Liverpool striker Suarez fed-up with diving rep

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez is fed-up with his reputation as a serial diver.

Suarez is still blighted by his diving reputation - a stigma he says is driving him mad.

"I insist I don't dive in the penalty area," he said. "This is my career and the bad reputation created around me is unjust.

"If you analyse the statistics I am one of the forwards who receives the most fouls and free kicks.

"There always seems to be controversy surrounding me but I accept the referee's decisions - they are only human.

"I accept the criticism against me but many people attack me without reason. That doesn't please me but I try to do my best day by day."
