Who's lauded him for it?Don’t know why people seem to think he’s likeable. Dives every game. Ronaldo gets pelted for it and this guy gets lauded for it.

You don't mind him throwing his arms up in the air & collapsing then? - .That is an unnecessary brain dead moment by the defender and it was definitely a penalty .
There's contact and then he massively exaggerates said contact and flings himself to the ground.Watched it now. Clear pen. People are going full Rawkish here tbh just because it's for Liverpool. Not every pen for them are a dive guys.
Well there is a bit of theatricality from Sarah side but the defender was super dumb for wrapping his arms all over him . He was going nowhere still the defender decided to go all 300 on him in the box .You don't mind him throwing his arms up in the air & collapsing then? - .
I tend to reluctantly agree now, but it's very annoying.
He has dived previously and I said it here but not every pen he gets is a dive and this is as clear pen as it may get. If that was for United and it wasn't called a pen I'll be swearing at the ref. This is football not WWE for the defender to hold him like that.There's contact and then he massively exaggerates said contact and flings himself to the ground.
It's not rawkish to say that, he's a diver. Even Liverpool fans I know admit it's a dive but just think it's also a penalty.
The defender is being stupid, but Salah blatantly throws himself back and exaggerates the contact.He has dived previously and I said it here but not every pen he gets is a dive and this is as clear pen as it may get.

Why? Diving is one of the worst things in the game, I hate it. I despise when our own plays did it in the past and Salah has done it numerous times this season and it's really not on.I love the faux outrage at diving Salah, the fact is every team has the players that do it. Even in this example it was a pen, he could have done 3 tumbles with a pike finish, it would have still been a penalty.
He'll be stupid to not fall to the ground when a contact is made and he deserves a pen for a defender holding him that way. Stay on his feet and I doubt the ref would have even noticed it. No diving here. He's right to do so as long as the contact was present and he deserves the pen. This is what players should do in such situations all honestly.The defender is being stupid, but Salah blatantly throws himself back and exaggerates the contact.
The ref should give a penalty .. but Salah is trying to buy it. The way he goes down isn't natural.
The VAR would have given him the pen. I don't know what's your problem.Why? Diving is one of the worst things in the game, I hate it. I despise when our own plays did it in the past and Salah has done it numerous times this season and it's really not on.
Just because Salah feels contact doesn't mean he has the right to do a backwards dive to try and buy a penalty. Players should play on until they're brought down and rely on the referees to get the decisions right.
VAR should help sort this shit out a lot.
It's part of the game, always has and always will be. I don't particularly like it either I just don't comment on any of it simply because as you say we have a player or 2 that loves a dive. There was contact, Salah went down, it would be very hard to discipline a player for "overacting", and don't think it would ever happen, as long as there was legitimate contact.Why?

I thought that about the VAR too. It was what changed my embittered mind mainly, tbh.The VAR would have given him the pen. I don't know what's your problem.
He dived several times. I don't like that part of him and mentioned it here. I haven't been a big fan of him recently for some non football reasons too. Don't see he dived today though.I thought that about the VAR too. It was what changed my embittered mind mainly, tbh.
And he IS a cheat, plain & simple.
I'd say that you'd be in a very small minority of supporters who wouldn't want one of their players to do exactly the same if they were in the same situation. I'm not defending Salah when he tries to con the ref by diving when he's not been touched. That is blatant cheating. But the real cheat today was the Cardiff defender who tried to gain an advantage by holding our man. Mo Salah simply made sure the ref made the right decision.The defender is being stupid, but Salah blatantly throws himself back and exaggerates the contact.

The fact that he throws himself backwards deliberately?The VAR would have given him the pen. I don't know what's your problem.
We have a player or 2 and I've complained then, hopefully we never see that shit again. Alli hasn't done it in ages and I'm happy about that.It's part of the game, always has and always will be.

I'm always criticising him for diving but you guys are taking it over the top, ffs!He's on the TIME magazine's cover and included in the list of top 100 most influencing people in the world! my goodness!
Makes me think if Rivaldo played now he might be presidentI'm always criticising him for diving but you guys are taking it over the top, ffs!
Because the referee wouldn't have given the penalty if he didn't. It's a blatant pen, the defender has no clue where the ball is but he's got his arms around Salah deliberately obstructing him.The fact that he throws himself backwards deliberately?
I replied on that. He would be stupid to be fouled and not let the ref now. What do you think it's, Utopia ? Player will have a clear pen and stay on his feet ? That will be a stupid player, not an honest one.The fact that he throws himself backwards deliberately?
Lots of players feel contact and don't throw themselves theatrically to the floor, all the fecking time.I replied on that. He would be stupid to be fouled and not let the ref now.

They're idiots, plain and simple.Lots of players feel contact and don't throw themselves theatrically to the floor, all the fecking time.
Salah does it in this stupid, obvious way that makes him stand out from the rest. There's nothing natural about the way he goes down like he's overacting in a Shakespeare play.
Are you saying he should study Ali and Kane to see how to dive properly?Lots of players feel contact and don't throw themselves theatrically to the floor, all the fecking time.

Yup.When are refs going to start actually whistling for these without players going down?
It annoys me how oblivious they seem to be in contributing to diving in the modern game.
Salah was fouled and did the right thing in going down to show the ref he was fouled. It's ridiculous that you have to do that to get the foul though.
I have been saying that for years too. Refs have a crazy fascination for seeing a hard fall.Yup.
I've been saying this for years.
The current practice incentivises diving, and yet we're annoyed when players dive. It makes no sense.
Well, ain't this cute. I hope you are not referring to this as something your lot doesn't do anymore?Why? Diving is one of the worst things in the game, I hate it. I despise when our own plays did it in the past and Salah has done it numerous times this season and it's really not on.

Of course we still do it .. pretty infrequently but it does happen.Well, ain't this cute. I hope you are not referring to this as something your lot doesn't do anymore?
