Dive Watch

[Blueboys11]

If Eriksen threw his arms back and did a swan dive the ref would have paid it let alone var

Yep, Salah has had a couple of those paid this season

It pays to fall over

All those posters who didn’t think that was a penalty for Salah are morons.

Morrison was like an octopus strangling his prey.

It's hilarious to see some make a complete fool out of themselves doing it. Also amusing that a Spurs fan gets more worked up about Salah winning one of the most blatant penalties of all time than his own team not getting a blatant pen for handball against City. #obsession

This is such a cop out. Salah is driving into Morrison who has every right to make himself big and place hands on him. There is no prohibition on that in football.

What Morrison is NOT allowed to do is drag or pull Salah down. Which he didn't. Salah fell because he wanted to do. Because he's a cheat. And very good at it because Ref's NEVER treat him like they treat Raheem Sterling.

And non-Liverpool fans are sick of it.

Yeah Sterling just gets pens for kicking the ground with nobody around him.

Pretty sure you'll find that wasn't a Premier League official who gave that decision, buddy.

If it was anyone...anyone but Salah, you wouldn’t be carrying on about it. The blind hatred is clouding this.

Stop posting, you are a joke. You would not have complained a single bit if Cardiff earned the same penalty. Morrison had him in the the headlock and was wrestling him to the ground. It's a free kick in AFL let alone an English Premier League match. Get a grip.

Where was his outrage when his golden boy Harry Kane was guilty of a dive late in the Anfield match? The agenda is just so embarrassingly obvious.

So Champions League refs are awful? That's your point?

Say prem refs instead of refs.

I think we had this same discussion around Christmas.

So according to your synopsis you can hug a player and not allow him to move. After all you haven’t dragged or pulled him down....

 

[Hawkforce]

You Liverpool fans are hilarious. Show me what Morrison did that made Salah fall to the ground? Where did he pull him? Where did he drag him back? What was the kinetic force that caused Salah to fall the way he did?

You can't. Because it's blindingly obvious that Salah chose to go to ground. That is what makes it a dive. Whether or not it was a foul - there was nothing to make Salah fall the way he did.

He's diver and a cheat. And we all know it.

 

[Zidane98]

Wow, just wow. I can't believe your still going with this. Morrison had Salah in the headlock and wrestled him to the ground. Yet you are claiming a dive. Salah is literally the only player in the world that you would complain about getting a penalty in the circumstances he got one. Your agenda is blatantly obvious and you are embarrassing yourself. There's a reason why nobody is backing you on this. Get a grip.

This shouldn't really need explaining. I don't disagree that Salah likes a dive but it's 100% a pen.

 

[RossFC]

If the arms were across the waist there might be a case of saying it’s jostling so play on. But round the neck is a bit much.

Leaning on him, Salah holding him. Play on and dive. Ukraine awards a 9.5

Tell us more about he's leaning into him and how Salah has a hold of him




If Morrison wants to cuddle him for so long he should at least buy him dinner first

I'm sorry but Salah initiated all of that contact and is in that very shot holding Morrison as much as Morrison is holding him. If Salah was genuinely trying to "get past" he'd be doing the Selwood shrug NOT holding Morrison's arm forcing it high and simulating that he's being impeded. He was looking to drop at every moment in that contest and when he never got the tug of kick he was hoping for he just threw himself to the ground. Watch it in normal speed. It's clumsy by Morrison - it may even be a foul - but Salah threw himself to the ground. Again.

All of that matches everything I said. Of course still shots don't show how Salah backed into Morrison instigating the contact that led to Morrison using his arms - but it does clearly show Salah using his own arm to hold Morrison as much as Morrison is holding him.

And of course it doesn't show the main point - that Salah's "fall" was not caused by any force Morrison was exerting. He fell to trick the ref into giving the foul. And it worked. Again.

-Salah didn't initiate the hold, that's clear. Backing into someone doesn't justify getting held
-He did try to shrug it, something you said he didn't do
-Again Morrison didn't have to have his arms wrapped around him at any point

The stills don't back up what you are implied in the post above.

You're so focused on potting Salah you aren't questioning why Morrison needed to have both arms around him, and over his shoulder for so long. Take off your blinkers.

 

[Fwoy]

I set of Salah blinkers being well and truly used here...
