at the WC. There's a few teams who's players like to fall theatrically and make the most out of contact but it's not every team and those who do it disgust me. Not the sort of shit you get from the Germans or English - they don't make the most out of physical contact holding their face on slight touches or rolling around on the ground convulsing for no apparent reason. (there's other non offenders as well)
No a lot of players might feel an arm or an elbow and carry on because the contact is minor and not enough to knock them to the ground holding their face. While other players feel the contact, however minor and their first instinct is to fall, clutch their face, roll on the ground and try and get their opponent sent off. I hate that stuff. And I have every right to. I believe in fair play.
Disgusting night of football tonight. Hate seeing this shit.
Anyway mate - another argument between our goodselves no# 138. Bed time mate.![]()
Pretty clear AC meant to the extent that Barca/Spain do.
Personally can't remeber torres diving too often in the EPL.
Now that's just an outright lie. Torres has been diving since he was a wee little kid in Atletico.
