Fergie said Rooney dived vs Villareal. Rooney admited it too, and apologized to his opponent and to Fergie.

Did Ngog/Rafa appologise? NOPE. They admitted is was 'maybe' not a pen (so not actually saying he dived, or that it wasn't a pen), but Rafa went on to say, basically, that liverpool deserved it and that if it was a dive, oh well, it worked out well for them.

Nothing really to say 'fair play' about imo.

To be fair other managers would have said they didn't see the incident, at least he didn't do that. By not doing so he had little option other to say what he did.

Yea, I remember that. It was a typical classic Fergie speech "It was uncharacteristic of him." :pac: To be honest I think managers and players should just not mention dving, they always end up with egg on their face and look like hypocrites. While Carsley and Mcleash will have no problem slating Ngog I pretty sure if Birmingham win a peno next week from diving they won't be so critical and will probably say that since they were on the wrong end of it last before it somehow evens itself out.

Deffo, remember McGeady diving the week after the Eduardo incident? Hilarious

lol at those posters thinking Liverpool are out of the title race. Long season ahead and tbh 11 points is'nt that big a gap to close. Right behind Rafa and the team who where incrediblely unlucky last night. YNWA

No way man, that's like totally super not allowed.

You have to accept defeat from day one, and bend over and accept your destiny.

**** it, I'll give up only after it's impossible anyway.

VK, i tend to see a recurring theme in your posts...



In other news, Johnsons comments in the aftermath of the match;

"We want to be winning these games and I felt we did more than enough to take three points but it just wasn't meant to be," said Johnson.

"You could say we could have dealt with the first better but (Cameron) Jerome has hit the strike of his life for the second goal.

"We had chances, we dominated the game and you can see everyone was working for the cause. It's just one of those times for us at the minute and we just need to keep working.

"As long as we keep showing the togetherness and passion that we did here, then I'm sure we will come through with a smile on our face.

"The record sounds awful and it is awful for a club like Liverpool. But things like this happen in football. You stick together and keep fighting.

"We have seen in the league that everyone can beat everyone; if someone had told you at the start of the season that we'd win one in nine, you'd have laughed your head off.

"We will just look to get as many points as we can as quickly as possible then have a look at the end of the season and see where we are."

Referees' chief Keith Hackett also said he would talk to Walton about his mistake.

Hackett said: "I will be sitting down with Peter on a one-to-one basis, and as a group, to see how we can best deal with this problem, so that errors are reduced.

"We will sit down and go through what the referee could have done to avoid this error. Before I do that I need to look at the various views of the incident on the TV footage to look at the position of the referee.

"I'll tell you this, I know Peter Walton very well and he will be upset when he views the DVD of this particular decision."
