Short note to Mo Salah

[Lawnmower]

He went down very very easily, unfortunately it was a stonewall penalty though - Morrison had his arms all over Salah. It was stupid from Morrison as Salah wasn’t going anywhere in that position.

Penalty at very single corner then.
Peltier all over Van Dyke at one in the first half.

Don’t see free kicks given for similar on other areas of the pitch.

You do when the offender has BOTH arms wrapped around the player being fouled for 4/5 seconds. One quick nibble you can get away with, two or three and you’re asking for trouble.

Yeah it was stupid defending, did he blow for that or the exaggerated fall? Guess we will never know.

I agree - Morrison made it possible for the ref to give the penalty.

BUT he had let go and was pulling his arms away when Salah decided to do his dying swan dive.

I would have no problem with the decision if we had also got 10-12 penalties ourselves this season for similar (or worse) manhandling by opposition defenders - often on Mozzer.

Yes. There's going to be a lot of penalties next year. But hopefully not as many for diving.
