I don't know why some commentators at the time felt bad for him or thought he was hard done by. He blatantly cheated, and in one of the most embarrassing ways possible, and was caught and punished. Who watches football and likes diving and simulation, or thinks it should go unpunished? It's one of the worst parts of the sport.

Also, I don't get this "cOnSiStEnCy" argument people make that if we can't find and punish every single instance of diving and simulation then it should just be open season for them. Some cheaters getting caught and punished is always better than none.
