String up arrogant diver Diouf

IT’S a disease that won’t go away of its own volition. The ‘authorities’ that speak loudly of their intentions have, so far, failed utterly to address the problem.

FIFA said ‘exponents’ would be sent off during the World Cup. The Football Association and English referees, pre-season, asked for clubs’ co-operation in eradicating the problem. But, in each case, nothing has happened. The problem? Diving.

And an example has to be set. Step forward El-Hadji Diouf. Now this guy thinks he’s a “clever” footballer and is only doing what “everybody else does”.
