And, we’re off.......2018/2019

Eh? “Pull” a foul ? You mean like forwards do in the box to win a penalty and this forum goes into meltdown about deliberating cheating or are you saying cheating is ok?

No I’m not advocating cheating - you misunderstand what im saying.

You commit to going for the ball knowing you’re probably going to get there second but also knowing your opponent is going to have to go in recklessly if he’s to get there first.

It then down down to the ref to decide if your opponent was reckless or not, even though he got the ball first.

You see see plenty of free kicks, on match of the day, where a player gets there first but then carries on through the guy coming in second. It’s deemed reckless.

Top trolling :rofl: a still from an incident that happened in less than a second. :rofl:

Wasn’t there another still from the other week ehen The Rangers lad got sent off. Made the incident look very bad and in real time it as nothing and the red card even got rescinded

There was a still from the CL Final showing Salah grabbing Ramos first, but that was ignored.

If you get the chance to see the incident in real time as Lord T says Ings knows he isn’t going to get the ball and turns his back, that’s the reason he gets the marks there.

I maintain that he wasn't close enough to warrant going for it. It was a pointless challenge that he was never going to win. 50-50 is a different matter but I didn't see it that way.

I didnt think it was 50 50 but you never know where the ball is gonna go if it hits ings. Its happened before. Just putting keeper under pressure is enough.

According to Dermot Gallagher (like him or not he did do it at the top level) it wasn't a red card http://www.skysports.com/football/n...k-is-a-red-card-offence-says-dermot-gallagher

Another Liverpool dive !

Another Liverpool dive !

Not according to the 5live commentary. And they thought Salah was good to stay on his feet not long before in the box.

He got 7.8 from the Russian judge

As shown in the replays Sahko clipped him as he was about the shoot and Salah went down a bit too theatrical maybe but still doesn’t stop it being a penalty from the Sahko clip - but then Zaha is spending the whole game doing the same thing - going down at the nearest of touches

 

[PJ87]

Any other club and you would be berating the player but nope one of your own.. it’s fine. Double standards

 

[chrisd]

Clear dive

 

[Lord Tyrion]

It would appear not....
That's it - I'm done with football.

Amazed by that 😞. (The decision, not your comment)

That’s a tough three points - not many are going to win there , really impressed with Palace - really solid and hard to break down but with Zaha a massive threat on the break. Felt sorry for the young lad who got the red as he looks a talent - maybe wasn’t a red if Salah isn’t getting the ball - Palace just need to find a way to get Benteke scoring.

The back four for Liverpool were brilliant - Gomes was brilliant but VVD just World Class , very efficient in the middle - solid and a good three points to get - clean sheet and the GK big hand in that

 

[Deleted member 16999]

Game was over as a competition once Palace went down to 10.

The pen? You’d be screaming for it if it’s your team and fuming if it’s against you.

 

[pbrown7582]

Whats the fall out between Palace and their "ultras" section. The Echo is saying "[FONT="]Howdy from Selhurst Park, a place where it might get loud.[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#141414][FONT="]Or perhaps not as loud as normal, given the stand-off between the Palace ‘ultras’ and the club that means their usual singing section won’t be here tonight. At least not all sat together at any rate."[/FONT]

They requested a move from the corner section to behind the goal, the club were agreeable as long as the fans sat behind the goal were ok to move. They declined the request so the ultras haven’t bought the corner section tickets and weren’t present en masse. Negotiations continue but can’t really see a solution.

 

[chrisd]

Could have got a draw against a side who will finish top 4 . Still think Salah dived but he was given the opportunity too. It didn't look like Salah had control of the ball for the sending off but PL refs imo are pretty crap 😁

Looks like we've got a good chance of mid table + with that team. Benteke has to find the net soon or he's got to go

 

[Deleted member 18121]

Sakho had a couple of nibbles at him with the ball gone, so yes it's a foul but for me it's over as a discussion when Gary Neville says it's a penalty for Liverpool, if he says it then there can be little doubt.

Palace a very very good side though and I don't think anyone will have an easy game there, fair play to them.

Well your manager thought your full backs could have been better, so maybe no so brilliant :thup: think AA needs to improve on his crosses.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Liverpool probably edged it but Palace look a very solid outfit this season and think they'll be comfortable in mid-table. As others have said one of those you'd want for your team and would be annoyed if you conceded it. There was contact but the dive was theatrical (imo). All we need now is the prediction league table
