Or Scottish ones, Welsh ones, Irish ones, French ones, German ones, Spanish ones, Italian ones, Dutch ones, Senegalese ones, Korean ones, Japanese ones, Nigerian ones, South African ones, Australian ones.... it's part of global game at all levels

Exactly. Always has been, always will. Ronaldo seems to be a poster boy for it, in England at least, and I just don't get it. Because he winked at a camera once?

Indeed, just like Gordon Ramsey likes an occasional swear, or like Sachin Tendulkar liked hitting the odd boundary. Or that Jowlrry occasionally comes across as a wee bit baity or touchy.

Especially when people get my user name wrong……i was banned for doing that once

This. So much this.

And it's not like any England players ever dive or attempt to manipulate the referee.

Rodney Marsh used to boast about how he'd trip over his own feet in the penalty area if someone tried to tackle him.

Banned for getting your own username wrong?

Seems fair enough!

Really? Because using the goalkeeper as an 'outfield' player has been a thing for a long time.

Don't forget that Postie was a goalkeeper back in his day for the GPO team. If anyone passed back to him, he kicked it straight back ..... returned to sender.

The tippy tappy passing it amongst the defenders and goal keeper has got far more prevalent in recent years and no doubt England will serve up a bore fest of it tomorrow.
