Every time they had the ball they would dive 5 feet in the air as if shot...they were the better team so why the need for such Shearer/ Owen like behaviour???
did notice it tend to find there's normally 2 players per side that dive like mad such as Coppinger etc nut dint think it was a bad as all that. Shukes likes a theatrical fall every so often
Thought they were like that at Oakwell Prior to that I had thought of them as a "footballing" side but they seemed to just want to foul and dive.
It's what the foreigners have brought to our game, it's a disgrace. They should be named, shamed, and fined/banned.
Coupled with a whistle happy ref and a crap show from us, it just made a dire game, they went down like flies every time they lost the ball or were tackled, it was a joke.
