What is the worst Dive you have ever seen

thorbarry · 27-08-2009 2:26pm #1

OK seems to be the topic of the day. I don't think Eduardo's dive last night was a bad as many others I have seen. Basically what is the worst dive you have seen? I'll get the ball rolling with this one from Morten Gamst Pedersen. Absolutely shameless

(*note he did not get a 3 match ban

)

Vieira against Liverpool. Easily the worst dive i have seen.

fook that was some dive, he was clear through as well, he could have scored

Unearthly · 27-08-2009 2:33pm

Can't find the youtube of it but Sky Sports News have shown it all day, Fletcher was going to tackle a Lithuanian player in the box but then pulled out and the Lithuanian player fell down like he was shot.

mike65 · 27-08-2009 2:33pm

Rivaldos was faking, that no dive!

Pires against Pompey is one that always sticks in the memory.

Incidentally, the Lithuanian guy got a 3 match ban IIRC.

You're forgetting its Gilardino and a champions league match so there was no chance he would score.

I can't find it but it was a dive by Robert Pires, absolutely embarassing stuff.

Another video I Can't find, but Malouda against Liverpool (the game where Torres scored his first goal for Liverpool).

kensutz · 27-08-2009 3:11pm

Andy "Diver" Johnson against Norwich where he nearly broke his neck. I was so livid, I was about to jump the hoarding and deck him one.

keano_afc · 27-08-2009 3:15pm

Another vote for Rooney. It look a long time to get over his cheating that took away our 49 game unbeaten run.

veXual · 27-08-2009 3:23pm

Didn't Didier Zokora produce one of the most blatant dives ever a couple of seasons back can't finda video at the moment...

mink_man · 27-08-2009 3:24pm

worse dive ever! :pac:

stevoslice · 27-08-2009 3:25pm

at work, so can't see what vids have been posted, but the worst dive for me personally was malouda vs liverpool in anfield a few years back, to win a penalty in the 1-1 game with chelsea. never felt as cheated...

oh and ze elias for inter vs utd in the champions league about 10 yrs back also sticks out. didn't win a free iirc, got booked, and was only just after coming on as a sub bout 2 mins beforehand!!!

thorbarry · 27-08-2009 3:49pm

Ronaldo and Drogba.. enough said

I don't know what it is but playing Celtic in the CL seems to bring it out in players.

TonyD79 · 27-08-2009 7:08pm

Porto vs Celtic Uefa cup final: 90 mins of diving by Porto couldnt believe my eyes absolute disgrace!!!! Repeated it in the first leg of the Man utd game the following season aswell

Frisbee · 27-08-2009 8:12pm

Anything by Pires was usually worth a mention.

Or Stevie G's starfish impersonations

The Muppet · 27-08-2009 9:03pm

It's the Pires V portsmouth one for me too, He gort a pen for it which turned the game.

It doesn't appear to be on you tube but i found this while looking for it

Seaneh · 27-08-2009 9:03pm

Steven Gerrard. 2005 Champions league final.

Couldn't be arsed looking for a video.

Never heard anything much about that one after the match but I remember it.

I'm robbing some of these to lob onto the site (see: sig), it could use some f*cking content!

Well the penalty was missed if you remember that fact. And there was contact, I'll admit he went down too easy considering the opportunity he had but justice served.
