For me, any player who runs over to a ref and either waves an imaginary card
or asks the ref to card the player should be given an automatic yellow for
ungentlemanly conduct.
If refs want to stop players diving they need to yellow card them more
often. The amount of times I saw a ref wave play on after some (usually
Portuguese) player falls to the ground like a "shot eel" (TM Humphries) and
not give a card was ridiculuous. If the ref thinks there was no foul and the
player goes to ground surely the ref must think he's faking the foul, ergo
yellow card. Isn't this a rule?
On showpony Ronaldo and his multi stepovers. It annoys me just as much as
when Joe Cole does it. The only difference is that Ronaldo at least seems
vaguely two footed. Every time Cole did it you just knew he was going to go
inside on his right foot (when playing on the left). Still I hope Ronaldo
gets to stay at Man U, he's going to have a torrid time from the fans if
he's still playing in Bligty in August.
