    I'm 17 years old and am playing with full age adults - if some prat wants to harass me then he isn't going to get away with it lightly. If he wants to hit me in the neck from behind, then he needs to learn the consequences.

    completly disagree, there is nothing more irritating when some fairy goes down like a sack of shit when you've barely touched them. i hated it when i was playing, and i hate when i see drogba, ronaldo and co perform olympic gold medal dives every week.

    it really does piss me off. ive never been good at acting and id be too embarressed to do it in the first place.

    and as for being 17 and playing adult football, i started playing semi pro at 15, and on a sunday as well at 16. its all good for you, its part and parcel to get kicked to f*ck by older geezers. i know if im playing when im 40 odd im gonna be kicking lumps out of yutes. anyways, it will toughen you up, take the rough with the smooth.

    right thats me off my soapbox. i'll simmer down.... for now.

    Firstly, be careful of your wording, as you have effectively called me a diver, as well as "some fairy who goes down like a sack of shit when you've barely touched them."

    I was lightly nudging him in the back while marking him. That is "part and parcel" of the game if anything. Perhaps the guy who reacted angrily enough to first kick out at me, and then come from behind and hit me, needs to learn that. What I did was part of the game - what he did were off the ball incidents.

    The mentioning of my age was not to start a competition of who started playing certain levels of football at a younger age.

    You say that you played semi-professional football at a young age, yet you believe that "its part and parcel to get kicked to f*ck by older geezers." Maybe that happens every now and then, but at the level I am playing at, below semi-professional level, there are generally athletic players who have enough skill to make a legitimate tackle.

    Good attitude there...

    Simmer or boil on your soapbox all you like - we're chatting on the internet - do you think I really care?

    I've never really liked the NBA. I used to be a fan of the Rockets when I lived in Houston, and Charles Barkley was my hero... but meh. I'm a Tarheel basketball fan, and now a niner basketball fan, and that's pretty much it.

    I did get a Bobcats jersey a few Christmases ago though... sooo. *shrug*

    Well to be honest mate you're not meant to be doing that so yes, it may be part and parcel of the game, but if someone swings at you you need to remember that you were doing it to gain an advantage on them and sometimes people react like that. I'm not saying take the punch, just maybe exaggerating it is gaining an unfair advantage as you were poking him. So in the least offensive way, you can't come out smelling of roses, know what I mean?

    Well obviously if you're playing at a higher level you are good enough to do that, but you have to take the pace and roughness of that level, I don't think it's a means of competing when he mentioned it.

    Come on mate there's no need for that. You wouldn't have posted your story for no reason, so there's no need to say you don't care what other people think - bear in mind this is a discussion forum, so people are bound to give opinions - it's the nature of the board.

    I get you, and that is more then fair enough, but I cannot see the logic in somebody who believes that kicking, punching or taking chunks out of young players is more acceptable then the over reaction of the receiving player.

    Of course, my logic will vary to others, which makes discussions more interesting.

    You misunderstood me there. I was saying that I don't care whether he "simmers" for now or not. If I didn't care about his opinion, then I wouldn't reply to it. To me, it doesn't matter what tone he chooses to write his posts in, but rather his content - it just means that I will converse in a tone of equal sharpness, which is what I chose to do in my reply to his opinion, therefore validating my tone.

    Fair enough. But on subjects like diving people can have very strong opinions, I just wanted to diffuse any (potential) WWIII before it started.

    I'm with r&w on this one, if someone goes through the back of me (with reasonable force) i'm going down, especially if they give me a forearm in the back of the head because imo that aint diving, but it's how you deal with it too, the guy was obviously looking for a reaction, some people will get up and go for the guy which is probably what he wanted, some people will lie there and wait for the physio/trainer to come on to recieve treatment, personally depending on the force of impact i'd just get up and walk away, because most of the time that winds them up even more.

    I think, any push/tackle/whatever that the average Joe would not fall over when facing, if you go over on that, that's diving for me.

    lol r and w, its just that in england that is the stereotypical thing to do...i think people are stuck in the 1960s here instead of playing safely, 2 footed potential leg breaking tackles and blatent disregard for another players safety is not acceptable in my opinion at all

    but i can understand vexed point

    diving is just as bad and is extremely embaressing
