Chelsea Fans React On Twitter For Gary Cahill’s ‘Swan Lake’ Dive

Chelsea defender Gary Cahill’s dive against Hull City did not win him any fans as they took to twitter to ridicule the England international.

Hull City’s manager Steve Bruce was unimpressed and had said yesterday, “I’ve been asked if Cahill should have gone and the simple answer is yes, especially given the referee has booked two people for simulation or diving. The likes of Oscar, Hazard or Willian are running at pace so the smallest connection can bring them over, but this is England’s centre-half.

“It could have been a red card, his first-half challenge on [Sone] Aluko. That was reckless and dangerous. But when you watch [the dive] over, it’s like something out of Swan Lake. It’s that blatant, that obvious what he’s trying to do.”

Here are some of the tweets:

Gary Cahill should be ashamed of himself for that blatant dive — Colin Udoh (@ColinUdoh) December 13, 2014

Definite dive so booking for Cahill. Would of meant red. Bottled it the ref #hcafc — Adam (@adam_brookes) December 13, 2014

Yes, so do we!

Unacceptable and unnecessary from Cahill. I hate when players dive. Hate it — Rasta (@iamtrini) December 13, 2014

The points go to…

Great dive Cahill. 9/10 — .Jad (@JadSaad99) December 13, 2014

No, wait…

Nice dive Cahill 10/10 — Oli Price-Bates (@OliPriceBates) December 10, 2014

Even the journalists did not spare him and the referee Chris Foy:

Fine player, Cahill, but really don’t see why he didn’t get second yellow for the dive. Strange decision. — Oliver Holt (@OllieHolt22) December 13, 2014

Cahill’s dive wasn’t even convincing. Should obviously have been sent off for a second yellow. — Owen Gibson (@owen_g) December 13, 2014

Awful refereeing from Chris Foy, who fails to book Cahill for a blatant dive – presumably because defender already on a yellow card. #weak — Richard Sutcliffe (@RSootyYPSport) December 13, 2014
