Stan Collymore Joins Moral High Ground Police and Slams Eduardo and Wenger

The Eduardo incident just rolls on and on with more ex-players, pundits and commentators joining in to condemn the Croatian international for inventing the art of diving.

The latest to get involved in this saga is former Liverpool player Stan Collymore.

In his day, Collymore was an angel on and off the pitch and he had this to say:

"Wenger said UEFA’s treatment of Eduardo is a 'witch-hunt' and vowed to protect his player.

"But having seen the footage, I cannot believe Wenger can support Eduardo so strongly.

"I would like to see managers like Wenger acting to protect the integrity of the game and helping to stamp out diving by condemning it.

"As it is, UEFA have decided to get involved and good luck to them.

"But their threat of a two-game European ban for Eduardo is not enough and personally, I’d happily see all cheating players giving an eight-game ban.

"There is no point hitting a millionaire in the pocket by fining him so you have to start looking at other punishments as an effective deterrent.

"If a player can’t play for eight games he would think twice about diving because he would probably lose his place in the team.

"Managers like Wenger who also harbour and protect cheats should get a four-match touchline ban.

“It needs to be done to clean up the game and rid it of cheats."

So by this standard, if every diving player was to get banned for eight games per dive, opposing teams would never have to worry about seeing Steven Gerrard play against them again as he would be constantly in the stands.

Of course, Rafa would be beside him for not coming out and condemning his most important player and Stan Collymore would be perfectly okay with all this.

Get back on your high horse son and ride on!!

Whether you read the Bible or believe in it there is a beautiful saying present. It goes "Let him without sin cast the first stone."

There have been a lot of stones thrown at Arsene Wenger and Eduardo Da Silva this week—I never knew so many in football were without sin.
