GRAHAM POLL: Divers are all foreign? No, it's a British disease
Craig Bellamy will not be getting much sympathy from match officials after his incorrect red card on Saturday he's hurled too much abuse at them over the years for that. [LNB]However, his dismissal for a second caution was clearly wrong as he was fouled by Bolton's Paul Robinson and referee Mark Clattenburg will cringe when he looks at replays of the incident. However, if you are to win a war then there will be innocent casualties as the Welshman was on Saturday.[LNB]It is high time referees focused on a real blight of the modern gamebut should use all information both on the field and in preparing forgames if they are to get the big decisions right. Whilst you shouldnever prejudge, I would be surprised if Bellamy has ever been cautionedfor diving before yes, he is a serial abuser but a diver?

Rooney tumbles despite no [LNB]Of course, prejudice can be dangerous: it's a myth that foreigners arethe divers. Of the 10 cautions for simulation in the Premier Leaguethis season, seven have gone to British players, five of them English.[LNB]Among the English miscreants is our main striker, Wayne Rooney, whose artistic dive at Old Trafford on Saturday was as clear an attempt to deceive a referee as you could see. One can only hope Fabio Capello gets his message across to Rooney before next summer as England will not want him suspended at a World Cup.[LNB]Oh yes, the other 'diver' this weekend: Wolves midfielder Matthew Jarvis, 23 and English.[LNB] PIERS MORGAN: Ashton's a good guy, he doesn't deserve such a cruel fateAfter Maynor Figueroa's goal lit up the Premier League Sportsmail remembers 10 great goals from the top flightManchester United 0 Aston Villa 1: Martin O'Neill's Englishmen look real dealManchester United star Ryan Giggs named Sports Personality of the Year 2009[LNB] Explore more:People:Fabio Capello, Paul Robinson, Wayne Rooney, Graham Poll, CRAIG BELLAMYPlaces:United Kingdom
