Diving / cheating happens every week. The analysts ignore it mostly. Its a total joke.
Funny how neither penalties were dives last night though and the refs got it spot on both times. Yes they might have both made the most of it but how many times have we seen players clipped in the box, stayed on their feet and the pen not been given? When the ref (especially the linesman's balls to overule for the 2nd pen) get very difficult decisions spot on like they did, they really should get more credit. Just as much as Klopp should be fined for his out of order comments about the refs after the game having not seen or just misjudged the calls himself.
just looked on the bbc website, he felt contact and went down, so now if someone touches you , you go down. (might have a word with the wife - I digress) I suppose alli felt contact as well. Typical premier league shite that filters down all divisions.Quote:

My point was he did make the fall look a little exaggerated but sometimes you seemingly need to do that these days due to inconsistent refereeing.Quote:

It does make me laugh that every pundit and commentator last night agreed both were fair penalties and certainly not dives, yet people on social media and forums are adamant they know better :hehe:
not every pundit - joey Barton called them wrong, an Evertonian lol
Joey Barton just likes to be controversial and different to every one else though to make a name for himself, never seen the man agree with anyone else when he's on TV :hehe:Quote:

You really must appreciate that everything is simply not black & white.Quote:

Probably because one of their laws had been questioned by many who do have a credible opinion.
However your judgement of the opinions of others is rather blinkered in the context of the 1st penalty yesterday.
Had the referee not given the penalty, you can be sure that the FA would have backed him.
Really?Quote:
