Dive of the week: Morten Gamst Pedersen against Arsenal

Make that dive of the season
This is probably painful viewing for Blackburn fans, but it is hilarious for the rest of us. Morten Gamst Pedersen tries to cheat his way to being awarded a penalty against Arsenal on Saturday, but it is safe to say that an acting career probably doesn’t await when he hangs up his boots.
The Norwegian runs away from goal, clearly turns around to see whether Bacary Sagna is nearby and then falls to the ground. There is no contact at all. Nothing.


like the commentators say, it’s the worst dive you could ever witness but what i wanna ask is What Happened To The Ref; why didnt he punish the diver. i can tell you as an arsenal fan that were it to be a gunner doing the dive, he would have been punished right away!
He should be ashamed of himself and ‘fess up to the fans before he spoils he previously good name.
All to be expected from someone who plays for Sam Allardyce. Bunch of cheats.
[...] an explanation for Morten Gamst Pedersen’s ridiculously embarrassing penalty area tumble against Arsenal that doesn’t make the Blackburn man look like a cheating scumbag. The truth of the matter is [...]
