Personally, I think its a good direction to take by Uefa. Cos it
is getting out of hand now and if nothing was done about it, it
could just get worse...
I still remember those matches where Chelsea and Barce were
outdoing each other in the dive and stimulation department when
they were meeting each other those 2, 3 years... Touch a bit and
they will start going down holding their legs in great pain or
didn't even touch them and they would go down covering their face
as though they got hit there... Yellow and Red cards were the order
of the day then...
Actually, these last few years it has become more obvious...
Since the Mourinho's Porto doing it well and winning, it has
got more and more frequent... Arsenal and Eduardo are
unfortunate that they became the first to be made an example... But
we can argue that it has to start somewhere and the fact is
Eduardo did dived... I honestly don't belief Arsenal will appeal as
they are at the losing end of it... The earlier it is
forgotten the better for them, if they prolong the
problem, it will only bring more negative news on
them... But they like to threaten hoping that Uefa will not
dare to go ahead with the punishment...
At the end of the day, we just have to say Arsenal and Eduardo
was at the wrong place and at the wrong time only... I think Uefa
wants to put down a marker early and gunners were playing in the
first matches, so... just their luck.
But I think after this, players will think twice before taking a
dive or even going down easy...
