There is play acting abnd what they did today.

We lost fair and square but if you can't admit they were a disgrace you have no idea. And what does FIFA have to do with a CL game? The ref was atrcocious. Jurgen had to take Mane off due to it.

Speaking at his post-match press conference, Klopp also explained the decision to withdraw Sadio Mane at half-time in the encounter.

"Obviously the plan was to get Sadio out of the game with a yellow card," Klopp said. "I was afraid his opponent would go down even if Sadio takes a deep breath or whatever, so I didn't want to have that situation. That's why we took him off.

You do know he was touched on each of them, it's in slow motion as it looks worse.

He may well exaggerate, but is not a serial diver. As pointed out countless times, there have been more instances of not getting penalties when he stays on his feet and tries to continue....players can't win!!

Yes, and do you do know that (in today's interpretations of the laws) if you contact the player and not the ball it's a foul?

Untrue
Law 12:
trips or attempts to trip
If an offence involves contact it is penalised by a direct free kick or penalty kick.
These days if you miss the ball you get penalised for the above.

you're being silly....

just to clarify...you're stating all incidental physical contact is punishable with the awarding of a free kick?

Do I condone Atletico behaviour ? My answer is no. But they are not alone and even Liverpool players do it. As I said if FIFA want to stamp out play acting , diving etc they can but I just dont think they have the balls to do it.

I am not being silly. When you watch football today (top leagues), if someone goes for the ball, but misses it and the player is touched a freekick is given, unless an advantage is played.

Are you disagreeing?
I dont like this, but if you go flying in, studs up but get the ball cleanly you can be sent off for dangerous play.

Yes, if you go for the ball, miss it and get the player , it will be considered a foul.

Find me a post where I said his antics were good? Having said that, his rising from the dead at Norwich is the greatest thing I have ever witnessed on a football pitch.

Why is the level of contact required for a foul different in the penalty box and the centre circle? I struggle with that one.

Or, in Mane's case, if you breathe on him.

Not sure if there is an updated list. But not surprising a Spurs and Arsenal fan try and shy away from their club's problems.

Son played most of the game with a fractured arm. Mane has to go off with a bruised ego.

Couldn’t agree more, a thing of beauty.

Have you ever said anything positive about the English game or anyone that plays in it?
As you clearly despise all English football, why do you watch it?

Well that isn't true because he wants to limit their numbers.

It was the best league well before the foreigners "took over".
