No you are quite right. I am wrong and my opinion counts for nothing. I have had enough of trying to justify my OPINION! Enjoy the rest of the week-end.

Possibly. I think that it was one of those situations that if it had happened anywhere else on the pitch wouldn`t have resulted in any decision from the ref. I think that JRod and the defender just came together and it ended up with JRod on the floor. It was the ref that ballsed up but JRod seems to be getting it in the neck as a cheater which I think is unfair. If it was a blatant dive I would condemn it straight away.

I watched the live stream and the countles replays. None of the commentators suggested that JRod dived. They just said that there was no contact, which was correct, and that the ref had got it wrong.

OK. You think that he dived, I think that he didn`t. Why do you think that he did?

And my OPINION is that he did not dive. Why do I have to justify my OPINION to you??

This from the person who was rigidly questioning me because my opinion was different from his!!

"It happens all the time in football". So why threads and posts condemning him if he was doing what is the norm? Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk 2

Are players allowed to try to avoid tackles? In doing so are they allowed to lose their balance? Of course not. It was a blatant dive. Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk 2

I cannot believe that we are trying to crucify JRod for a split-second moment that got us three points against a relegation rival. My opinion is that it was not a dive. Others may disagree but how self-righteous are some on here? Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk 2

Don't be so bloody silly. It was not a dive and even if it was it was not blatant. It was cleverly done. But it wasn't! Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk 2

But it was a blatant dive.....apparently, so they were only reporting the facts....weren't they? Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk 2

OK so in your world players only go to ground if it is a fair tackle, a foul or a dive and for no other reason?

Well it is all about opinions as they say. Having watch the game on line and watching the incident 5 or 6 time when it was replayed I still don`t think that it was a dive. That is nothing to do with being biased....it is my opinion. If it was an obvious dive, I would say so, but it seems that those that say it was a dive are correct in their opinions and those that say it wasn`t are just being biased......Hey Ho.....

According to Adkins it was cramp.

It definitely wasn`t a penalty but I don`t think that it was a dive either. If exactly the same incident had happened outside the area and nothing was given nobody would have said anything and just got on with the game, probably without a free-kick being given. It was the ref who was wrong, not Rodrigues. It seems that if the ref awards a penalty when there is no contact, it must be a dive. IMHO it wasn`t

Saw "Les Mis" this afternoon. Absolutely stupendous! Apart from Russell Crowe and Anna Seyfriend, the singing is excellent. Anne Hathaways "I Dreamed a Dream" and Eddie Redmaynes "Empty Chairs and Empty Tables" particularly outstanding. If you are a fan of the show you will be relieved like me that the film has kept to the spirt of the show and expanded it. As many people (men AND women) "blowing their noses" at the end as at the end of the stage version "Warhorse!" One of the very best British films for many years IMHO.

"What did you say? Barry Sanchez says that he is not Dune??"

If you have all that, why the need to come on here and be the attention seeking "character" that obviously want to be?
