TWITTERING **** AT WORTHING
Permalink  
 

Anyone see the Non League Paper article weekend just gone on that cretin at Worthing who Twittered away for all to read that he'd dived to get a penalty against Walton Casuals? Freddy Barker's his name and he smiley faced and "lol lol lol'ed his way through it all on Twitter. Ryman League - to it's credit - has forwarded it all to the FA. Football is infested with cheats and con artists like this **** - will the FA as usual do FA???

On a more serious note just shows how corrupt some of these players are. I can honestly say that in all the time I played I never once dived or went down injured unless I was actually injured. Too much seen on tv these days for my liking.

I dont remember anyone diving when playing against me either. (To be fair, I normally nailed them)

You surprise me Dave. Come over as the big cuddly teddy bear type at games.

By the way Simon was that the cretin at Worthing or the Crellin? Understand he likes the odd tweet as well.

The con artists seem to get more blatant the less that the FA and FIFA are seen to tackle what is an infestation of the game. Youtube even features some of the worst examples of what Barker and his ilk get up to.

I believe that the individual's comments have led to him being released.

Have they?... Bet he'll regret that and not dive again!! It'll follow him around though...

Sadly its an aspect of the game, an £86m player dives so why should a 25p player get into any more trouble than a retrospective yellow card, an idiot yes for his tweet, but not that serious

Surely such behaviour would go against your discipline stance wouldn't it Chris?

Nice one Chris about him signing for us smile. What is worse than what con artists like him do is the people who supposedly run football doing nothing about it - especially at the top level where these shenanigans are shown from all angles. And still nothing gets done retrospectively.

FA should tell all clubs they will deduct goals and points retrospectively unless they clean up their own acts. Once the message gets through - it will be self policed out of existence. It's a penalty you would never have to enforce.

Worst of all - kids copy what the pros do. 

I'm not sure that Barker is fully aware his Twitters ended up in the NLP. If he wasn't, he is now. Anyway - good old YouTube always comes up with the goods...........

Sorry Chris I was supposed to reply to your post and hit the edit tab instead,

I meant to say that obviously the tweet was deemed a step too far due to him being released. The issue of diving is as you say part of the game and I believe needs to be addressed similarly to that as when a player handles the ball to deny a scoring opportunity by red carding them, they are when all said and done are cheating and trying to gain an advantage of scoring a goal. A very grey area as to what's a dive and what's not and you could argue where do you draw the line?

Exactly as a player can dive to avoid get kicked or tripped, sadly only where tv evidence is available can you be sure, or if an idiot admits to diving. The FA are powerless in this as it has to come via fifa.

And there lies the problem with a lot in football.
