Agreed. So if we're going to condemn diving we need to condemn other things
too. (Except I still think Cueller should have been let off with handling on
the line since McManus was allowed to score the week before with his arm. I
notice how everyone conveniently ignores that!)

Lol explain then what you define "hacking" as?

The Record was wrong. As you say below it's Cueller who misses the next OF
game from suspension. I would have been slightly worried if Weir and Cueller
were missing as our alternatives are to play Webster (I think he's a good
player but is he fit and even if he is he hasn't played in a long time),
Broadfoot or Papac at centre back, and while the latter two have been doing
a job at full back, I would have my worries about putting them in the centre
in such a big game.

I don't know too much about that, but I believe that his European suspension
(from yellow cards) included one for a blatant dive by a certain Mr Juninho
of Lyon a while back!
