It is only my impression, of course, but there seems to be more cheating & diving in the top flight, where the pressure to win is immense.
However, if I am honest, my gripe with Sky Sport is more about now having to pay for what we used to get 'free'  |
Depends what you class as cheating. Claiming a throw-in when you know the ball came off you, deliberately fouling someone, giving someone a dig when the refs not looking? These happen in all leagues.
As for diving I've seen it in the league I used to play in, maybe it doesn't happen as much as in the top flight, but then in the top flight you don't usually get 14 angry men waiting for said diver outside the changing room.
