Proper dive. I mean since when did that kind of kick makes you dive with your arms flailing like that

Also we can’t applaud Lamela at OT and then moan about Salah’s theatricals.

I hope nobody applauded Lamela. I love his shithousery but going to the ground was pathetic. He didn’t need to do that to get Martial booked.

I was not here for the game thread that match so I’m not sure what the majority were saying but I’m sure some of our fans loved it.

Salah is one of the most odious on-field players in recent memory but seems to get a pass for it. Of all Liverpool’s players he dives the most and has anger issues.

Difference there being the ref sent off Martial for what he did to Erik rather than because of Erik's reaction.

How do you know for sure it was nothing to do with Lamela’s reaction? Doesn’t matter anyway. Both players are guilty of making an absolute meal
of a situation in order to gain an advantage.

Lamela was out of order. Two wrongs dont make a right though so Salah should have been sent off with a 9 match ban. I'm not unreasonable.

You can tell by the refs reaction, he saw what he did and approached him immediately and gave the red card, he's not gonna see Lamela go to the floor and make an assumption is he?

The majority revelled in it. I didn’t like it, but there’s a certain degree of “if you can’t beat them join them” in it.

I agree Salah is a diver. Same with Mane. The double standards does make me laugh though and people will jump through hoops to justify it.

If that pen decision isn't a clear and obvious mistake then what is?

but there was contact - however soft - so there’s no way VAR is going to overturn.

the more pertinent question is what would VARhave done if the ref hadn’t been so desperate to award the pen...
