I haven't seen the incident but agree with you, just because there's contact doesn't mean it isn't a dive. However, palace get what they deserve. Their fans think they're Italian and wannabe ultras so how can they complain when they lost to an Italian style of play.

i think we all agree, but the LOTG don't state if the touch is hard or not. One of the worst at it was subbed off earlier - he used to play for Spurs too - Adebayor

Liverpool were fortunate this time. Spurs were fortunate on Saturday - they didn't lose a player - refs make mistakes and we move on.

By throwing yourself on the ground could you not argue that the player is "feigning injury"?

It was careless NOC. He shouldn't have slid in the box. There was the minimum amount of contact but enough for the linesman to make his decision. Doesn't take a whole lot of contact to cause someone to fall :wink:

He didn't fall, he did a double pike with twist.

Whilst I wholly agree that defenders should stay on their feet, especially in the box, a brush like that shouldn't result in a hulking great bloke like Benteke going down like he's been hit with a wrecking ball.

This can start and finish with referees though. Booking people for diving and also giving the penalties even if they don't go down.

I actually heard a few players last year in the Over 35's say , "you can't give a penalty, he didn't go down"

Christian Benteke maintained his innocence though after Alan Pardew's dive claims, saying: "I believe he (Palace's Damien Delaney) touched me, otherwise I don't go down."

Boss Jurgen Klopp backed his player, added: "If you run and you get this touch, you fall down. In my opinion, there was more than enough of a touch.
Benteke only believes that Delaney only touched him.

IMO this is the attitude that's ruining the game. Player cheats and manager backs him up.

Do all mid-table clubs get this treatment when a call goes their way?

I’m sure I’ve seen less outrage for a dodgy penalty that decided a Cup Final as opposed to battle for 6th and battle for 16th…..The fewmin is funny reading though..

Had it not been the last moment of the match I doubt many would have been quite so bothered.

Palace were 1-0 up with Liverpool only playing with 10 in the 65th minute. It's their own fault they lost that one. Padrew is a champagne.

To be fair, Liverpool were creating not a lot until the keeper slipped and the ref helped out.

Pardew is a champagne though, but a funny one.

Tie not settled yet by any means, but at this stage, is it a cup that Man U are or aren't keen on?

If you listen to their Manager, it's a game against an unimportant opponent.

This is what Lucas Neill did against the Italians and yet every Australian fan complains of Italian cheating - in reality it showed the naivety of the Australian football psyche.

I don't see why Van Gaal wouldn't want to win it. They probably won't get top 4 and it's their easiest way of making the ucl next season. He played a full strength team but if it weren't for De Gea, it could've been 5.

Penalty was a bit soft. Did catch the player first though. Carrick should've put his laces through the ball instead of just tapping it. Silly play there. Deserved lead anyways. Should've been more.

Just watched the Man.U. v. Liverpool Europa League game on beIN Sports. A good contest.

I know some think Coutinho is selfish but that was a great goal.

Klopp must be eyeing off winning this Cup. Imagine meeting Dortmund. And qualifying for next season's European Champions League.

On the positive side, it will keep the already long-gone Man U supporters away from FN for even longer.

One good half, one rubbish half. Klopp still struggling with their terrible inconsistency.

He is actually doing very well with the inconsistency. He's kept it going nicely.

Nightmare of a team to bet on this season. I knew spanking them 6-1 at same venue in cup game earlier in season would have rebound ramifications at some point. Bugga

Wow, that 4-3 win over Dortmund in the Europa League was special to admire.

Win the Semi & Final and Liverpool even qualify for the lucrative Champions League.

Does that mean England could have 6 teams in the champions league next year or is it still limited to 4?
