Oh dear, Eduardo....

European football's governing body is to investigate an alleged dive by Arsenal's Eduardo during the Champions League 3-1 qualifier win over Celtic. If found guilty of simulation, the striker could face a two-match ban
Uefa to review Eduardo incident

OK, this is getting ridiculous...I don't condone diving, but for Eduardo to be apparently labelled a heinous cheater after one alleged incident is out of order.

Or to put this in perspective:


  • Eduardo suffers a horrific double leg break against Birmingham City in February 2008...no action is taken against the perpetrator, Birmingham's Martin Taylor.
  • Eduardo tumbles theatrically and gets a penalty...he's a dirty cheat, ban him.

Sorry, but the British media's knee-jerk reaction is simply pathetic and revolting.

By the way, if Eduardo's a cheat, then what about Ashley Young's apparent theatrics for Aston Villa in last night's Uefa Europa League match against Rapid Vienna?
Arsenal's Eduardo should be punished for his dive - but the furore over the incident is hypocritical and embarrassing
