He's a strong lad - pretty sure he managed to stay on his feet during Euro 2004 - I actually thought back then that Fergie had sorted out his diving - looks like he's been told that's his job for Utd !

I don't mind older players diving - once you've lost your pace it becomes more important - but the youngsters should be encouraged to play first - cheat later .

Hi FM - How's tricks .
I stand by my comments re messrs BergKamp & Pires. I would be upset if Van Persie or Reyes spent all day diving rather than running past defenders - but the old boys just aint got the puff anymore.
Bit like it's OK for Roy Keane to kick players up in the air nowadays - but then he's always done that .

Tricks are good shame the same can't be said about Utd these days, even queiroz is chucking his toys aroiund now "I don't care what people say about me " boo hoo.
What about Reyes another trainee pilot ........

Poor players have to dive - like old jug-ears jeffers !
Can't decide if Reyes is Poor, erratic or just doesn't like playing with all those nasty gooners .
My original point about Ronaldo is that he is far too good to dive around the place - but if he gets in the habit of diving first / playing later he'll never fulfill his potential - which would be a shame.
Bit Like Ruud when he first came to Uniched - If he kept diving as he did early doors he wouldn't be the great hero he is now
