Here's the incident, to me Fabregas looks like a clown here but maybe there was deceptive force there

So how big is the possibility that the red card will be taken back (no game penalty) and Fabregas action will be investigated after that?
Not so familiar with the spanish league but in Germany there would be a lot of fuzz about it until something happens.

If you can call something the cancer of football it's basically something like that. Even worse is when it comes from the greatest team and players of all. Is this really what is also part of their training schedule? I like barca but seeing that from anyone is disgusting

God damn that Fab shit ticks me off. Dude used to be a hero to me back in London. Should be a suspension for such ridiculousness (not bloody likely). I expect/hope that Medel's suspension will be cut short, because that is absolutely not a red card.

The only player that doesn't do it is Messi. One more reason to respect him.

Jesus, are people still spouting this horseshit? Messi might not do it as often, but I remember last season vs. Real Sociedad, 2-2 in extra time, Messi blatantly takes a dive in the box. Also he's done almost the exact same thing as Fabregas just did.

Granted there's a little bit of hit here, but oh my god so much pain ... dying...




Some others where he goes over ridiculously easily

Everybody does it. It works. It can win you games. It sucks but until there is an international crackdown on diving it isn't going anywhere.

Why is it taking so long for FIFA or UEFA to implement a retroactive punishment for divers and simulators? Oh, I guess they're all too busy slipping each other money under the table.

diving and cheating is basically just more frequent the more important the matches are. the best teams play more important matches and thus dive more. retroactive punishment is one possible solution, the other one is just for everyone to start caring a little less about football, and there being less money involved. ;(

Drogba doesn't dive. What you are referring to is going down under the smallest amount of contact that would never bring a grown man to the ground.

Messi does dive, not as often as Drogba and CRonaldo, but he all the same time dives.

Pretty much. When the stakes get higher, players are more desperate to cheat. Which is why video evidence needs to come in and counter this. Imagine if a player who dived got a red card if video evidence was required for it to be seen? Goodbye diving! Unfortunately fair-play isn't as high on the FIFA agenda as asking more money.

No, what he does is asking the refs for fouls and penalties and stuff, cause he's messi the best player ever, he can get away with everything and people listen to him. But he almost never dives.

Lol, are you guys serious? The guy 100% headbutt fabregas... even if it wasn't very hard at all, it's still a headbutt which is a direct red card always. It's the intention that counts most here, it's clear his intent was to headbutt him... So funny you guys all getting mad over a person who deliberately tried to harm another player like that... even if it wasn't very effective.

He pressed his head against Fabregas, both players were moving towards each other with no intent of moving aside. It was just a claim your space macho thing. Not very clever, but no real intent of harming another player and Fabregas just used the little bit of contact to get his opponent sent off for something which is no more than a yellow card. Just as shameful as Rivaldo in 2002 IMO

Now this is a headbutt:
