I'm still not sure how that wasn't a foul against Johnson when he cleared it off the line. The City player just jumped into him...
Turns out Suarez didn't dive... MOTD just slowed it down and show that he just caught his foot. Think the dramatic fall didn't help, but wasn't a dive. Well done ref
Clattenburg (one of the better refs imo) didn't give Suarez a penalty when Kompany shoved him both hands on his chest. That washes out the Skrtel handball.

Look, Suarez is a very talented footballer, no one will deny that but surely you want to see the lad get rid of that dirty diving side of his game? It's not his fault really, they have it drilled into them on the continent that they are supposed to dive.
It's this old grey area isn't it. There was contact, like with the Sakho incident but because both players flung themselves down the ref won't give the free/penalty but because he saw contact he can't book the players for diving. And because Suarez flung himself to ground under any contact all match he gets ignored when it is a penalty. But as we've said before when he stays on his feet the opposition appear to get to kick him with impunity. So what's he to do? Sturridge has been throwing himself down under contact a lot recently too. I don't like it but it appears to be necessary with todays refs....
Video evidence shows it wasn't a dive. In light of this concrete evidence only racists can continue to call Suarez a diver He has 5 yellow cards all season. He is a role model
