Penalty!!!

[Fabio]

gerrard dives too

 

[Hansern]

Oh yes, but he usually gets the calls on his favour.
Yesterday wasnt a dive either

 

[Wizardry]

Yep, the Gerrard one was a pen; he got the ball but not before he took the man out.


I thought the Suarez one was the right call tbh, though I have no doubt it was made for the wrong reasons. Looked a pen until you saw it in replay - remarkable tackle.

Tbh I've never seen those players dive. I think the main problem is that english refs just aren't used to seeing diving that often and so when they come across a serial cheat like Suarez they don't really know how to react.

Ha ha!

If the trend continues we might as well forget about penalties and just try staying on our feet in the area.

 

[Dreambeliever]

The Gerrard one was nowhere near a pen.

How can you call for it?

The one against Swansea was though but impossible to give.

How is that going to be possible ? - Duh !!!! We usually don't have enough players in that area where they can get a penalty - I am certain because Suarez is the only one trying to score for our team he gets knocked over a lot in the penalty area so refs are bound to think he is a diving cheating cunt (yes I know he partly is) but unfortunately thats the truth - we are not getting penalties because:-

1) not enough experience of doing a dive to fool the ref when required - acting is not great - Suarez is too Bollywood and needs to be more Hollywood.
2) not enough players actually try and score in our team - penalty box shyness
3) we just don't create the chances to get into the penalty box en-masse during normal play therefore there is NO decision for the ref to make to give a penalty.

Yes the above is bullshit and crazy to many of you but its the truth. Can you handle the truth ?

The Gerrard one was a definitely penalty. Especially considering when Tottenham scored from a free kick that was given for Dempsey being pushed over by a light breeze just minutes before.

The Suarez one, I'm not sure. When I first saw it looked like a great tackle.
