And you can bet that if one of Uniteds players are "the talk" on Monday night that "the talk" won't be of how skillful the dive was, how they should be congratulated for it or if they are carded for it how it should be practised more in training.
If that had been a manager of note saying what Poch said you can guarantee the FA would be all over it.

Well the FA isn't all over him because that isn't what was said. The very first line was that he thought that Dele deserved the card and there was no discussion. Like it or not, one of the best things about Poch is that he doesn't blame the refs, good or bad. He accepts that they see things and make calls and that is part of the game.
Like I say, you're just twisting the article (which talked about the way things were 15-20 years ago, and when he was a boy), and suggesting that he is teaching players to dive. We all know that isn't the case, but what can I do? Like the old saying goes: I can't reason you out of a position you didn't reason yourself into in the first place.
