You can tell by how quickly he gets up, and the smile (rather than protesting at the decision). Happens 3 or 4 times a game. |  |

I believe the technical term is "initiating the contact"! |  |

Yes. Delap made contact with their defender. Not a foul. [Post edited 3 Mar 2025 21:56]

Or 'trailing a leg'. |  |

Unfortunately the contact was after he left the ground and jumped into him |  |

| Delap dives far too often (n/t) on 21:58 - Mar 3 with 4978 views | Chris_ITFC | Love the downvotes, given all the comments state the obvious. It's a striker skill to win fouls, sure... but he's just not very good at it yet! |  |

Because Delap has tried to find it desperately. |  |

He does definitely dive more than I want an ITFC player to do (I don't want any ITFC player diving), but I thought that was more looking for (and getting) the contact than a dive. I can see why it wasn't given though. |  |

defender does nothing wrong. |  | |  |
| Delap dives far too often (n/t) on 22:05 - Mar 3 with 4822 views | stonojnr | if it wins a freekick for us Im totally fine with it, but the ref (this ref especially) was never going to give it because it looked too obviously he was going to go down, so it was just a waste of an attempt, he'll learn. |  | |  |

Fans like you are part of what's killing the game. Embarrassing take. |  |

No, just don't think he dives. He's physical and throws himself about but I don't think he deliberately goes to ground. Thanks for the judgement though. |  |

Not sure £80 mil....but to be fair he is different gravy. Very few players who can just go away from people like Delap does. And his size and power. Frightening potential. |  |

That’s never ever a foul. His decision making really isn’t at the level some think it is at times. |  |
