Well I only saw the second half and remember the incident vividly. To give him some credit, he was simply off balance at speed and was trying to cushion the inevitable fall using his arms. Not trying to get a penalty in my view.
 
It was right in front of us and I'd have to say if he wasn't looking for anything then why did he look straight at the referee afterwards. I don't like cheating and diving but we have suffered loads doing it against us over the years, from the clever ones like Owen and Saunders etc to other blatant cheating t**ts like tranny.

So actually I'm all for our players getting a bit streetwise and getting what they can. But I have to say Micah needs to go to diving school. He springs in the air and looks so obvious and he has done it several times.

Reminds me of Paul Power who could make any bad foul look like a blatant dive.

What the hell was that? Seems that everyone has forgotten about it. I thought it was disgraceful and I don´t want to see anything like that in a City shirt... I don´t care if other teams do it, it´s not an excuse to do shit like that ourselves.

One thing I've always thought we've resisted from is not having blatent diving cheating bastards in a blue shirt! Hamman dived a lot but he did it in a less obvious, intelegent way!

that Richards dive was embarrassing! been watching too much Kevin Davis!

I know what you are saying mate and I've always been the same, hate cheating.

I don't want anything like Richard's blatant attempts but I sometimes think we have been too honest and don't go down when we could. SWP in his first spell with us could have had loads of pens or free kicks but he always did his best to stay up. Then you'd see the opposition with someone like Owen cleverly falling over someone's leg. I just think if you are going to be at the top you have to make everything work for you. Otherwise you stay 2nd best forever.
 
It was a shocking dive to tell the truth. Referees need to crack down on this type of incident...
