Wouldnt call that a diveOriginally Posted by Joker
When you're running at that speed and someone makes contact with you, you're going to go down. I don't think anyone can really call that a dive, unless they've got their Arsenal tinted specs on.
Doesnt change the fact he is a diver
He's lucky to be alive.
True he doesn't get criticised by the press as much as someone like Suarez (who despite being a twat has been unfairly denied multiple penalties because he's considered a "diver"). And he has definitely dived in the past (against us last season at the Emirates) but this one today wasn't a dive IMO.
Sounds like hes not bothered1455:
More from Tottenham winger Gareth Bale:
"That's the third time now I've been clipped and booked for no reason again. There's nothing I can do, the referees need to look a bit closer. People think I'm diving when there's contact. If there's contact it's a penalty or free kick, there's nothing I can do. If there's contact, what do you want me to do - hit my head on the floor? I have to put my hands down to protect myself. If people kick me, I'm going to go down. It doesn't bother me, people keep saying I'm diving but it doesn't bother me whatsoever. It's a foul and I know it myself."
Norwich 0-1 Citeh, Dzeko!
We're Gareth Bale and we don't complain.
