PSG were the better team but Verrati should have been sent, Ref bottled it there unfortunately.
Why??Quote:

I will point out he probably just in in the top 10 his country has produced but that isnt a blight when you consider Pele Romario Ronaldo Ronaldhinio Zico etc
Every time he is one the big stage his reputation gets diminished because of his actions...he might be a good player, maybe even a great but his is a diving bitch....something those you mentioned never wereQuote:

Like really really really extremely rich.
Pele, Romaria, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Zico, Rivaldo, Garrincha, Roberto Carlos, Cafu and Didi. He is probably a more talented player than 6 or 7 of those, and will win more trophies and make more money, but won't be remembered as the same class of player/person as them. He will get brought up in conversation, he will have the highlights reel, but the way he left Barca because of his ego and the way he acts will drop him down the list of greats.Quote:

When will they start reviewing these incidents? There was a push a few seasons ago to retrospectively look at diving and simulation and give sanctions for it in terms of suspensions.
Have never seen somebody seriously injured roll around on the ground for 30 seconds.
Bump...
That would have to be one of the most bizarre late winners I've ever seen.
Jordsn Pickford: TYVM.
2 absolutely pumping derby's last night.
Bump back..?
Judging by the number of diving meme's around, Neymar's lowlights will exceed his highlights on the interweb.
For once a keeper gifts us some points.
I just watched a replay of the goal...lots and lots of times :grin:
van Dijk - hooks it and turns his back. Gives up on it.
"Nah...that's into touch."
Unfortunately I haven't seen a camera angle of him watching what unfolded after Pickford's blunder.
Best assist he'll ever make...or does that credit go to Pickford? :roflz:
Loving Klopp and his crazy German antics more and more.
Anyone here done a game at Ka-fey?
I haven't, yet.. But am keen to.Quote:

Outlaws couldn't believe I was watching 2 games at once!
Watched the ManUre game in Vienna. Geez it's good watching games in this time zone.
Merry Xmas everyone.
:brrr:

Sleep well Kopites.
Salah is a diving ****
No Chelsea player has EVER gone down softly under a challenge. Have they.Quote:

(The suspension is only because a Pen was awarded and converted, and I think the ref was deceived to award the pen.)
i was watching one of those stupid soccer shows with the stupid people on it the oter night and they were falling over themselves about a challenge from Luiz in the Chelsea game that was a classic shoulder to shoulder bump.
It was solid contact, in the box and the Watford (?) dude hit the ground hard. These stupid soccer hot take experts rabbled on for a good few minutes whether it was a pen or not, but made sure to tell all and sundry that Luiz is a stupid head for even trying to tackle someone in the box (note: one fo the dudes on the show absolutely HATES David Luiz).
Anyway after the 'debate' about the Chelsea one, they played the Salah one and the same dude (a former Liverpool player) spent 3 sec going "oh yeah its not a good look" then moved on to the next thing.
In conclusion: Salah is getting a free ride from the press (and refs) at the moment because he dives, a lot.
You watch Hazard play with your eyes closed do you ??Quote:

So the FA reviewed the incident and deemed it acceptable?
Imo, he’s gone down very easy and made the most of it. Was there contact? Yes. Would it have been a free kick on halfway? Yeh, probably.
Deemed it acceptable??Quote:

Just the odd token gesture of nailing some nobody for it
If it was Brooks for Bournemouth or anyone from Newcastle/Fulham/Southampton they would "make an example" but they can't go around sanctioning anyone from the top 6 because there's already too many divers who've gotten away with it to start now.Quote:

The Salah one had contact, and he milked it.
I only thought review was for cases where there was clearly no contact.
But that where they actually need to start addressing itQuote:

It up to the governing bodies to grow a pair and rub the likes of Salah out for his hystronics for minimal contact made
I'm not saying Salah is a saint but he regularly rides challenges. What about the one he has studs raked down his Achilles to on my stay up and score a few touches later?Quote:

No different to the "definite" foul on Redmayne in Perth last week.
yeah right pal just ask Bruce Lee what 'minimal contact' feels like.Quote:

Yeah you're right. The defender should have stop trying to pull him back after he missed him on the first attempt.Quote:
