The 'diving Panel' farce

[marcus]

Feel sorry for DCL as that goal could have been the catalyst for us to go on and win the game, plus cement him in as starting striker.

I think Silva and team have been doing a lot of work with him as he looks like hes got a bit more about him.

Will be a challenge against burnleys giants.

How completely predictable that Salah is not going to be referred to the Panel that's supposed to be assessing diving with a view to suspensions being handed out. I may be wrong but I think that still leaves Niasse as the only PL player to have been penalised. Run a clip of Niasse's 'offence' next to Salah's and tell me which one was a clearer case of trying to con the referee. Have in mind also that the ref who gave us the penalty that day told the Panel that he wasn't conned at all and still thought it was a penalty having seen it numerous times after the game.

It's an injustice & everybody knows it...

Salah is a cheat but is getting away with it...

Niasse was unlucky as he was definitely pushed...

If Niasse done what Salah done on Saturday he would not even have got a penalty...

Is it really that important?

There's people sleeping rough in doorways, children going without food and heating, hundreds of thousands of familys living in abject poverty and folk are up in arms over this.


What a world we live in.

All those things are happening and you’re spending your valuable time sat on a football forum commenting on how terrible the world is , and it is , do you not see the irony of that ?

It IS about Everton unless you're saying all Everton only posts cannot mention another team in them?

VAR should sort this out next season ... though I suspect that that so called “Top Six” will have their own version. You know the one - Vaseline on the lens

My time is pretty worthless to be honest mate and also Not complaining about people talking about football on a Football forum

 

[Royalbm1]

Hope this thread gets a sequel

 

[Bruce Wayne]

This type of post should merit a 5 day ban.

It's a football forum, people are going to talk football things.

No. Just, no.

What a weird post, it is football related on a football forum, more specifically Everton related. Of course it is important in it's context.According to your logic, no one can ever discuss anything again if it deemed not as serious as something else.

Like I say very weird.

Lanzini as well. Since then, it’s all been quiet.

He only got banned two games our prince leads the table with three games!
keeping on topic like we have a current affairs thread for the other post ........that has raised debate.....

 

[samcdavies94]

That Lanzini ban was given last December, meaning this panel has nearly gone a full calendar year without retrospectively banning anyone for deceiving the referee...

The pen was soft. Just like DCL’s at the pit last season. But if a defender puts his hands on an attacker in the box then they run the risk of something happening- that’s the exact line that was used last season for us so there’s no point moving the goal posts now because it doesn’t suit us.

Agree really, by the letter of the law it was a pen. If salah was an honest player he would have stayed on his feet but, living with the Shearer style of going down whenever there is contact, it is a pen. There have been other much worse incidents this year that should have resulted in bans though and the issue still stands, why only Niasse and Lanzini in over a year?

 

[Abraders]

Definitely a farce but haven't actually seen the highlights of Liverpool's game to comment on the incident.
