Match Day Thread Crystal Palace V Liverpool

The good period at Newcastle was strange. Carr (scout) got a lot of praise too but he's been lambasted since.

 

Their very best season was right after he arrived

 

a bit like his time ay Palace. started well and now got found out

 

Not as much a gift as your one yeaterday. It was inside the box and benteke was fouled - you didn't see his knee contact Benteke's foot?

 

In short: it was a penalty but you shouldn't have given it against us in the last seconds at home when it's just the word of the (correct) linesman.

 

Is he supposed to stand up just because he can? Is he after some Boy Scout badge or something?

 

Very lucky. Can't say I'm pleased with Benteke's dishonesty. But I'll happily take the 3 points

 

Firstly I didn't criticise Benteskey. Nor did I moan, I simply said it wasn't a penalty. However...

My understanding of a foul was another player physically preventing you from doing what you wanted to do. That didn't happen to Benteke.

Did he dive? No, he exaggerated contact.
Is it cheating? IMO yes!
Do other players do it? Yes!
Should our players do it if others are doing it? Absolutely!
Should all players be punished for such acts? Definitely but that's for FIFA, UEFA and the FA to sort.

 

LOL watching the Pardew interview after the match. Quality!

 

Hope someone helped him to pick that massively heavy dummy up lol

 

Note that they didn't show Moreno hitting the post in the closing credits there.

 

I didn't do too badly mate!

Even if somewhat fortuitous.

 

And Poll says it was a 'brilliant' decision too.

Mind you, Stan hasn't seen it but reckons Benteke should be banned for five games for cheating, so that evens that one out.

 

Mike Parry, bitter blueshite and talksport presenter, claimed it was the worst act of simulation in the history of football, there was no contact and called for a life ban.

 

These people are like enraged and impotent Death Eaters now that Fergiemort has gone.

 

We played better without James Milner? certainly our performance with 10 men deserved at least a point.

Really pleased that we won though, especially for Klopp after that interview about Palace

 

Can has mixed opinions

He celebrating, but also like WTF is this

How can you punish someone if you have no idea whether there was enough contact to send them down?

Plus the rules actually don't actually say that there has to be contact:

A direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any of the following seven offences in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force:

kicks or attempts to kick an opponent
trips or attempts to trip an opponent

 

So, when somebody falls and their knee brushes the heel of an opponent would you class that as....Careless, reckless or using excessive force?

 

Ah, there you are.Diego. Careless and reckless, and he didn't 'fall', he slid uncontrolled along the turf.
