i belive that women should be able to play in larger stadiums instead of using the league 1 and 2 stadiums. I often go and watch Everton ladies play and most of the time they play to a higer standard than what the men do there is none of this diving malarky. it highly frusrates me when im watching world class players rolling around on the floor just to get a free kick its PATHETIC!!

yes it does exsist at all levels but if you compare the amount of diving in the mens leagues compared to the womens leagues you will see a major difference

I hate all the diving rubbish in the men’s game, really winds me up, grown men rolling around like little kids!
The men could learn a lot from the women, there is a lot less diving or showmanship in women’s football, yet the game can still be physical with no complaints.
There are fewer dramatics or theatre on the pitch in terms of diving; referees are left to get on with their job none of this crowding and trying to influence decisions.
Players get tackled they get up. Simple. The majority of players do not dive at all, might get the odd player who does, but on the whole its just ‘get up and go’.

The men should pay attention.

Has anyone seen an instance in a women's game where a player has suddenly got up when they realise the ref isn't going to give a free kick?
I'm not saying it has never happened, but....

Its good that there is no or very little diving the womens game, but u need to realise that the womens game does not much money imvolved and the stakes are lower. So there i less of a reason to dive this does not mean im like diving i hate it, btu i can see why it is done. still not rite.

most of the womens matches do flow alot easyier and do not have as many stoppages also there are not many red cards show either i think that the women play the sport b coz they enjoy it
not so dey can ave a fancy ouse an a flash car they dont get paid a £100,000 a week just to play one game like the men do they do it because they're passionate about it Exclamation
i think there is too much money in the mens game that could be put to better use
like funding the womens game Exclamation Exclamation
