He went to ground after moving the ball away from Morrison’s feet and trying to move with the ball, but being held back by the player hanging onto him, right in front of the ref. Player goes to ground to make obvious foul in front of a ref more obvious when he’s been fouled, what a shocker, what a diver Well, yeah that's sort of the definition of diving.

Especially when it's the same player doing it on a regular basis. Getting commented on it is part of the natural order of football. As always, if the boot was on the other foot and it was an Everton or United player you lot would have the pitchforks out in force and those fans would be getting defensive about it instead. He doesn't dive though, the defender literally had him around the neck before he goes down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrison was stupid for continuing the tussle but it happened for a few seconds prior to that. That's how It's as clear an example as you'll see of what a player has to do to win a penalty. It's a foul as soon as Morrison puts his arms around Salah and starts wrestling with him, but Salah resists for a bit and it's not until he throws himself to the ground (because he does) that the referee gives it.

Bluebird Hewitt 1,282 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Full Time - 2-0 to Liverpool and deserved. We had a great chance with Morrison's header but that was about it really. Fulham and Palace are our only possible two now for points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2,271 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Lol at people saying he dived. Definitely did not dive, he went down as Morrison was holding him back. Big win, keeping the pressure on City. It's all we can do, keep up with them. Praying for Utd to fight like fuck on wed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgnisExcubitor 678 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Salah has dived in the past, but you have to be daft to question today's call. I mean that was clear cut penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,612 Posted April 21, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted April 21, 2019 Bit nervy for a few that game. Could have done with Bobby putting away the first chance but it ended well in the end and thats all that matters. Onto the next game and hoping Fabinho is okay.

I mean I get it; I'd be loving it too if I were you, but it's definitely bitter I honestly think if that penalty happened to us, I'd be too busy criticising Lovren the defender in question because it's a clear foul regardless of whether he goes down easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah Salah does go down easily and I dont like it but in this instance the defender played into it and did have his arm around his neck. I think the referee did the right thing here by calling it a penalty because where is the attacker supposed to go? The defender doesn't have the ball, the attacker has rolled it outwards and is moving towards it while the defender has one arm around his neck. Easy call for me.

I wouldn't categorise not wanting your rivals to win the League as being bitter, that's just called having a rivalry, but it does make it more funny when ahead of that match, certain Reds fans on here were talking about properly embarrassing Everton and predicting a 4-0 win if then dropping points there costs you lot the title in the end. Admittedly the whole "bitter" thing takes on a different meaning when it comes to Everton and Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he went down very soft there. I think next season when VAR becomes more prominent we'll see this kind of thing weeded out very quickly. I don't think players should be doing that anyways but it happens and as I stated before I do not like it one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNORTHODOX 179 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Its a clear penalty because you cant man handle a player like that in the box did he go down a little easy at the end? Of course but we are trying to win the league here so i forgive him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
