Have we become a team of divers?

Think we have been guilty of diving players for a couple of seasons now. Vardy dives got us a lot of penalties during the title win. Okazaki literally dives every time he gets the ball  lol

No, you are thinking of Brighton last week, with Izquerdo hurling himself 5 yards forward as soon as N'didi went near him in the box, or a ball winning tackle with no contact on Duffy resulting in him launching himself into 5 rolls on the floor and a theatrical clutching of his shin, which was unhurt, as there was absolutely no contact with him at all.

 

All top flight teams go down easily, and we are nowhere close to being the worst for it.

I can't find a replay. Was it a penalty?

Not from where I was sat and I had a great view as did the linesman to be fair to him.

If the ref didn't see Mahrez' "fall down on purpose" as a foul...why did he not get a yellow?

Will he get a belated one from the league?

And I think if he wasn't such a lazy ass weak player he could've worked that into a chance for us.

No - put simply you have to have succeeded in deceiving the match official (getting a player sent off or winning a penalty) to be charged with this. A yellow card or no action taken at all mean that no charge can be bought. I'm surprised Izquierdo didn't get a charge after last week.

maybe not but the one where Diame punted Vardy in the swingers is a stonewaller

Wish my missus would go down easily!

Okazaki went down very easily. Mahrez was tripped, Vardy was whacked in the crown jewels and how we didn't get a penalty for either was astonishing and typical of an appalling referee.

There is a very big difference in diving and going to ground easily.

 

 

This is very true,i don't think most of them are diving but go down far too easy,we are a lightweight team,Mahrez,Okazaki and now it looks like Diabate is the same,go to ground at every opportunity.Is a deliberate decision to try and get a free kick or are they just weak on the ball?

Absolutely stonewall penalty on Mahrez. MOTD not bothering to show Vardy getting booted in the air off the ball from the earlier corner as well, another stonewall penalty not given. Lots of chat about Maguire not being sent off, but why wasn't Gayle booked for that? Started the whole thing with a ridiculous amount of shirt pulling, and got booked again later. If he'd been rightly booked for the shirt pulling, he'd have been off later. Attwell is awful.

The maguire hand off, what they didnt mention is gayle being half Harry's size. Anyone not that small and he's pushed them away by their chest. 

Felt he seemed to let a lot of their challenges go unpunished, but may just be being bias there as have thought the same in last few weeks
