A dive with minimum contact. 3 minutes ago, Unabomber said: Wait wow Salah went down like he had been tazered. 3 minutes ago, Sly said: What a dive that is. 3 minutes ago, UniFox21 said: That was embarrassing 3 minutes ago, peach0000 said: I'm sorry but that was a ridiculous dive Issue is, if Salah stays on his feet and doesn’t get the ball, the ref doesn’t give that. Can’t really blame Salah for removing any doubt...ultimately he’s got Liverpool back into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 7 February 2021 Share Posted 7 February 2021 That happens in a Leicester game you are all screaming a penalty, you're a liar if not. It's sad that it's come to this but he does grab his arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ttfn Posted 7 February 2021 Share Posted 7 February 2021 It’s obviously not a penalty but given that Dias isn’t trying to play the ball, once it’s been given shouldn’t he be sent off? The whole thing is a complete mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Posted 7 February 2021 Share Posted 7 February 2021 Spitty isn’t calling out Salah for diving is he. I’m surprised Neville hasn’t mentioned it. A draw is good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifax Fox Posted 7 February 2021 Share Posted 7 February 2021 Embarrassed for salah. And yet again we see weak refereeing. Conned? Not really. It's just the degenerative state of modern football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 7 February 2021 Share Posted 7 February 2021 3 minutes ago, Tuna said: About time commentators and pundits called the diving out. Call it what it is. Cheating. This is why Carragher shouldn't do Liverpool games (and Neville for Man Utd). They'll never call it out as long as it benefits their own team, and definitely not on Sky. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 7 February 2021 Share Posted 7 February 2021 There's two issues, first is fouls not being given for penalties, meaning whenever a player feels contact they feel like they have to go down otherwise they aren't going to win the penalty, we see it happening constantly, a player rides the tackles or jumps and doesn't get anything. The second is the non awarding of yellow cards for diving, if we did it more often and when we should we cut out a lot of the cheating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanSP Posted 7 February 2021 Share Posted 7 February 2021 It's a sad state of affairs (and I know it's been going on for a while) that for a player in that kind of position, their first instinct is to go down and get a penalty - and potentially a player sent off - as opposed to carry on through on goal and get a goal without causing controversy.

The first two are cleaver the last one is cheating and that was cheating and should have been punished as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
