Celtic - Rangers threads, United - Liverpool threads. The 4 biggest fans bases bar far in the british isles and 4 of the biggest fan bases in the world.

Both rivalries are the biggest in their countries bar far. Both rivalries can get very heated and bitter. All 4 clubs are well represented on DK - no coinsidence, they are the 4 biggest supported clubs in the UK & Ireland.

I'm sure threads involving these 2 rivalries are keenly monitored by the moderators - I know they are well supported in terms of posts and views..

Now the reason I have mentioned United & Liverpool is that their threads can get as equally as heated. So I'm interested that you've singled out the Scottish clubs?

At the end of the day if you don't like what a thread is about - don't view it or post on it. If I see a thread that involves some insignificant club (to me) I don't get involved. Simple. There are plenty of other threads on this great website to get involved in.

Support your local team.

Maybe due to it being in a pretty insignificant area of the pitch and it wasn't a game changing decision?

Kayal is definitely our Lafferty, Naismith, McGregor and Aluko. He does dive far to much for my liking and as a Celtic fan I'm not happy with it. Though he's not got a pen yet with it or got anybody sent off for feigning injury yet.

On the others players you've mentioned. The King of Kings was what pundettes call 'clever'. He'd wait for contact and would go down. I can't recall him diving per se and he never feigned injury. McGeady did get a 2nd yellow at Hibs for diving - with what Rangers K Miller said he was avoiding contact of a heavy tackle.

Out of all the Celtic players I would have sai that Petrov was the most guilty. Though feigning injury as never been a big thing at Celtic - apart from when it's from a paper cup!

& there would be only 20,000 at parkhead!

Matty i admired larson at celtic he was a true ambassodor for the club but he did go down too easy looking for that freekick. Yes he was clever he hid it better than others but the point im getting at is that diving is a cancer on modern football which needs eradicating. It has to come from within the game and a stand made by the current players.Although i must admit it does seem to be a bigger problem with foreign players.

I agree. But looking at the diving and feigning injury from the likes of (and not just there's a Rangers connection) Lafferty - on several occasions, Mcgregor feigning injury (which is unusual for a keeper) and Naismith's diving. It aint just down to the foreigners. Don't get me wrong Celtic's Kayal and Petrov in the past have dived, but we aint really had UK players diving and feigning from what I remember. I don't think it's a foreigners disease anymore in football.

I think it's down to either the clubs to hand out big fines or the FA's to give big suspensions.
