Super-diver Steven Gerrard

[Thinker]

How does this guy get away with this?

http://i33.tinypic.com/25ujlzq.jpg

Serial diver, and no one rats him out for consistently diving to get goals.

[ibelieveindevil]

super sian by this, last min penalty and there goes my $330. bloody hell, i wonder how much the referee earn by giving this penalty

[Devilsire]

lol... the ref really kayu to award a PK base on that...

Gerrard's kuazhang facial expression + his spreading of arms before hitting the ground abit... :s22:

[zhaohan]

quite outrageous sia

[faruk55]

well... that's football...

[kopfowler]

Well why not discussing that the referee do not give penalty when the balls strikes the Atlelatico defender’s hand.??

This is football..sometime you gain sometime you lose....

[humanc0w]

Well i wish Chelsea also can dive like that.

The fact that they don't cause me to lose $$ & waste time waking in dead hours of morning watching them lose to a Roma team that dives & whines.

Liverpool - Stevie dives....
ManUre - everyone dives....
Roma - dives & whines to Refs!
Chelsea - No one dives....WTF?

[spykid]

That's a penalty? :s13: :s13:

[wingwizard]

some dives to get attention. some out and can't dive, become forgotten man.

[Rappelz]

I would say its a foul, albeit a soft one. Gerrard got to the ball first and was knocked off it.

[hiei02]

its not about the foul, its the theatrics. :s13:

[ibelieveindevil]

the fact should not be consider a foul at all. gerade doesnt have the ball. He doesnt ****ing have ball. when they collided, it is far too hard to stop liao, and gerade just pretend to be knock down so seriously that he instantly take a penalty and scored. i cant find any vids now, but take a good look at his facial expression if you manage to get one. well with some basic physics knowledge and i wonder why the one that move faster and greater force can suffer when collide with a smaller force

[Thinker]

well... that's football...

It would be if Stevie M wasn't such a huge hypocrite when he wrote in his book that foreigners were ruining football with their diving antics.


Hey! Same trademark Nazi salute whenever he goes for the dive!

chio man hahaahaha
so fake

[CanIsayNo]

Gerrard himself conceded: "I was not sure it was a penalty, I got to the ball first, and I suppose if that was outside the area it would be a free-kick."

i won't really say it's a dive la cos it does look like he was pushed/elbowed from the back but it's up to the ref to give it ultimately.. we've seen these decisions given on some occasion and not given on others

and why does he get away with it? cos he's english.. the pundits are normally english and love criticising the foreign players for diving but when rooney or some other english player does it, somehow it's forgivable or simply ignored

[Techadd]

Well i wish Chelsea also can dive like that.

Inter's current manager claims that Drogba dives.
Hmmmm..

[cj4_elmo]

Gerrard's an hypocrite, he says that players who dive should be condemened and yet he does it himself.

[batman_888]

dun worry, your drogba is starting to warm up....:D:D


agree... haha... actually many players dived... juz tat dey dun claimed it.. dey instead point others... but some r honest players...

[Jordan]

Tonight you'll see more divers in action, esp from the one who just won the dunno-what footballer of the year :eek:

[thomas00]

Ronaldo is worse.

[Rappelz]

eh.. regarding the physics part...
action reaction force is same no?

[1920_me]

If an English player do that, then its clever and part of the game.
If a continental player does it, then its diving and should be kicked out of the game.

The press would have had a field day if ronaldo had done it.

[hiei02]

eh.. regarding the physics part...
action reaction force is same no?

reaction is usually internal force. i push you, do i fall? no rite. :s13:

[wmania2]

Not really a dive. I think he is desperate and just jumped after the ball. He has no chance of winning the ball in the first place so it should be a foul in favour of Pernia.

[cybertech]

Maybe the referee wanted to redeem his error on the two earlier very obvious handball
so waiting for a chance to give a penalty to Liverpool... wait and wait finally at 95 mins
so happy happy give loh .... and he will sleep better after that :D

[Wryer]

Looks uncannily like the last minute penalty Clichy 'gave' away at Villareal 3 years ago.

[kengbeng]

:yawn:

[Jackass43]

i'm a Liv fan n i agree in that match shudn't be a penalty..... but kengbeng vid he posted 70% aint diving.....naturally when u run fast towards the goal and when sumone push you slightly it may give you an off balance nd that may cause u too fall.....

Cristiano Ronaldo

[anthonylph]

[Asakura]

[Asakura]

Well i wish Chelsea also can dive like that.

[Jackson Ng Ghim Pheng]

The Ref have receive death threats from Atlético Madrid fans.

[Arsenal85]

Wow, portugal is a team of divers :s13:

[Boi_racer]

Thats was not a penalty.

[Weng123]

naturally when u run fast towards the goal and when sumone push you slightly it may give you an off balance nd that may cause u too fall.....

funny how if it's ronaldo doing it, all the pundits and opposition fans will insist it is a dive.

[Carova.]

now i ish know...... STEVIE G DIVES........!

[idiort]

lol thread....

[Boi_racer]

Ronaldo ish the champion diver, followed by Drogba, the rest dun come close. lol

[Beta_Tester]

thats really cheating. wana dive at least dive like klinsmann. :x

[victorian07]

Well i wish Chelsea also can dive like that.

[laksanice]

Haha but the winner for the month is Vietnam players in the Singapore match, who most of them stood up after the challenge and when they see the referee coming over, fell to the ground as if they have been shot and roll around.

[lippy_pig]

Gerrard's an hypocrite, he says that players who dive should be condemened and yet he does it himself.

damn rite!
the best part is his, "things like dat happens in football and we should just move on..."
when he dives, he's just rescuing his club...:s27:

[lippy_pig]

Ronaldo ish the champion diver, followed by Drogba, the rest dun come close. lol

but gerrard ish de diver (hypocrite division) champion for sure...

[s7460597]

but gerrard ish de diver (hypocrite division) champion for sure...

No the champion is Ronaldo. Drogba following closely.

[Beta_Tester]

What abt Klinsmann? God Father of all divers. :o

[lippy_pig]

No the champion is Ronaldo. Drogba following closely.
