Stoke City boss Tony Pulis has blasted the antics of Chelsea's superstars after Saturday's defeat.
Pulis said: “I was disappointed with the reactions to a couple of challenges that were fouls.
“James Beattie was brought down just after Amdy got booked and he jumped up and ran on. He didn’t roll around waiting for the physio to come on, hoping to get someone a booking.
“Our lads get up. We tell ’em to. That is our culture. They’re different. Our culture is different, you have to accept that. I don’t know why it is.
“I played all my football in England where we were instructed to get up and never show you were hurt.”
Spot on tony lad none of these firys know what football is about to many foreign puffs in the game now.

Is it time to ditch the moral high ground? In the Premiership cheats DO prosper.

Ballack's reaction to Faye's tackle was disgraceful. That said, I know a Jamaican who won a penalty against Hull when he could very easily have stayed on his feet...

Well said Tone, usual double standards by officials that again we're on the brunt of, I dont think it'll change so we'll have to get used to it.

I don't think we can defend Ricardo too much - The fact that we're often the victims of cheating doesn't make it right that he should do it. I don't mind him going down to win a penalty if he's fouled (however minimal the contact), but it's the theatrical way he goes down, not to mention the way he mardarses about it when he doesn't get the decision.
The rest of the lads are an honest bunch though, perhaps too much for their own good, but I'd sooner keep it that way.

Maybe the case Knowles but how many teams have dived against us? True, but if we are going to complain we shouldn't be doing it at all. That, amongst other reasons, is why I wouldn't be starting Fuller when all our strikers are available. |

I thought we had already been labelled as divers and timewasters in the press....As for Amdy he is sadly an accident waiting to happen....I am sure opposing coaches would have spotted this from watching our matches.TP seems to have learnt his lesson from the Wilko sending off and subbed him thankfully.

We've definitely been labelled timewasters, and to be fair we do push it to the limit. However anyone calling us for diving (barring Fuller's antics) is out of order.
