Gerrard is a diver

Slightly off topic, although it showing a bias towards Liverpool rather than against us seems reason enough to post on it.

Des Kelly in the Daily Mail tells it like it is:

Gerrard is a diver
How does Steven Gerrard consistently get away with diving? It used to be a straight contest between Didier Drogba and Cristiano Ronaldo to see who could pull off the best flying forward one-and-a-half somersault with pike.

But since the two star imports largely cleaned up their act, England's midfielder has taken over as the greatest play actor in the Premier League.

Gerrard dived twice against Blackburn and yet everyone appeared afraid to say it.

In the Sky commentary, Alan Smith euphemistically claimed: "Gerrard ran down a blind alley and decided to try his luck."

Later Andy Gray added: £Some would call it abusing the rules a little bit."

Some would, if they were trying to avoid the issue. He dived. And more's the shame because Gerrard is a much, much better player than that.

Except for that last sentence this is certainly something I can agree with wholeheartedly. And the beginning, because Ronaldo was never as big a diver as people made him out to be.
