Fletch: I’d Never Dive

September 5, 2009 11 Comments

Darren Fletcher has waded in to the diving discussion by claiming he would never dive.

“I’d play honestly every time I play,” said Fletcher. “Sometimes a keeper can obstruct you and you stumble and fall and there is a difference between that and diving. That’s where there is not a clear, defined line about how the referee perceives it. But if he doesn’t touch me, I’m not going down. That’s just the way it is.”

    fletcher is an example of commitment & hard work to all players and i think if he’s made such a bold statement then he also has the balls to stick to it…

    ‘Everyone who watches me play knows I am an honest player,’ Rooney said.

    ‘I have never intentionally tried to dive. In fact, there have been times when I have tried to stay on my feet and get the shot off rather than go down.

    ‘It isn’t fair for players to dive and try to cheat the other team. And it is not just cheating your opponents, you are cheating the fans as well.’

    ya sure.
