Impressive sportsmanship. Less than impressive refereeing. Incident was outside the box for a start. Still, this is up there with Di Canio against Everton I think it was, although Di Canio doing it in the pro game is even more impressive I guess.

Did Robbie Fowler do something like that or did he just let the ref know?

Fowler himself said this about that incident...

"I didn’t miss the penalty on purpose, it was just a bad penalty but they all are when you don’t score them. I remember it very, very well actually."

Why would kid dive like that? Probably got a message from some wiser, and way more honest, people to miss it on purpose.

Kudos, wiser, and way more honest, people.

Terrible mentality.
You think? Tbh, I can see why you would say that. I’d have been furious if Rashford did that against Paris because the pen was dodgy. That said, being honest should never be seen as a bad thing in life.

Seems completely pointless to dive then deliberately miss the penalty, it would be like stealing someone’s phone only to hand it in to the police.

It would suggest that he didn’t dive. Probably stumbled. Then there’s the fact that it was also outside the box.

News flash Liverpool fans steal people's phones! Phones you can get it's the cups that are the problem.

no elite mentality. will never amount to anything in this game.

you think Ronaldo isn't blasting that one in then running down to the corner flag for a "siiiiiii"+flex combo?

Yea but that would have been his plan from the beginning starting from when he would have intentionally dived for the penalty.

Not his responsibility to correct the referee's cock up, should have scored. I'd be fuming with the little prick.
