Football is not life threatening but limb threatening is certainly is (Alan Smith just the other day).

I love Motorcycle sport much more than football but I loved football first. Just because a few ponces fall down dead whenever they are touched doesn't mean I hate football. It's just another level of cheating and should be exposed as such.

As for them not trying - i don't agree at all. Premiership football is that physical that not to try would be plain suicide for your career. That's why some of them resort to cheating - they are just not good enough at that level - or having a bad day.

Trouble is that the cheating is getting worse, and it's incredible on the continent!! Nobody does anything about it though, maybe thats the frustrating thing?

I'll be cheering on England this summer, and I do follow Leeds, but I get wound up watching games and the 'acting' and lack of effort - it's like playing golf!

Frustrating. Especially when these guys do have unbelievable talent.

They should watch some rugby matches and see how real hardmen react to a kick in the leg or a punch in the face. I'm no rugby fan, but you don't see those bloke crying or going down like a sack of ****.

It shouldn't be acceptable in 2006. If they wanna act - go to Hollywood.

True ... and that's where Leeds will be staying. Reading, Sheffield Utd and Palace will be leaving though
