And, we’re off.......2018/2019

People aren’t though are they - there have been multiple incidents of diving from other teams and people aren’t critical of their own team - seen very passionate defences of players like Kane and Hazard when they have clearly dived or gone down to easy. As been said people are very quick to point fingers at other teams and their players yet go hiding when it’s their own players - Young for example has dived loads , when people were critical of him he was defended heavily by Utd fans.

Recently the only time I can recall a fan being critical of a player of their own diving is Fundy

Tbf tho Phil you’re probably the worst for it.
Can’t wait to post anything negative about other teams/players,but seem to take it personal and will argue the toss when it’s Liverpool

Did he pull him or not?

I’d say it was basically assault 👍🏻

 

[clubchamp98]

Apparently we’d all be saying it 🤷‍♂

With WE I mean people who are honest what they are watching and not biased because he plays for another team.

Just to refresh your memory Tony

I bet you can’t find one post that I have supported diving or cheating from my team or any other team.
I have said on numerous occasions that cheating is rife because there’s too much money in football,and too much at stake.
I may be wrong on this but imo it’s the foreign players that brought it with them and many of the English and European players have joined in.
I have also said all along that I hate the way football has gone.
It’s full of cheats and feigning injury.
Refs have no chance no wonder they make mistakes.
Wether it’s Young or Salah they should be ashamed, but of course they are not.
I suspect most Liverpool fans would have had a different take on it if it had been nil nil with 2 minutes to go.
If it happens at Man Utd I will be one of the first to condemn it.
To be fair to Salah he’s also stayed on his feet many times.
It will probably get worse as more and more billionaires look to buy clubs.

Far to many of them!
It needs sorting but won’t be. They can’t even sort the offside rule out.

There’s loads of money in Golf and Tennis but players don’t routinely cheat.
I think it’s a mentality thing.
Can’t see an answer really.
VAR and retroactive action may be the answer but they won’t use it for that.

He did and he said it was a penalty!

ref was wrong - it wasn’t a penalty

When Salha went down on his knees he asked the ref a question!

His name is Salah 🤨

If he booked him for diving we would all be saying it was wrong because he was pulled back.
If he goes down and let’s the ref decide he’s diving.
If he stays on his feet the ref gives nothing!

If he was booked for diving then no one should have any complaints at all

That’s the way it is now it’s putting me off watching!
I think the ref got it wrong and he should have just played on.

It’s been the way it has been for decades - people will point to foriegn players but I have no doubt people dived during the 80’s and 90’s before the Prem being a destination for the foriegn players

Is that a penalty. Or just bad etiquette.

It's foreign 🤨

Few massive games coming up in the next week or so. Liverpool-Arsenal on Saturday, City-Liverpool next week. Could see Liverpool either extend their lead or have it disappear. This is going to be such a good title race.

 

[Bunkermagnet]

Franny Lee ?

Exactly my thoughts.....

 

[TheDiablo]

Looks like Moreno has played his last game for Liverpool, although I think only oppo fans will miss him!

No way that’s enough to bring Salha down but the defender did pull him.= Foul
If he stays up ref gives nothing , if he goes down he gives the ref a problem. = penalty or dive.

It’s not good to see players going down that easy but until the refs and FA start to punish it properly they will carry on doing it.
Only just got home so only seen the highlights .

Couldn't be much clearer than this... could it?

Perhaps if more players were punished for the shirt pulling that goes on in every game (like they're supposed to) the players would stop doing it like they do?

I don't like this new "going down to ones knees" action when a player think he's fouled, Hazard being a prime and constant exponent of this, and Salah was wrong to do it yesterday. Let the ref decide.

He did and he said it was a penalty!

I've been watching footie for over 60 years & can say that it's the best its ever been..... Good God I've even enjoyed watching Leeds Cloggers recently

If his quotes are accurate, he's lucky klopp has kept him so long, after his inept performance in Basel he should've been binned.

Franny Lee ?

Especially at anfield, am sure there was a time when folk thought a franky Lee was Chinese. There was a post where the scorer was F Lee 1pen. Would of been around 2015 🤗
