There is absolutely no doubt about it PP is, and always had been, a diving *******. 🙂 In fairness to him, he does run at a fair lick right at defenders so gets clipped and caught a lot. Conway was exactly the same BTW...

I wouldn't say Conway was a serial diver. No way. He drew a lot of fouls, some played for, but a lot of the time they were actual fouls. Pawlett just makes it so blatant. Arms out in front, legs out the back. Straight 10's at the Olympics.

I agree, didn’t think of Conway as diver, he was master of cutting across opponents and drawing fouls, best I’ve ever seen at it.

Pawlett can’t help himself now, he has done it his whole career and it’s his natural instinct. Maybe it’s worse because he doesn’t seem to have pace to get away from players once he goes past them, so does that superman fall which stands out a mile. His tackling can be a bit of a liability too.

Think grealish the worst diver going, though Kane gave him a run at the euros. And don’t forget the snarling duo of Ferguson and brown at Aberdeen, who spend a lot of energy kicking opponents, diving and whining at refs to get opponents sent off.

Conway was, 100%. Was he a bit more fly than PP? Yes, definitely but he played for fouls just the same.

Massive difference in expecting a foul, drawing a foul, going down under the challenge and diving. 2 very different things.
No way was CCFFS a diver!

Was at perth on Sunday great result and performance from team and supporters wer superb. Pawlett 2nd yellow im still not sure about but if you seen whole game the ref was one worst I've seen Rooney should have been off and with what him and Davidson got away with whole game was ridiculous two hammer throwers with others in that team

I can see why the ref gave it but he was definitely caught. But, he should have been off for the foul on Booth, absolute stick on yellow card. My grievance is actually with PP getting the first booking, stupid and unprofessional for an experienced player, just daft.

I also don't think McNulty helped things with the first yellow by dragging him into the supporters! Fortunately, it didn't cost us and I hope that it proves to be a lesson for the rest of the team....we need to be focussed 100% during te games and not picking up cheap avoidable cards!

It may yet cost is as I assume he'll now be suspended at some point?
