There have been far softer penalties awarded than that.

Where is the line where a player milks it too much for it to become a dive?

You just witnessed it.

The referee decided it was a foul

The VAR then decided where the foul happened

The first thing is subjective and so would need to be clear and obvious to be overturned. The second isn't, the foul took place where it took place. It's a decision of fact. The same as deciding offside or whether the ball is out of play, other types of decision where Clear and Obvious doesn't apply.

But if the ref has decided it’s not in the area, which he did by giving a free kick, doesn’t the VAR decision have to still be clear and obvious that it definitely was in the area, which I don’t think it was clear from the angle we saw? Don’t get me wrong I’m delighted, but if that was against us I’d be sick!

Fletcher moaning about the number of injuries Littlewoods have.

Cry me a fucking river!

Shame they didn't spend half a billion to help themselves.

 

[Tracking back]

Slot hasn’t got a clue what to do

Klipperty’s team last season

 

[oldhamblue]

Jürgen Slot will be getting his excuses ready

 

[Alexia_Ko]

We “hit a slump” and “never recovered”? We ended up third and three points behind Arsenal

Our club’s greatest goal was scored after a certain stud of a striker was clearly fouled and he powered through it. That’s what real, honest humans do.

Put another way, do you think that gets whistled as a foul if the attacker doesn’t make a meal of it? I don’t.

Probably not, but that doesn't factor into my decision on whether it's a foul or not, I think that's just a referee problem, they are shite and too easily influenced by player reactions. Remember Foden getting clearly fouled but not going down v Wolves? We were absolutely stewing about that decision - and rightly so.

Players exaggerate contact so referees don't fuck them over, but that doesn't mean it's not a foul.

You just witnessed it.

I thought it was a foul with an embellished fall.

 

[johnny crossan]

Put everything you own on a Wirtz double and assist.

Guarantee he'll turn into prime Lother Matthaus at our place.

 

[deano ou812]

But we were told after the Frankfurt game that this was the Liverpool of last season and they are back

Most times if players try and stay on their feet when fouled they almost never get an obvious penalty

 

[YaYa's Left Peg]

Fucking BT making excuses for the twats

[BringBackSwales]

How many fucking times has fletch mentioned dippers injuries? Fucking **** has never mentioned ours

 

[discopop]

We “hit a slump” and “never recovered”? We ended up third and three points behind Arsenal

And while I hate calendar year stats guess which team leads the way for 2025?

 

[Micky Blue]

Slot hasn’t got a clue what to do

He’s not a good manager.
If I remember rightly he was their 4th choice or something.

He got lucky last season, now he’s spent the rest of their coutinho money on players which don’t look up to it.

With a bit of luck this will set them back years.

Dippers playing like they've just won 4 titles in a row, not 1
