If Salah was diving, Kane was bungee jumping
Haha haha 😂😂😂
jcg3 of course you are Wright
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher says it was the correct decision to award Mohamed Salah a penalty against Newcastle. ........ Gallagher believes it was the right call from official Graham Scott.
He told Sky Sports: “I thought it was a penalty - he [Dummett] caught him by the arm and there was enough there. At the speed people move, you do not need much… (to go over). His reaction is that he almost gives upon the decision, like ‘why have I done that?’
Gallagher proceeded to analyse the difference between Salah’s incident and that of Everton’s Oumar Niasse and West Ham’s Manuel Lanzini, with both having received retrospective bans for diving last season.
He added: “He [Niasse] is going forward and actually initiates the contact, whereas with the Dummett and Salah one, Dummett takes him from behind. Whereas Niasse sees the leg and then goes into it.”
“The referee is in the wrong position here - because he has a complete down the barrel view, he thinks Erik Pieters fouls him [Lanzini], but he takes his leg away.”
Looool😂😂
Where was this outrage against spurs and harry Kane, son (dive at arsenal) and dele alli when they dive? Further proof that spurs are the media darling.
no Spurs are the 2nd most criticized team in the league behind Manchester United.
@Marian M Very true...
it they should have both got suspended both clear dives
Aiden Cho that's bullshit and you know it.
Angry arsenal fan😂😂😂
I agree on the retrospective suspension if it would be a fairly applied. However, if that's the case with Salah, why not bother mentioning Son dive against Arsenal, Or Harry Kane dive against Liverpool last season? Where was all of this fuss then?
Most of Harry Kane's penalties taken last season that made him a contender for the golden boot were pure diving. I feel like Tottenham, especially Kane is treated differently because they are the darlings of the English national team. Look at Sterling, he is an English player yet the English media treats him poorly! Who tf criticizes a player for getting a house for his Mom! Biased media within.
He is talking about diving in general, the top 6 teams do not get reprimanded based on their actions
Welcome to brexit Britian.
@@NXDhero Read the title! The first thing I heard after clicking on the video is "this is absolutely double standards, because it's Mo Salah, because it's Liverpool". The last time Liverpool won a penalty at Anfield was more than a year ago. Salah scored ONE goal, only one goal out of 32 last season from a penalty. He was tackled against Bournemouth yet he marched on and scored a goal. Bunch of idiots are talking as if this happens every day, as if they are talking about the diving Spurs players.
@@islam7657 You are solely a jealous Liverpool fan if you are saying that "ALL' of Kane's penalties last season were dives in a bid to defend a clear dive Salah did. Neither was any penalty tackle on Kane an outrageous dive last season nor does it justify Salah diving at all. You are so biased and you are calling the media biased? Lol. Before you bark am a gooner and I know your hypocrisy.
@- - I never said that my Arsenal players didn't dive. I am not being hypocritical. Hypocrisy is you calling Salah falling 2 minutes after the contact was made with his back arching (no contact on the back was made) and on the other hand calling Lamela a diver for literally getting assaulted by Van Dijk's fat knee. Wow. Levels of hypocrisy are something else. Either both have contact and fell or both are divers. How can you turn everything in your convenience?
Its actually a double standard that they only talk about this when salah does it but when other players dive... 🤐
true
Because salah is a serial diver. Just as much as sterling and kane
Thank you. Unfortunately, racists can't understand that.
That is not true at all

Harry Kane dives all the time. No one talks about it
he's English, Salah is not, different Standards, also Salah is an Arab and a Muslim, not everyone likes that.
He needs to throw himself to ground on slightest contact, as he takes Spurs's penaltys and it helps to boost his goals ratio.
Fuck off he doesn't dive, he's not facing action so why the fuck are you complaining
What was the last game they dived in?
Exactly including his teammates Dele Alli, Eric lamela and son as well. They dived a lot
Yes he went down easily, I can pick 5 penalties last season we lost due to the same circumstances. If he doesn't go down the foul gets ignored! Salah normally does his best to stay standing. Liverpool hadn't got a penalty at home for over 18 months despite many calls for a penalty that should have been awarded as shown when they calculated for incorrect decisions last season and LFC jumped to second!!
It's media war against Salah and Liverpool Kane and Alli dives regularly and got penalties for no one mention them and attacked them becouse they English and media favourite spurs players too much its favourism Kane dived against Liverpool and got penalty no one investigate and no one slams and lamela in same match dived and acted like died don't forget also Son dived against arsenal and Got penalty were was the Media there Salah had his first soft and was pulled from arm all media debate and accused him for dive it's disgrace for media
Liverpool got a penalty vs arsenal at home lol
Harry and Ali dive more than anyone in EPL, but because they are from England we don't hear about their history, leave Salah alone.
G Jeff stop being a baby. Torreria and guendouzi were flopping around numerous times in matches.
@@Aaron-iv8hg not my buz leave salah alone!
You are fucking stupid, ARSENAL players dive the most. 3 bookings for simulation in 1 game, that's embarassing. And when was the last time Kane or alli dived?
What a dumb comment
Very true. In fact there was a clear contact what might pushed Salah a bit and just enough. I saw divings from the 2 mentioned where there was no contact at all and still penalty and no pundit talks about those cases.
If players like Salah got suspended for that, players like Neymar would only play once every few games
These Liverpool haters are crying tears about Salah's so called dive, when even referees on multiple programs said it was a clear foul !!
Umm, I guess Son and Dele Alli were trying to catch trouts when they fell down
I think if Shaka Hislop and Alejandro Moreno were better pundits, they'd remember the incident from 2 weeks ago when Salah got blatantly fouled by Cook, with studs raking across his achilles and he stayed on his feet. Salah isn't a diver and if these pundits watched more than a few clips and highlights, they'd know better.
Just because he didn't go down then doesn't mean in this case it wasn't a dive. He was literally through on goal... I would have stayed on my feet also
Eshwar Subramaniam bullshit. Salah dive and he was on his way to goal so why fucking dive. Smh. DIVE
they aren't talking about that incident...the issue is suspending some players for diving and not others...in THIS case, Salah did dive...no one is calling him a diver...all players dive from time to time...
Those are 2 independent incidents, because he didn't dive then doesn't mean he should dive now
Eshwar Subramaniam that was last match. In this match he did dive. Damn Liverpool fans cant accept the truth...
Calvert Lewin dived last season vs Liverpool and all we heard was that Lovren was naive in even making contact with him.. Now these Everton bellwhiffs are petitioning the FA to punish Salah over a game that didn't even involve them.
It wasn't a dive from salah and i'm not a liverpool fan
Bournemouth player fouled him couple weeks ago
And he stayed on his feet and scored so piss off
Well said buddy well said.
That’s like saying that once u didn’t commit a crime so it shouldn’t matter that u just did
Excellent point👏🏻🤛🏻, I hit to see this ass holes making 💰 programs out of trend player like Salah, deceiving poor audience, why they didn’t mention his assist and the penalty Mohamed Salah giveaway to Roperto so he can get his hatrik What fucking douch bags😠
Daniel Kiersnowski yesterday against Leicester stayed on his feet every time
Why is this a convo when it’s regarding Liverpool? What happened to all spurs dives, United dives, Chelsea dives. Hazard, kane, alli, young, martial all have dived. Criticised but no talk of a ban then? They got to stop Liverpool somehow.
1Leggo9my9Eggo2 Exactly that’s what I find so strange. There’s been so many dives from other teams but it only becomes a topic with salah. Son dived at the emirates not so long ago and it wasn’t even mentioned. Madness
Because their darlings are Chelsea, Spurs, and City. Liverpool, United, and Arsenal get nothing but hate and bashing from the media. Pogba, Salah, Firmino, Lingard, Ozil, Lacazette, any time they get a chance to hate they will.
Victims playing victim again. Liverpool fans are the worst.
1Leggo9my9Eggo2 don’t you talk shit!! Every pundit from every station talks about diving at least once a month!! Mo dived simple as that. As for stopping Liverpool. They’ll stop themselves as they’ll crack like last time
The Saudis have spoken. The media obey. Money talks.
Love Ian he is the best commentator and see's the truth! Mo has been taken down a lot and still carried on!!!. YNWA
He is the worst of them all. FA SKY write for this clown
salah now player two care🙏
You. Love him when he's defending Liverpool or a pool player. I would read different the day he speaks down on anything associated with pool
Nothing to do with this incident those
@@jeffrejr1 It's an example that the media doesn't say anything when Salah stays on his feet. But when he kinda overreacts on a clear contacted penalty, the media is full of rage against him smh...
This is bullshit.. yes is a harsh penalty but as a premier league defender he should know better not to grab a player like that.. yes he took it over the top but it would be a clear foul.
Clearly it was a pen.
Even the defender who fouled Salah didn't appeal.
Thank u ur making sense
What would him appealing change.
@@Allthingsorganic Because the defender had a clear sight and can tell whether it was a fucking dive or not and will be believed by everyone if he makes the claim. Use ur fucking brain.
remember how in Napoli game Salah was in the box against Ospina then Albyol catches him and Salah should'v gone down for the pen but he didn''t, then the game continued like nothing happened and no Decisions were made, and every referee on any post match analyze were saying that it was a Pen and he should'v gone down for it and only because he didn't he gave the Ref no chance (every Liverpool fan knows that could'v cost us) that's not double standers its just learning from mistakes, argue as much as you want. still the best thing i like about Salah he leaves his talk on the pitch and dosen't gave his views on media.
Agreed. Never understand how refs are quite eager to pull back play for a FK if there is no advantage but never do in the box. It's too easy to criticise players for going down with minimal contact but it's the referees who have created this environment in which football currently finds itself. I doubt half of them have played the game.
@@darrencarter6350 never understood that as well, spot on mate
If that was Kane all these pundits and referees would not be commenting.. racism is real!
If someone is caught diving to get a penalty, they should give the penalty to the other team. That'll soon stop it.
Ian Darke is spot on here, I cannot deny he went down easy but look back to a couple weeks ago when Salah had his heel literally hacked at in the box (you can see it in his face after he scored and the look back with rage on his face) but he kept going... Would the ref pull it back for a pen if he did not score?? He definitely would not have... Because he stayed on his feet.
That pull back on the arm would be a foul anywhere else on the pitch if the ref saw it in the same position, so why do we scream about it now because it was a penalty. Some players I agree dive like it's second nature, but it's a problem with the game that needs to be addressed, and hopefully with VAR coming in next season that it will, that players feel that they need to go down for a penalty to be given.
Well articulated point. It was soft but was foul. So talking about diving here is absolutely crazy. Was he tugged? Yes. Was it in the penalty box? Yes. Is it legitimate to pull a player ahead of you? No, that is even a yellow card any given day. So what are all of these pathetic pundits want from Salah?. Jealousy at its best.
@@mustafaahmed2017 a tug? That's a pat on the shoulder. Is salah under nourished?
@@hackle511 no, he actually pulled him.. not pat him on shoulder, pulled him
Salah always on his feet , just look at his goals none from penalties !
And let’s not forget he was touched and pulled from his shoulder, end of story.
Salah is a player how don't go down that often but he was clearly was FOULED in the box and went down why should he suspended ???!
Cause he dove. You dont actually think that was a deserved penalty kick do you? I mean if your a liverpool fan I get it but that was insanely obvious
@@Dhaiziheee I'm a Liverpool fan . Foul? Yes. Soft penalty ? Yes.
Did other team dive/dove? Yes.
I remembered years ago we have every penalty and foul denied so maybe it's karma working here.
@@Dhaiziheee actually I'm a MU fan and Salah is not going all the way like Nymar Jr Jr doing he was clearly fouled and went down and it's soft penlty but foul any way.but because the football fan expect the high moral standard from this one player people are not having it for going down for a soft foul in the box.that is that
@@Dhaiziheee *_A penalty kick is awarded if a player commits a free kick offense inside their penalty area_* this was a foul so therefore (as he was in the box) it is a penalty
It's what they call a "soft" penalty. Oh wait, didn't Sam Alardyce say there was no such thing when his Everton got one vs Liverpool last season?! 😂
Conversation isn't about soft pens. Is about action taken afterwards in case of a dive. If Niasse was punished for a similar incident, surely that's wrong. They should stick with actual dives where there's no contact at all
@@gamechanger7545 What about Calvin Lewin last season though? That's my point. Liverpool dominated Everton at Anfield, the referee chose to somehow see a penalty late in the game for a clear dive by DCL. He wasn't retrospectively punished though, nor did we ask for it. I hate diving, hate it...but it'll keep on happening until VR is used on it one day. And the problem with this one is, there was contact between Dummet's hand and Salah's shoulder, it was minimal absolutely (hence my sarcasm) but contact means no retrospective action- simples!
@@CamEraFitnessChannel I thought this was fresh ... Didn't hear anything similar last year ...
@@gamechanger7545 Nearly every week it's happening. They're all diving. I've heard players in post match interviews saying things like 'i felt a touch so I went down.' That's diving. The foreign players were blamed for years and rightly so but the English players are carrying diving now. Vardy, Kane, Sturridge, Sterling, Alli, the Leicester attacking midfielder who was sent off a month ago for it, then had the cheek to say after he scored a game or two later that the goal might shut the critics up...no you cheated you twat, accept your punishment and the criticism for a while and stop acting like a baby lol. Can't remember his name but he's clearly a ponce! Calvin Lewin's last year was an absolute joke, but like Dummet the other day, Lovren touched him which then puts it in the referee's hands and as we all know, most of them are as skillful as a golfer with no arms 😂
@@CamEraFitnessChannel Seems a bit excessive. I don't think the issue is this big. Anyways the only dive I'm interested in is the one City is currently on and I hope Spurs pair them up
He.Was.Fouled.In.The.Box.
The game before this, against utd, commentators complained that Salah should have gone down to get a pen but didn’t
suspended for what??? it is a foul and yes he go down that easy, but he don't plan that, he get faul from behind, and that is crucial
Its not unconscious Bias . Its conscious BIas\ cheating.
it was the same in 2018 world cup when brazil won't not awarded the video replay ref. {VAR}
Why has this incident kicked up a media frenzy? Other big teams get similar decisions, difference being there's no outage that ensues after
Salah has been fouled in the box 3 times in the last few games 1st to stayed on feet and scored 2nd stayed on feet didn't score and no pen given 3rd went down got pen
The media love Liverpool and Spurs the most in england
Kian Francis If they loved Liverpool why would they even bring this topic up? I’ve never seen them call out spurs or city for diving. So why now? Son dived at arsenal a few weeks ago it was not brought up. That’s just proof that the media are in love with spurs
@@eldio2124 The media love Spurs more than anyone, still the media are ridiculously bigging up liverpool to ridiculous measures this season. Liverpool fans as well would be giving Neymar death threats if he went down like salah did the other day. Some pundit actually said that van dijk was the best player in the world, they're ridiculously over-hyped by the media
@@kian9783 Van Dijk now is the best in Europe, conceded 7 goals in 19 games who's currently better than him?
@@angelineg7065 He has an argument for best defender no question but a pundit said that he's the best PLAYER not just defender in the world
Look from the back
You will see the defenders leg touching him
Whoa whoa whoa! Ian Darke, what the hell with the down talking about Cornwall!
Well... why am I not surprised? These are the same people who said the Calvert Lewin, Kane and Lamela incidents against Liverpool last season were "100% penalties." Even after Kane confessed on live tv: "I felt a contact so I was sure as hell not going to stay up" !!!
I don't think any of those should be given, including the Salah one. But based on past evidence it was "100% a penalty" on Salah.
What Ronaldo didn’t ever dive while playing in the PL? Kane last year FFS? Lamela? Sterling? Aguero? There was contact. He went down. It was very soft but why is this being debated? Let’s not hammer one of the most honest players in the PL.
Ian is the calming voice at the end of the mayhem love the balance the angry Scottish guy is my absolute favourite though looool
a dive ? no, he was clearly held for 1-2 seconds on the shoulder.
a penalty ? nope, not enough contact to give a penalty.
You somehow got both of those points wrong.
Any honest football fan who has watched Salah (since his Basel days in my case) knows he always tries to fight through fouls and plays on. With the amount of contact he draws he could be flopping like Neymar consistently and trying to trick refs to give PKs. He doesn't.The double-standard debate could've been had well before this incident with Salah.
Salah is not diving, he just over reacting LOL
I’m a Liverpool fan and yes he went down easily but the bottom line is he was fouled. So why would u suspended him? He got tugged on his BAD shoulder and went down. No one knows how it felt but mo
Salah but everyone should know that it was a foul
Well stated!!
That tug is a part of the game , it was a disgraceful dive.
Crocc look closer at the “foul” I don’t think dummet even pulled him salah felt his hand on his shoulder and flung his arm back and arched his back to make it look like he was fouled. Clear cut dive imo
Crocc
I’m a Liverpool fan as well but how is that a foul? Calling situations like that one a foul is what makes the sport weak and less exciting to watch. Nowadays if a player is even touched by a speck of dust in the box people say it’s a pen.
Yeah I don't agree with Shaka but this time I do
Salah had shoulder injury recently and just recovered. Well anyone would be conscious if someone pulls their shoulder again. I think Salah thought better not to fight and apply much pressure . Last time with Ramos it was not even given foul..
What about last year guys ? Did Liverpool get most of the decision in their favour?
@/S_/H_/U_/K_/R_/A_/Y_/E / u idiot they are taking about double standards!! So that's what I'm asking !!
@Pappy Tron psg tho
There is a massive feeling that the darling of British football Harry Kane "wins a penalty through his cleverness" but when a foriegn star does it, it's "dive, get him out".
These pundits do not realise the difference between a "foul and bringing it to the Refs attention" and clear non-contact dives. They are different situations. This is modern football.
Gary Neville would say : LOOK AT THE REACTION OF THE PLAYER. So look at the defenders reaction, he looked sheepish, did not contest it one bit, and knew exactly what he was doing. Look it up, play the reel back, look at the defenders reaction.
Yes indeed Mr Ian D. !!! They always pull Salah, You can't keep on taping his arm and body when one needs the arm to balance himself... He has the right to go down sometimes...They need to choose the pwnalty or the curve ball in the corner....#YNWA
If anyone wants to know more abt Diving.. Best to consult Jurgen Klinsmann... Pires... Ashley Young, CR7 N Nani during their time at United.. Ruud Van Nistelroy... Robben.. They make a meal out of every contact in the Box or near the box..
Gee...
If contact is made on a player don't blame a player if he goes down. It's the players who do not get the contact who throw themselves to the floor are the ones who should be shown red
I thought no one in the premier league dived? How times have changed
Although I am a Liverpool fan I don’t think that should of been a foul, calling fouls on such light contact situations is what make the sport weak as hell and less exciting to watch.
Liverpool fan in disguise. That was foul and yellow card in any given day. Stop crying you are not fan of Liverpool.
But Salah's game is based on speed. That soft pull on his shoulder although soft, but it really could have affected his 100% full momentum.
Mustafa Ahmed
Lmao I am a Liverpool fan, it’s not like we needed that pen to win the game anyway.... My point still stands, that shouldn’t have been a foul, he barely touched mo, and like I said before calling things like that fouls shows how weak the game is now
Also it’s hilarious that u think that challenge deserved a card.
M kai
That’s understandable but it’s still something really weak to call a foul over
Of course it's a double standard. The FA are scared to charge players from the so-called big clubs. How does a hand on the shoulder result in the complete halt of forward motion and the complete collapse of the legs? It does not. If the player collapses their own legs, or simply refuses to move their legs, that is a dive.
When the FA failed to charge Salah for the dive against Newcastle, they opened the door for him to do the very same against Arsenal, which he did. I will be surprised if the same does not happen against Man City.
Sterling won 4 penalties from diving last year. Suarez in LaLiga clearly dived the game before Real Madrid last year and won a penalty. Didn't get banned. So many times in the premier league have since this rule came in have they ignored man city players diving and spurs players diving.
Salah had 2 defenders on him. He got pass one, on his way in a promising position, he was pulled back
losing the position. He decided to go down bc he lose more by the foul of the defender.
How can that be a dive....
So when Kane dived twice in same match last season against Liverpool, where was the double standard back then
Harry Kane and Eric Lamela both were awarded penalties in the game at Anfield last season. Both were the results of diving. Nobody said a word.
It was not a dive
All these people mentioning Kane or whoever diving just to justify Salah diving are you serious right now ? Two wrongs don't make a right and no matter who you support diving is wrong .
just because salah hasnt gone down before doesnt mean its ok to do so now a dive is a dive even if previously he hasnt got a decision
What's the big fuss? He was still pulled
In which rule of football it's given that a defender can pull back an attacker without it being a foul
Salah does dive, of course he does, but the problem is two fold
1) He plays for Liverpool which allows him to get a lot more leeway. Plus, the rule is 'any contact' - load of nonsense
2) English players dive all the time and it's brushed under the carpet (Kane, Alli etc, Owen, Gerrard used to do it)
If there's going to be no action taken it clearly wasn't a dive. The Referee would've booked Salah if it was a dive. Simple really...
It’s not a dive it’s a foul
What about Harry Kane's diving, no repercussions for Englands golden boy?
Sorry guys but Harry Kane did a clear dive in their game against liverpool last season 2-2 and they got draw for tottinham. And another doubted penalty that gave them the draw.. but no one commented on that dive at the moment!!! Now u r making a debate for Salah's penalty??!!! This is really weird !!
At the speed he was running, and the angel his body had at the moment, any slight touch would make him lose balance easily and fall “ actually in any form of a fall , that you will call a theatrical fall”. You guys are dumb for thinking that , grabbing his arm while running will not make him lose balance!
Just because you're a Liverpool fan it doesn't mean you have to be blind, I'm glad Salah gets to play against Arsenal & City, but he shouldn't be going down with minimal contact.
Bournemouth defender kicked at Salah's leg but he stayed upright and continued and scored a goal.
There was contact. You can’t ban players if there’s contact because even though he went down easily, it still isn’t scientifically conclusive
Hislop was proved right with today's full. Truly horrendous decision.
Had Salah was John Smith... no one would even talk about it
So everyone is bias towards Liverpool? So why then was the penalty against Newcastle the first Penalty Liverpool have had at Anfield in OVER A YEAR? Oh and Stevie Nichol is a fool too.
If Salah's wasn't a dive then how was Deulofeu's against Chelsea???
Why Steve Cook wasn't shown the red when he tackled Salah from behind?
Cos Salah didn't go down that's why.
he had to go down to get the pen and contact was enough for him to go down
Ian Darke right here summed up all that I have to say in defense for Mo Salah.
so was it not a penalty?? you mean to tell me that you can just drag someone sideways, keeping them from the ball in the box and there should be no penalty for that??
400 days later 1 pen goes our way and hysteria brakes out wtf man.
I’ve seen Bosingwa kick Benayoun- RUclips it- literally kick him out of the pitch. And FA took no action- they even reviewed it. And you guys want Salah suspended- for a soft penalty. Cry me a river.
long story short, it should never have been given as a penalty and this is why VAR is important
The thing is diving when untouched isn't a massive problem I feel. Diving when fouled though is RAMPANT, and happens every single game. I think they should give retroactive suspensions and fines for diving when fouled and the game would be cleaned up in a week. Unfortunately it will never happen because many think it's awesome and players are "clever" for giving their team an advantage. It's really disgusting.
diving when fouled??😂😂😂 someone's drunk
@@bobvanilla7903 well we know where you stand. The "clever" player side of things. You realize Salah was fouled here right? How do you enjoy watching players flop around like little bitches? It's so sad for professional athletes.
I think salah doesn't want a ramos to happen again..he is has become clever in protecting himself from injuries..salah is not a conscious diver but he is avoiding being stupidly courageous..and there is nothing wrong in that .period
the irony of this is crazy because there's so many guys that dive constantly like hazard and kane and never get called out for it but salah does it once and all of a sudden he's satan now that's a double standard.
For me as a coach if foul a player that unbalanced a opponent in penalty area then it’s a penalty.
Hundreds of players dive oftentimes but Salah dived once and that makes him a culprit.
But where’s the dive , contact in the box = a penalty, he was pulled back in the box , that’s the end of it , you can’t be banned for getting fouled , a dive in football terms is stimulating contact when
I was expecting this guys with "double-standard" conspiracy to talk about harry kane when he dived yesterday against wolves. I agree with Ian, that there was contact - pulled back by the shoulder by the defender. Salah did continue with the play when he was fouled and this time he learnt the trade to turn the opportunity into a goal. Aganist Napoli and Burnely, he was clearly fouled but played on, for Napoli could have a penalty and 2-0 lead, and Burnely could have a free kick with a booking (yellow/red). Now that he had been pulled back, it id definitely a foul. Call it soft but it is a foul.
Chelsea must be a small team because they get penalized when they dive and when they don't! It's ridiculous and VAR is badly needed.
No one talks about Kane son and Alli. If anyone calls out sterling for repeatedly cheating they get called racist.
Shaka Hislop is still mad about the 2006 FA cup final. Keep hating on Liverpool
Mo salah score 15 goal and 8 assist
Sadio mane score 15 goal and 8 assist
Why you criticise salah and talk up mane and they are the same in the season
Salah 86 goals in 2.5 seasons
Mane 76 goals in 3.5 seasons
Shame on you
if he didn't fall the referee would ignore the shoulder pull that happened which was enough for a penalty by itself.
There was contact so the discussion of any diving is nonsense.
At 2:34 the Crystal clear opinion, it's a foul inside the square, at the same time Mo salah decided to fall down. But still it was a 100% penalty , next time don't try to stop him by grabbing his left shoulder . try the right one
It's only Steve Nicol that knows what he's talking about.
Bro, Ramos broke the mans shoulder, ruined the CL final for him and almost ruined the WC. Ramos didn't get a day of suspension. Now people are arguing that he should get suspended cause he dived. EVERYONE dives, its part of soccer.
I agree that it is biased and not only for liverpool but the top 6 clubs who have huge power and fanbase
Double standard ? Liverpool hasn't had a penalty at Anfield since more than a year ago
He went down easily if he played the Messi way then he would have kept going even if he shot it into the defender while stumbling to keep his balance. They could then have decided it was a penalty anyway although probably not. But think of how many penalties Messi never got because of that level of dignity in his play. To me they’re better than penalty goals, especially the couple that went in.
So heated. Better separate everyone before it gets out of control.
The ref gave the decision! No one put a gun to his head to make the decision. It's purely down to the refs to wise up and give a yellow during the game or let play go on, or give the penalty if he feels the penalty is warrented. Remember as lot of tackles etc..in the game are subjective but that what makes it a beautiful game
So we are not going to act like they were complaining bout neymar and cos play acting when they were actually kicked but strong salah failing over after being touched is a foul it's a general hypocrisy in general in football with dives take Ronaldo for example one of the worst divers ever and is responsible for this diving mainstreaming but doesn't get any of the hate neymar or even robben get for the same thing but hey this is an individual view of people promblem your got to develop a neutral. Mind to stop things like this happening or they countinue and the promblem is when it comes to sports or country related things you already have a biased without relizing
It do show double standard, against Salah of course. Kane dive few times, and not even a shit was talked about it.
