Getting a bit of a reputation for diving, he has gone to ground about half a dozen times when barely touched

It is always amazes me how such big so called strong guys seem to go to ground so easily. It is common place in the PL (I cannot comment on other leagues). Officials seem to largely accept it and pundits and commentators tend to justify it when it is a loved media player from one of the big teams.

As someone else has pointed out, Grealish seems to spend most of his time on the ground you wonder if he is looking for some contact lenses.

I remember Micky Channon had a reputation for going over to easily, so much so the rumour was that he had studs on his shorts.
But, his antics were nothing compared to today's modern footballer who are now coached to fall over as soon as they feel contact. Blame the coaches.

The coaches always claim they dont tell them to do it, easy answer is for managers to fine a player when he dives, i'm sure that will happen !!!!!

I think you may be right GRIM as I recall Brian Clough commenting on it on TV - really showing my age now! I can't remember seeing it but I guess I had rose coloured red and white stripe glasses - Mick Channon could never do any wrong as a player in my eyes!

Haaland's lost his confidence and mojo after being quite rightly informed, that he is just a sch!t Rickie Lambert 😉

Managers & coaches will never punish players for diving because they encourage it.
But VAR could help identify the cheats.
Retrospective punishment would help.
