Is it a bird? … Is it a plane? (What are you, retarded? Planes don’t wear capes) … Nope, it appears to be… it is! … Diving Ashley Young! Simulation in the air, ref!? That’s a booking.
A pointed out by our chums at Two Footed Tackle, Diving Ashley Young (spotted in action vs Montenegro at Wembley) has definite meme potential. Here’s the original photo:

guys just check out aiden mcgeady and his dive against slovakia i mean penalty and then a tackle about 5 mins later….poor diver
Ok so did no one on the internet watch he England match and see the replays !!!
As young went past 2 players and into the box the 3rd player he went around ran straight into him !
he tried to move out the way and still got caught !!
So its not a dive or a cheat there was contact he is only little !!! he is going to go over !!!
And he is a better winger then that other Shit thats came on to replace him !!!
Being a good winger doesn’t make you a good diver. And yes, that was a sick dive. When people fall over their legs dont rise upwards by a number of feet and end up above your head (unless you fall head-first down a hole).
I also believe that the joke is the hypocrisy when it comes to English players. Eduardo was a cheat as is Ronaldo and pretty much any other foreigner in the Premiership yet this clown tries it (failing badly) and the papers point out that he can’t do it properly, not the fact that he shouldn’t be doing it at all.
[...] I think it probably was a penalty, but there’s little doubt that Chamakh could have stayed on his feet. But that’s the game today: a contact sport that allows increasingly little contact. And let’s say it together: English players dive too. [...]
