On the way down before Guzan even got near him.

Again a wasted opportunity from a long range shot by a player poor at shooting from range

99% of fouls involve the fouled player exaggerating contact and going down to the floor when they could very clearly stay on their feet.

There was contact. That's enough. Literally no striker on the planet stays on their feet in that position.

If it happens outside the box or to another player nothing is said about it.

You sir, are nuts lol

A "dive" from a Villa player after minimal contact from Suarez but I notice no white horse crusade calling him a cheat.

He grabbed his hand and pulled it around his back. Or did you miss that ?

Too Tough To Die

I can't imagine many fans would be upset if their player went down like that in such a crucial situation.

brevity

There is quite a bit of double standards in this thread.

Might be the nicest guy in the world off the pitch, but on the pitch he's a consistent cheat

And now the false equivalency and victimization starts.


Only a matter of time before the Suarez is foreign, that's why all these racist people pick on him card comes out

So it's the other team's fault Suarez cheats? That fits...

WTF ???

COYVB wrote: »

Who mentioned Hillsborough? I'm talking about the fact that it's always someone else's fault when Suarez cheats or does something naughty. Racist abuse? The black guy's fault. Dives for a penalty? The keeper's fault

Reads like the "always the victim" line to me which is a definite Hillsborough reference. Apologies if not.
Still feel you're ott with Suarez comments.

I wonder when the referees will actually catch up with Liverpool's recent antics - dives against Villa/Stoke and skrtel hauling players off the ball at corners and free kicks...

This one still amazes me - just because it wasn't highlighted for you in a little box in the bottom corner doesn't make it new, and also doesn't mean he's the only one who does it. Defenders all over the league do it every game, most of them just don't have their own personal camera telling you what your opinion should be.

Ah yes....scoring a penalty makes the single incident I was talking about a point of amusement. Big thumbs up to you.

I'll ask one more time, maybe you missed it the other two, who played the ball through for Suarez?

I would be. I absolutely hate seeing Villa players diving, and based on the villa thread, so do most of the villa fans on here. Players are always berated for it when they do it. Young, when at villa, got a huge amount of flak from villa fans for going to ground. And villa don't have the only fans who don't want it in the game. But then, when it's won you a CL final, sure why wouldn't you have no problem with it

Cissohko dear god

Meanwhile in Anfield there are 20 minutes of football left to play.

It was a dive. Congrats for spotting it.

Looking forward to your analysis for when he is fouled in the box but not awarded a penalty.

Read like you were wrong, and pulled out a hillsborough card. Poor taste if im totally honest.

And no i havent been over the top on how suarez has been in this game.

Blind defence of it is more amusing actually.

Lads really need to focus. the game is there to be won

It was a dive but also stupid from Guzan. It doesn't make surez the worst cheat ever. I'd expect most strikers to do the same

Is it ok for Villa fans to be outraged by it though? Will you give us that permission?

That's not what I mean - outrage by all means, but its the moral outrage which I find amazing, the vitriolic hatred within the comments. I'll be gutted if pool concede a pen to a dive, but I won't go on calling that player the scum of the earth etc.

Henderson doing ok overall

Jesus.. What the hell was that?? He's lucky he's not off!

(just kidding! Is anyone actually still watching this game or what?)

What if it's a player who does it week in week out?

With all due respect, Villa aren't chasing a top 4 finish nor are they fighting relegation, really. They don't have such crucial situations.

Cissokho can't even take a simple ball on the run.

He lost his balance when travelling at pace and/or it was the other players fault for putting him in that position.

Some supporters are actually hilarious with their application of the rules with regards their own teams. But then again some others prefer a higher standard of accountability. Winning badly ... well whats the point really. Id rather go find something else to do.

Why are you bringing them into it? Yes Young is, but that has nothing to do with this incident.

In my opinion, no amount of diving by any player warrants the extreme personal hatred people get wrapped up in. It's ****ing football for gods sake.

Read my post I said if not true then apologies.

If you're not being OTT how come you don't post about fouling on Suarez or his other good play?

Villa are definitely in a relegation battle, the only reason they are 5 points clear of relegation is due to fluke wins against the likes of Southampton. When off form they have been the worst team in the league comfortably and with a tough run of games ahead they could well be in the relegation zone by March.
