[quote=JIMMYB,425107]Which do you hate most on the football pitch, diving or tackling? A British survey of seven to 12-year-olds by Opinion Leader for Texaco revealed that the three things that children most dislike about professional football today are: diving (48 per cent), dangerous tackling (28 per cent) and shouting at the referee (18 per cent). The FIFA has set rules to punish “vicious tackles” to protect the footballers. To cope with diving, anti-diving shin pads have been developed by some British technicians. How does it work? “The pads have innovative sensor technology that detect physical contact with players, enabling referees to decide whether forwards have gone down as a result of simulation or genuine foul play.”, according to Yahoo news. Do you think such a device can stop football player diving? What do you hate most in football matches? [/quote]
