I suspect this is the case too, not that it will stop people blaming VAR for this.
He headed it, didn't he?
He didn't fall Shami. He jumped into him. It was a clear dive.
Shami it's a blatant dive. I've never taken a side step and then ended up on my arse like that, have you? And watch the 2nd angle of the replay, he takes a little hop with his left foot.
Jump or hop, call it whatever you like it was a clear dive. And we being you and Fernandes? You both walk very funny then if you take a step and then rather than put your foot back on the ground you collapse to the ground. Anyway it's clear you're now just trying to distract from the fact that it's a dive.
I've not changed my story once, you're just playing word games to distract from the point. Jump or hop, it's the same thing. You had initially claimed his feet didn't leave the gound - changing your story?He collapsed into the ground because fell into the player, did you even watch the video
The fact that you're changing your story makes it pretty clear what you're doing Baz.
Watch the replay without your Utd spectacles on. He lifts off with his left foot and makes no attempt to complete his jump/hop/step (or whatever you want to call it). He's falling to the ground before there is any contact with Dier. It was a clear dive.
Feet is plural, isn't it? So if his feet haven't left the ground then it stands to reason that you're saying his left foot hasn't left the ground. And read the post above yours. Your fellow Utd supporter and several other neutral supporters have said it's a dive. Maybe you're the bias one ShamiYou initially claimed he clearly jumps into him, the replay shows nothing like that. Nothing about his pattern of movement changes. I said his feet don't leave the ground FEET, not foot, he's obviously moving not standing still. It's just a coming together that the ref has wrongly called (I assume because he thought the defender stood on his foot) and was rightly overturned. You're just making claims of a dive because he's a United player and you always do this
VAR cannot give yellow cards.
People will never agree on penalties like Pogba's one. Whether he's looking for it, whether he's played for it, whether it's soft or whether he could have stayed up shouldn't matter imo. A foul is a foul (or not) based on the action of the defender, not the reaction of the attacker. Dier fouled him, it's a penalty. Unfortunately we all know that if an attacker stays on his feet when fouled 99.9% of the time the foul isn't awarded.
I hadn't even considered him until I listened to a Liverpool podcast the other day but it really would make sense, for us at least. No idea if we're after him though.
