NFR. Theo Walcott admits to diving. Your thoughts.

I understand what people are saying but what is worse walcott admitting it, or Berbatov today saying it was a pen when he and the supporters could see that it was hardly a draught from agger and he went down.

Like wrestling in this country back in the 70s, we knew an awful of what we saw televised was 'put on ' but that there usually was a 'goody or baddy'. Now it is all but dead over here as people prefer to watch the tottaly fake American version.

We know players will try and cheat to gain an advantage. Ref know this. By having people admit to it afterwards does nothing but make the Refs look even more out of touch than they already are. Poor logic is expecting Refs to suddenly know the difference between a dive and a foul if more people admit to cheating. Only when player are punished for simulation will players stop doing it. So best start with a player who admitted trying to cheat even though he didn't fool the Ref.

Mr Beamer, Those were indeed the days.

I remember travelling to Torquay to watch Big Daddy take on Giant Haystacks (about 1979-1980'ish) and enjoyed every minute of it. Fantastic atmosphere. That stuff was not the OTT crap we have today to watch on telly. Kendo Nagasaki was another. Those lads were fun to watch.

Remember Les Kellet? He used to be the one who pretended to be nearly falling over after being hurt and then dodging the other wrestler every time he came near. He was 'Benny Hill' of the ring. I used sit there just laughing my head of. Them were the days.

I find myself admiring Walcott for admitting to a not-too-obvious dive more than Berbatov for saying on ITV that his "tumble" was a penalty.

My mum (recovering from a hip op) would have remained standing after Agger's "challenge".

Pathetic.
