retro diving

A random Friday clip of Real Madrid keeper Buyo cheating

Acceptable in the 80s?

Diving, cheating and bad refereeing isn’t a new phenomenon in football – it’s been going on in foreign countries for years.

Here’s Real Madrid goalkeeper Francisco Buyo making a good tackle, then throwing himself in the air, then rolling and rolling, then pretending to get smacked in the face to get a player sent off.

Never happened over here, did it?
