Ridiculous dives. The most bizarre thing about it imo is why would you dive on the half way line? Don't get me wrong, diving is a disgusting part of the game and I can just about understand, (but certainly not condone) a player diving in the area to try and win a penalty. But why would you dive on the half way line when you've already beaten your man and can set up a counter?

Baffling.
It makes me laugh that the Rags go on about how he needs protection yet they seem to forget how they always played against SWP, snapping at his ankles whenever they could.

That was because the Ref wasn't protecting them properly from SWP 'the beast'.

It's very simple mate and you've answered it in your 2nd paragraph - protection. The same happened with Tranny and once Taggart started talking about him with the same words Tranny threw himself down at the mere hint of a challenge, forcing the ref to decide and leaving the oppo player in a world of spin, not wanting to go anywhere near the player, confusing them that they are up against a little cry baby instead of a man.

It's a tried and tested method for what some would call 'A Shithouse' who can't handle any of the physical stuff in our league. The difference here is that the little scrote is nowhere on Tranny's level and never will be. If he's the future of their football, like they obviously think, then I'll be glad to see the Rag twats dive themselves down the leaue.
In the words of my Old Man, "Life will never be the same without Man City, so get it in while you can".
