    Carra put it extremely well - there's a difference between diving and going down after being fouled. Salah does very little of the former and a lot of the latter. A lot of the pundits are too dumb to notice the difference.

    nowadays, diving is part of the game, defenders must be smarter, if not unnecessary, better don't put your legs out.

    And as I said the "Is Salah a diver" narrative has begun. I've been listening to the radio and every show I've listened to that had been one of the topics, despite that there were other 'incidents' regarding the likes of Kane over the weekend.

    Simon Jordan is another ****.

    A **** that thinks he's more intelligent than he actually is because he likes to read a dictionary on weekends.

    You'd think Salah was winning penalties every week and was a bigger master of the 'dark arts' than Ramos.

    Just because it's part of the game, it doesn't mean we have to like or accept it.
    If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just put it in the net, and we'll talk about the other options later... Bob Paisley.

    Yes. I don't get why that committee that was set up two years ago to retrospectively punish divers is staying silent all the time. Now it should be easier than ever with VAR to do it during games too!

    The person viewing the VAR when it comes to dives. They tend to go with the on field ref. Simply because they don't wanna appear to call the player a diver.
    Its a difficult call to make and i know i would struggle to decide if i was in the Var box. Because you would be accused of favouring certain teams. So they just tend to stick with the official on the field
