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.

Duh, Of course he said Dele deserved the card. He got caught cheating. What else can he said. That is not the point being debated.
The point being made Mr Reasonable is that he doesn't see diving as cheating. He calls it trickery. He makes no effort to condemn it. Simply admits that Alli got caught cheating and deserved is card.
The point being made is that he is the first manager to come out and say that he has no issues with diving and sees it nothing more than trickery.
And he doesn't whine about refereess? Really? Go read the match report from this season's first NLD. His whining is the headline.
And the irony ....

Where? When did I suggest that?
