He most definitely did! There was a push, but he didn't go down 'til a step after it.

Yes, what should have happened, is that he gets pushed and should instantly be shot 14 feet in the air at 84 miles per hour.

Have you every played sport? When running fast, sometimes a little push will knock you off balance. If he would have dived, he would have gone down straight away when he felt it, instead he tried to stay on his feet but his balance was already gone.

The very fact that you admit he didn't go down straight away is proof that he didn't dive

Got to say, that made me laugh! Come on admit it, he's your love child isn't he ;) I'll have another look if they show it.

He did get touched in the face! It hurts a lot, when your nose is frozen!

No, I admit more than anyone that he goes down too easily, he was bad for it in Italy as well.

Balo's diving is bad enough, so I don't need to exaggerate it. Criticise him for his legitimate dives, not the ones where he didn't.

As Collymore said "he chested down the ball and could have hit it on the half volley". You don't become as good as he is by passing up those chances for the sake of a penalty. It isn't in his nature; Balo dives when there is nothing left to do, not when he has an opportunity to score; he's a predator around the goal, he lives for chances like that.

Watch his back foot when running, think it was his left foot that went from under him.

That was embarrassing...and try as he might he isn't good enough and the fact he is still in the squad is astounding...

Fantastic ball into Ade.

 

[Polari]

I wish the posters here would get behind the lad instead of constantly belittling him. He put in another decent shift tonight and is worth his place in the squad.

 

[slicky202]

he worked his cnut off tonight

nice one jo

 

[gmtx]

The dive was atrocious but I think people should cut him a bit of slack, worked really hard for the team tonight and set up quite a few chances (ball into Ade at the end was great). Good squad player, and as we saw v Fulham has an aerial aspect to his game that other forwards we have don't

Played well tonight and clear attempt at a forearm to the chin....
