...not knowingly anyway.
Get a foreign ref to be a commentator. But in a second thought then Blatter and his gang will probably step in...
I've never had it before, but that article is full of thinly disguised bile.
" Before the match, fans highlighted Liverpool’s poor success rate for games officiated by Webb, although this has to be placed in the wider context of Liverpool’s general awfulness.
“Every piece of animal excrement placed on, in or near his house will be indicative of our trademark sense of humour.”
Guards will be posted outside the new Howard residence, situated opposite local pub The Kop & Grudge-Holder,"
Really?
The refs job is to see the offence not judge the technical merit of the fall. If he is doing the latter he is not doing his job. And in neither incident did Suarez dive. Plus the in the second one he was utterly clattered. Perhaps he should've have stayed on his feet and danced round the defenders to score with a tap in.
I find this whole "if Suarez wasn't a diver" stuff wholly disingenuous. The ref has fucked up. Big style. It wasn't his only mistake. Gerrard should have been booked for that tackle and that was a second yellow. Podolskis tackle on Flanagan was as clear a booking as you'll see too.
Did Oxlade chamberlain or Flanagan fall theatrically too? Or is it actually that Howard Webb is at best pretty fucking incompetent?
Your post acts as an apologist for Webb.
One last thing? When did Suarez last get a booking for diving or simulation?
I think it is just being very silly and using very obvious stereotypes that you aren't meant to take seriously. The Daily Mash is a bit more subtle than that I think. I actually think that there are Liverpool supporters involved in the Daily Mash. There have definitely been things they've done in the past that have suggested as much to me.
I know it was a pen and you know it was a pen. Suarez doing flips n shit ain't helping his cause though. I'm not saying Webb has an excuse just that Suarez doesn't help his case.
Howard's verdict: "Hard one to call. I was looking the other way when he started falling, then, when I DID look up to where the incident began he foolishly got in the way of my car. So: a silly grin and the 'no foul' hand sweep".
Howard's verdict: "Well, what can I say? One: this is Liverpool's worst-ever away strip. Two: disgraceful simulation, red card."
Howard's verdict: "No foul. He went down WAY too easily and I think it's pretty obvious that he knew exactly what he was doing. Yellow card."
Howard's verdict: "This Manchester lass, one minute from the end of full time, was blatantly upended by, er, someone or other. Stone wall penalty."
Nice work!
This.
Suarez didn't do a flip. He got clattered!

I'm glad you said that twice Spion cos I just cant get through to him.
I dunno about either of yous but if I got tackled i'd stay on the floor rather than flapping like a fish outta water
If either of yous think you could do that when you got tackled you're both fucking liars
Why are people saying that "Suarez didn't help his case" etc bollocks? It doesn't matter what he does AFTER the foul. He can do a triple somersault with pike, run back to the dressing room to check his text messages and come back wearing a tutu for all I care. The referee needs to base his decision on the incident itself. Not the effect of the incident.
Webb clearly didn't do that.

Because Suarez is the root of all evil. Come on, get with the programme!
So you're saying if a policeman twats you in the face for being near a protest and then you call him a cunt it's likely to work in your favour?
Of course that's not what I'm saying.
First off, the 2 scenarios are completely different and there's different protocols with both. But if Suarez had called Webb a cunt, he still should've gotten the penalty, but he also get carded for verbally abusing the referee. They would be classed as two different incidents. In any case, calling a cop a cunt, and exaggerating a foul are hardly comparable.
What? It doesn't matter if he's a cunt. It doesn't matter if Suarez was theatrical in the aftermath of the foul. What matters is, Webb should have based his decision on what caused Suarez to go down, ie the initial foul. This really isn't all that difficult to understand.
Yeah, it shouldn't. But evidently it does.
In the same way that keepers know the penalty takers and dive accordingly(and vice versa), Suarez should learn to know the refs and try to cut down what he does after a foul, as it doesn't seem to work.

In all fairness Gerry, on Sunday he didnt have much choice in what he did. He was absolutely battered from behind.
I know, but the point still stands. He had a good run there where he stopped the diving and didn't exaggerate as much, he needs to continue to regain his reputation and he'll get more decisions given his way.
