What are you on about ? Bore off dipper. Stop trying to manufacture yourself into a victim from anything. Texting and driving is disgraceful, making a joke is not.

Completely agree. I lost my best friend last year because someone who was high and also using their mobile while driving plowed into them. He will get off lightly as he’s a media darling IMO.
Sorry to hear. I really hope he does not get off lightly and I mean that in zero regards to how it coukd affect Liverpool's performance. Some things, no matter how uncool they are, are just about principles.
The video really isn't that bad.

He is stopped, not driving while using the phone. Probably just finished talking to the fans who were filming him. Maybe setting some music for the journey home? I wouldn't personally do it, but I don't think that is criminal.

Not making myself into a victim, and yes, making a joke about certain things is disgraceful. Carry on though - you sound like a really pleasant and well adjusted bloke.
I don't condone what Salah did whatsoever, and think he should be punished. People need to follow the rules, they exist for a reason.
Ffs justice for x isn’t always to do with hillsborough it’s been used in countless other football and social media campaigns (i.e. justiceforsuarez , a chant YOUR fans made up.)
Stop trying to act like anyone who doesn’t hero worship your club are monsters.
Brexit him!
Put him behind bars!
Nothing will happen. Remember Marcos Alonso ?
Criminal!
Am I missing something? What's the fuss about?

Ok. I'm out.

It all depends if the engine was running or not, you can be charged for using your mobile to pay for food at a drive thru if you don't turn the engine off first.
Bit shitty on Liverpool for snitching on him.
On the phone is very dangerous especially in the car there is to many people who are just not very good at multi tasking. You know those people who cross the streets while on their phone and nearly or actually get run over or those people who walk on the streets on their phone and smash into things and people. In Australia we had so many phone related accidents that there is a law where you cannot use a phone while the car is switched on doesn't matter if the car is stationary or not.
I say throw the book at Mo.

Yeah, it's all a little much. That said, he's a Football player, isn't he; that means he's not a real person, with a real family in the car, driving away from a non-LFC supporter who sells merchandise online for a profit. Whilst stopped, he used his phone. They're trying to feck him over. Maybe he deserves 6 points and a fine for that, I don't know. If the law says it, he should be treated like anybody else, but those on Twitter and elsewhere claiming he's endangered people's lives are a little daft.
24 months ban from football, no transfers allowed for Liverpool and Salah.
Four reasons why he became popular. One is that his performances as a winger last season were absolutely phenomenal, and it is rarer for wingers to achieve those figures than pure strikers. Second reason is that Liverpool are hyped by the media and Salah being their player obviously got double the attention. Third, as the only world class Egyptian player, he attained god like status in his own country. Fourth, as he is a muslim who has attained sky high popularity for the above 3 reasons, he is being held by a lot of muslims the world over irrespective of club and country loyalties as some sort of role model, a moderate muslim who can counter their perceptions of Islamophobia.
Feck everyone who ever gave someone a ticket for that..Are the Justice4Mo tshirts out yet?
Pretty sure that isn't true, as a drive thru would invariably be classed as private property and not a public highway.
They could have been killed!
This. The car isn’t even moving is it?
But of course it’s a Liverpool player so we’re going to go overboard about it
That was bang out of order. Ban him for 6 months.

Irrelevant, you're in control of a vehicle, everyone should have their phones in the glovbogl while driving.
It's the case in France too and I assume in most EU countries.
I have never heard any instances of anyone being charged for that but it is the law, a stupid one i might add.

If the engine is off and handbrake applied your good to go, otherwise you are breaking the law.
Pretty sure due to stop/start technology the law has been amended to fine you if you're "in control of a vehicle". So even if you're engine is off (modern cars), if you're deemed to be engaged in driving police can still fine you.
Salah's car was turning off when he was stopping - my assumption being he thought he wasn't breaking the law.

Not sure that was staged; the kid got kicked out by security after trying to return to this seat and were roundly booed by the fans.

Whatever you might think of the situation, the law was recently changed so that you have to be stopped -with the engine turned off- in order to be allowed to use your mobile phone.
I actually personally think that’s ridiculously overkill, but that’s the law and by definition - criminal. You can argue it’s not immoral, in the same fashion a parking ticket isn’t immoral, but it’s criminal.
I think they’ll make an example out of Salah, rightly or wrongly.
For what it’s worth it might highlight to some people the new change in the law - if you pull over to go on your phone you gotta turn your engine off or they will feck you.
This story is a joke. Whoever filmed it and sent it to the police needs to take a long hard look at themselves. Then give themselves a slap.
PC gone mad.
I thought it was a phone.
Liverpool sent it to the police.
It's a common phrase. What are you on about? Is the word justice now owned by LFC?
Fans hounding players in their cars is not cool.
Same in the UK, if you are driving, whether moving or stationary, i.e. not parked. It's a 6 point penalty and a fine.On the phone is very dangerous especially in the car there is to many people who are just not very good at multi tasking. You know those people who cross the streets while on their phone and nearly or actually get run over or those people who walk on the streets on their phone and smash into things and people.

The video seems innocuous enough hopefully this doesn't turn into a public witch hunt and the police use some common sense and just give him a warning....
and an 18 month prison sentence.
Think you've overreacted a bit there chief, similar jokes have been made on here for years about Suarez etc.

Massively underrated.
