Ruud has to be in the running for European Footballer of the Year

I don't mind them criticising him for diving, cos it means that its just cos they can't criticise him for not scoring, or for falling over, or for being a donkey - like Heskey. <img src="graemlins/smirk.gif" border="0" alt="[Smirk]" />

Must admit though, it would be funny if he dived in the box and won a penalty that won us the game <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />

even if he doesn't get European award, he'd surely get supporters' player of the year award for that alone. <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />

He quite clearly does..

Heskey and Owen go exeragate a fall on occasion when fouled, as many strikers do..

Diouf rolls around like a tart when fouled, which makes me cringe..

Van Divealrooy performs a perfect swan when he isn't touched.....</strong><hr></blockquote>

Davo - Heskey falls over when there's no-one near him.
Owen - Takes a dive if anyone looks in his direction.
 
Not too long ago there was a thread on here, where several Mancs condemned Van Divelarooy for his incessant cheating..

Now there are some arguing as to whether or not he does it!!!

He's a cheat, and should stop..simple as that

You mean this one?

Good title to the thread an' all..... ;)

Amazing what a couple of goals will do for the Mancs blinkers......
 
Well, Ruud does dive occasionally. I love him to bits, but he does dive. Not a occupational diver though, like Totti who was totally disgraceful, but still a occasional diver nonetheless. But with Owen, Diouf in the Liverpool side... And Heskey whom I don't even want to mention. Well actually Heskey's not a diver, he just happen not to have a good balance.

Back to the topic. Ruud should be in the running, only not for Holland's non-existence in the World Cup.
