Villa definitely practice diving in training

Grealish, McGinn and Watkins compete for gold, silver and bronze.



Been at it for years,Grealish and McGinn were always at it and Watkins has form for it as we know.

Softest team in the league.

All the Villa team are diving. It’s a key part of the defensive tactics of Targett and even more so Matty Cash. It’s disgusting.

Referees will have to cut this out by booking anyone who dives anywhere on the field of play. Only occasionally does someone get booked for cheating at the moment, and usually only for diving in the box. Elsewhere, you may get a ref telling someone to get up and play on but that’s simply not enough.

Diving and feigning injury is ruining the game. It looks rotten, it sours the atmosphere in a game, and gives such bad example to young players.
