I am not sure if it is just me but this year there seems to be so much more play acting and dramatics. Don't get me wrong Doyle is mad for it as well with the old rolling around on the floor but there was one of their players on Saturday who rolled about 10 metres, punching the floor and screaming in "agony".
When McDonald got sent off, the guy got a little clip on the heel but was rolling about like he had broken his leg in 5 places or something.
The new thing seems to be punching the floor pretending to be in pain, it should be an instant booking the minute they stand up and are suddenly OK.
There just seems to be a lot more than there was previously in League One.
I can't remember it being so common in League 1 last year
cos noone needed to do it vs us, was an easy win most weeks without cheating
Kelly's one on the touchline disappointed me on Saturday. Must have rolled 10 times clutching his leg. It was a clear yellow but was just trying buy the red. Would have rather he jumped up and squared up to him.I am not sure if it is just me but this year there seems to be so much more play acting and dramatics.

Pathetic reason your team mates have missed matches deserves a thread of it's own! We had a lad last season that missed a game because he'd got mosquito bites on his legs so couldn't wear socks.There's been a massive increase in it last few years. It's expected in the Premier League and the Championship, but leagues 1 and 2 you wouldn't expect to see it.
Kids are growing up watching it these days! The more they see their "favourite player" diving/rolling around, the more they think it's acceptable.
Being 32 I an still remember images of Terry Butcher bandaged up and covered in blood, I read a few weeks back that somebody wasn't playing as he's got a pimple on his leg after shaving his legs???
I remember Cantona getting straight back to his feet like nothing had happened after being 2 footed by Vinnie Jones. Nowadays the player would be down for 3 weeks.
