Anti-diving wrist bands

**Roo69** · 17/02/2005, 7:45 AM

ROY KEANE has taken a swipe at Arsenal by calling for anti-DIVING wristbands. Keane claimed Ashley Cole cheated during Manchester United�s 4-2 Highbury win last month.

The United skipper then poked fun at the growing trend of wearing coloured wristbands to promote campaigns. He said: �I wasn�t sure what Cole was up to. If I�d known I might have reacted differently. More.......

Great Idea , Roy is speaking from experience having been sent off himself for diving a few years back.

ohh touchy this morning!

You might have seen it was meant in jest or maybe a sence of humour doesn't exist anymore on here!

p.s. was merely responding to Roy's daily rant!

obv diving is out of order. but keane wouldnt wear the anti-racism tracksuit. racism is a far worse evil than diving. if the tosser won't publicly back anti-racism initiatives, then I don't care what he's got to say. plus if someone is anti-poverty, anti-racism, anti-cancer and anti-diving (like me) and anti-godknowswhatelse they'll be weighed down with wristbands and unable to run

That's why I think they should launch an anti-wristband, wristband. We could whore it out to some big global corporation that runs sweat shops with no workers rights. It'd be perfect...

I think some american punk rock lads might have beat us to it with a black anti-wristband wristband! Saw an article about it on line - see below.

Second yellow. It wasn't actually a dive (nor a foul either), he was just brought down with a challenge in the box - no one, including him (or the fans behind the goal) actually appealed for a peno. Blackburn had already had a man sent off, so a proper evening up decision.

Song of the day: Boom Boom Boom, Let me hear you say Keano - Keano

You could'nt possibly be suggesting that Rooney, Ruud or Neville would ever do such a thing

, have you not heard or Ruud's terrible nerve problems which make him fall over when some1 comes within a 2foot radius of him inside the box. And you could quite clearly see that poor Wayne was swept off his feet by the gust of air between himself and Sol C at old Trafford, as for Neville..... the poor fella's just stupid

Deco last night was a disgrace.
Referees are not helping the situation, if he got a yellow every time he tried this then he might think better of it.

Agreed, that dive was so obvious I almost laughed - seems there's no punishment for it, he gets away scot(t) free to try it again some other time when the ref just might be fooled...

Also, Marquez deserved a card for raking Drogba in the first half - if it's good enogh for RVN to get suspended for three games then he deserved a card at least...

If you look at the replay from the opposite camera, Frisk is about 5-10 yards away and looking straight at Deco as he dove like a ballerina.
Don't be making excuses for that prima donna (do u like my highlights?)excuse for a referee.
