Who was Kane? He missed the Pen anyway so its academic.

No, Lamela

I reckon the LFC fans will have T-Shirts printed up & have a minutes silence on the 95th minute of every home game from now on.

We've got VAR on Wednesday so if either team gets screwed over by diving or whatever, at least they will be officially screwed over.

And Salah? Or is it only dodgy decisions against Liverpool that count?

When was Salah offside?

You'd think so by now, he did it on Stephens to score his header at St Mary's two weeks ago too.

VAR is useless specifically because things like goals from corners should ALWAYS be disallowed under review, there are always a heap of fouls in the build up.

More importantly he did it against the County. He pushed Labadie out of the way to make space for himself to get to the far post for their goal.

Agreed. I don't understand how a nudge in the back seems to result in your legs collapsing beneath you.

Careful mate, your getting a bit near the knuckle with that type of comment .... I know where your heading .....

Kane said: "I felt contact and I went down. I'm not going to jump out of the way because it's football."

That sounds like 'simulation' to me. A positive decision to go down, rather than it happening because of the contact.

I'd taken that one as a given seeing as we were already talking about it on County's forum!

The initial problem is still, and remains the case, that referees rarely give penalties for fouls unless someone falls over. So players who get fouled fall over to ensure the foul is acknowledged. Then sometimes players fall over to get penalties because they think they deserve them...

I agree. Where I would go further is that forwards leave a trailing leg and look to go over. For me I would like to see referees using the same logic as with handball. That is that if the tackling player is not moving towards the leg, often the case when goalkeepers come out then no penalty. Also if it's a red card for denying a goal scoring opportunity surely it shouldn't be red for trying to create a goal scoring opportunity by cheating/diving.
