TBH, the whole Evra thing and aftermath I put down to trying to wind someone up and not knowing how frowned upon the means are (his angle on it was wrong, but it is true that you will not find a single person in Uruguay who thinks calling someone a fecking n****r is worse than calling him son of a bitch/wanker/bastard/motherfecker/other, which is and always will be common fare on a football pitch). That didn't surprise me, riling up and usnettling defenders is a key part of his game, which I don't have a problem with.
It doesn't surprise me either that, being at Liverpool, he has handled the whole matter dreadfully. He is a footballer, not the cleverest person in the world, seems to get no decent advice, and the press are happy to lap up his ability to continuously provide them with infuriating poorly-judged statements. That the concept of an apology has not entered his brain is mistifying.
The handball incident I've always been 100% with him.
Diving and. more the case, excessive playacting bothers, but I've got used to seeing so many top class players do it...
It's the biting, eye-gouging, hair pulling, snide elbows and "accidental" dangerous kicks and tackles which I can't stand. I will take however many goals he scores for Uruguay, but will never like him one bit.
