Funny that Chris Hutton said he had no complaints with the penalty. Must be a closet pool supporter then.

"let's say".
Don't think there was much chance of it here though. That said, don't think salah, or anyone in that situation, is terribly interested in finding out if they can stay up once knocked off balance
this is it also, really
the tiniest nudge can put me off balance & stop me from scoring
but I'm not sure it entitles me to fall over & get a pen does it?
it ought to be part of good defending really - whuch is where leaning & holding & obstructing runs at corners started out originally
anyone getting a free run at a corner coming in at the right height is gonna score so that has to be prevented at all costs & is usually, given it so seldom happens
What's with the penalty agenda against Liverpool? United have had 6 this season in the PL.
1 more than liverpool.. I don't understand why your 19 points behind us if they are so important?
Strange, very strange and stinks of clutching at straws.

Salah definitely does a bit of diving, but not today, come on now. Obvious penalty.
That was quite painful to watch. No fluent play going forward, and Mané went missing again. We really need him to start performing. But our defence saved us. Good job from Fabinho in the absence of CB's.
I'll go with he judges when to fall very well. As a general thing.
I don't know what you want the player or referee to do today. Looks a solid enough pen on MotD.

The daddy of divers to do his business tomorrow against Spurs to rule them out of the top two race. Don't let us down Sir Ashley The Young.

You are about three seasons late with that comment.
Pickings are slim right now, the penalty agenda is all we have to throw at you.
Yeah, we're getting desperate, what with Liverpool being some 22 points clear at the top of the table, the CL in the bag and Lord Bucktooth getting his teeth whitened (
).Shit season.

Another thing I dislike, however, I'm on a united forum so fair enough.
But, the league isn't Liverpools. I know you all want us to fail etc but very few Liverpool fans are saying the league is ours.
I said to an Evertonian mate the other week that we can't win either way.
We say the title race is wide open and get laughed at...or We say yeah I think we will win the league... We get laughed at.
It's open, all I know is Tottenham won't win it. (yeah... feck off spurs) oh and I hope united offer poch 400k a week and something called MONEY to spend in the market.
And before any spurs fans say your in top 4, in CL and the cups.... You won f all last season or the 1000 years before that and you decide not to push on and invest some cash in your squad. Rant over.

How many fans who see nothing wrong in Salahs antics were genuinely miffed at Neymar
They all drink the Koolaid over at the scouse.
This is what the man internationally known as Steven Starfish had to say about diving in the PL:
https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/gerrard-calls-for-players-to-be-honest-1.1187471
To be fair Stevie Me did his best theatrical work in the CL and not the PL, but his lack of self awareness is great.
He might fall a bit easy sometimes, but I haven't seen him going down without being touched. And I don't see him screaming in pain and rolling around every time he's fouled. So what's the comparison?
Last time he dived Ashley was Young.
Am I right!?
Think the backclash from media and supporters, even MUFC supporters, became a bit much for Young to handle.
Something about Liverpool and their stars though. Stevie Me did it, Suarez did it, and now Salah.
How can you compare the two? Salah is nowhere near as bad Harry Kane, nevermind Neymar.
Blatant diving? So being pulled back and kicked as you go to take a shot is “diving”?
They did that a couple of years and there were quite a few penalties called at the beginning of the season. It didn’t last long though and VVD was clearly held today with the ref looking right at him and he did nothing.
Salah’s “antics”? Hilarious
Is diving not falling easy?
Richard Keys has questioned Mohamed Salah‘s integrity, accusing the Liverpool forward of “making the most of challenges” in order to con referees.

But this is diving

But not this
Your argument wasn't an attempt to try and compare two penalty decisions, but you suggested Neymar and Salah are comparable in their theatrics on the pitch. And you're literally referring to the one and only example of Salah arguably going down softly. That does not make him anywhere near as bad as or comparable to Neymar's years of consistent theatrics and playacting on the pitch.
Also, VVD clearly gets the ball. The Newcastle player does not.
Did you watch it through scouse cam?
At no point during that clip does VVD get near or even attempt to get near the ball.
Diving is falling without being fouled, isn't it?
I don't really find a BeIn sport journalists opinion more relevant than any others..
VVD has one desperate go for the ball which he misses & then completely cleans him out with the other leg.
Any VVD & ball interaction is a complete accident. That's a penalty.
Ridiculous comparison can only assume the guy didn't watch the World Cup if he thinks Salah is worse than Neymar.
That's a definite penalty.
Most fouls have contact only that the victim exaggerate the impact of the contact.
The way Liverpool fans talked about Neymar's embellishment vs PSG, I find it hypocritical they are now twisting and turning to justify Salahs
When most Liverpool fans were arguing that Neymar was diving here after being kicked by #26 or the VVD sweep kick

I can see why it would be a pen, but he does get the ball with his left foot.
Why are we even debating a situation where neymar didn't dive? It has nothing to do with him being the most annoyingly theatrical diver in the game.
It's not like we're opposed to admitting diving per se. Suarez was an unabashed cheat and there was nothing for it but to embrace it as who he was.
The current hysteria about salah is nothing like it and blown well out of proportion, presumably to find anything to throw shit at, at the moment.
Mane for example is actually a serial diver, but I guess he's not as enjoyable to try and tear down.

That's obviously a foul, but what's Salah got to do with this? You want to miscredit some Liverpool fans for thinking Neymar is an acting cheat, when he is criticized from all over the world for it.. Fine.Most fouls have contact only that the victim exaggerate the impact of the contact.

Now that we have gone way off topic with this Neymar bullsh*t, how can you get offended about anyone diving, when you support a team with Ribery and Robben? Do you find yourself hypocritical?
So you admit that they are ALL at it?!
There was supposed to be a new rule about players being banned if they had conned a penalty.
The FA are clearly not giving a damn about Liverpool in this case.
I think mane is a diver. Salah is not. That people are playing up salah and barely noticed mane is just a sign of the hysteria about it all.
The fa agreed that he didn't dive.

That was the 1st time you have watched a full Liverpool match this season? It was their 22nd league game plus they've played United and theyre are top of the table and yet yesterday was the 1st time you've watched them play?
Am I correct in guessing you're not much of a football (soccer?) fan? There's nothing wrong with that but I find it strange when somebody who has watched 1 game makes statements about a teams inability to win a 38 game league campaign based on them viewing a single performance.

They’ve had more pens than any other club in PL history and the minute we get one in front they can’t wait to let us know.
Wtf is it with all the dippers on here these days anyway? Thought it was a United forum.
Looks like they are climbing out of the caves, waiting to claim Liverpool are the best thing to happen to football, ever.
It will be one hell of a meltdown and retreat if they cock it up now.
Getting nervous, aren't we? Just accept that it was a penalty. Some on here would not be out of place on RAWK with the complaining.
In that case no one will complain over our presence here, and you will even encourage us to come out of our caves
Richard Keys, the leading mind in football analysis and ex-GMTV presenter, also challenged the penalty decision.
Well, I didn't know that. Fecking scousers bought the refs. The FA are trying to give them the title. Wankers. Diving Salah git.
Who gives a feck about diving? Football isn't about morality, football is about winning games. Blame the refs.
