Wonder if any lurking dippers will be too embarrassed to come on here after that? Thought not

They’ve no shame what so ever, all claiming it was a blatant penalty. They’ve spent the last two years appreciating salahs antics so that one won’t bother them one bit.

It was both a dive and a penalty. A player should be reprimanded for diving like that even when there’s been contact.

I thought it was a soft penalty. There's contact certainly but mane makes the most of it. The frustrating thing about reading the previous comments, is it makes out it's just us or we are really bad for it. Most players go down under contact these days, sometimes they do a shit job at it and it looks theatrical. I'm not a fan of it to be honest but it's not just us and I have seen plenty of city players do it too. Let's try and not be so blinkered

Kavanagh is a very weak man after that today

Now, ask him about TAA’s stamp on Tieleman’s achilles (which isn’t mentioned after the match).

Klopp was furious with the reckless contact, which he believed should have resulted in a sending off instead of just a yellow card.

"It's just a challenge which I really don't understand," Klopp said.

"How he can do it, because the ball is far away. The player is full sprint to bring him down without the ball around, for me there is only one colour card.

"I see in your eyes that I am probably the only one who sees it like this.

"It is dangerous as hell. I don't want to cause the boy any problems but he has to calm down. He has to calm down."

Agree, I'm not sure why folk are saying no pen when they'd be going fuckin mental if that were waved away for us. But as you say shocking dive from Mane.

 

[hammocity]

No but yes. There was contact and that normally means a penalty these days. Mane’s dive which won him the penalty was probably one of the worst dives I’ve seen for a while.

Just contact should not equal a foul (penalty), it was clear play acting from that little fucker, he should have been booked. There was a touch of his boot from Albrighton who could have gone down himself (would have been ridiculous) and Mane then proceeded to launch himself on the deck exaggerating the knee break for extra effect. VAR had the chance to make a hero call but not a fucking chance. If that had happened anywhere other than Leicester’s box no one would have batted an eyelid when play carried on without anyone even considering a foul. It was one of the most harsh decisions you will see this season.

Mane is a great little player, but he dives a lot and rarely gets booked. He is also a dirty runt!
