Honestly it's just modern footballers being modern footballers. Nothing you don't see in every division, every weekend. Men's or Women's games.

Yep, and I hate it.

But Latin players seem to be another breed when it comes to cheating.

English players have been cheating as much as other nationalities since the advent of professional football.

Yes?

I've grown up and watched more and more British players resort to the sort of stuff that is now unfortunately commonplace. But I always saw more play-acting from Spain/Portugal/Italy/South American teams.

No they haven’t. They’ve tried to - but they’re not as good at it as everyone else.

Ah, no. It’s the dark arts not cheating. Lol. It’s only cheating when others do it.

Mind you, the Italians (men’s team) are probably the finest proponents of the dark arts/cheating. I think there’s some truth to that. I’m old enough to remember when English clubs were way behind when it came to the dark arts. We’ve certainly caught up now, but still can’t match the Italians.

Poll: Do you think Pert is key to all of this?

Certainly all the 70s and 80s British commentators Motson, Davies, Moore etc would agree with you.

But I think it was more down to a different mentality. A British player would not go down unless they were absolutely pole-axed. Foreign players often had more technical skills and they felt that if they beat you they had the right to go down to win the free-kick however minimal the contact.

Eventually as we imported more and more players, the latter attitude became the norm.

Poll: Who do you blame for our failure to progress?

England fans love to recall how Maradona cheated in 86, whilst forgeting the tackles our lads put in on him, including a forearm smash to his head by Terry Fenwick.

Think the phrase is rose tinted glasses.

Poll: This new lockdown poll - what you reckon?
