February 24, 200718 yr For the first penalty, it's clear that the defender had the intent to bring Captain Confused down, even if there was no contact...intent is enough to warrant a penalty, isn't it?

If your last name is Gerrard then of course. Penalty and perhaps a straight red. If your last name is Lampard, Robben or Drogba then no hell no! A yellow card for diving atleast.

February 25, 200718 yr Gerrard's done that in both games against Sheffield United this season, and both times got a penalty. I'd love to lock him in a room with Neil Warnock Just goes to show how incompetent (or corrupt) referees are though - this happens every week in one game or another (every game when Ronaldo plays), yet the refs fall for it every time. They must have an idea which players tend to dive and which ones don't, but it seems that if you play for Manure, Arse or Scousescum you're exempt. Play for another team, and you get carded for diving - or "simulation" as Lawrenson insists on calling it - w*nker.
February 25, 200718 yr Out of curiosity what was the MOTD team's reaction to the dive (we didn't get MOTD up here last night because it was Scottish cup weekend and the highlihgts of that were on) Unsurprisingly there is little mention of it on the BBC and Sky website. SKY push the boat out and say 'The home side won a disputed penalty ' whereas the BBC keep the boat well tied up, still in the boat shed, with the shed padlocked by saying 'Kozluk fouled Gerrard for the first penalty, stopping the Liverpool captain from making a run for a corner. '
