Gerrard the diving ****

[boro_boy]

I don't like Gerrard or Liverpool. Gerrard should be banned just like Ronaldo should be.

Shock Horror! Gerrard doesn't have to dive to win a penalty agaisnt Sheff Utd.

Gerrard played the game ,he didn't do any thing wrong he asked the guy to keep his arms to himself he didn't so his team payed the price of losing the penalty ,F'uck i don't even like Gerrard but there are ten times worse in Ronaldo of Manure ushited

Gerard wasn't even looking at the player, he was constantly looking at the ref, all the time, it was never a penalty, I would have booked gerrard.

AJ was a bad dive also, I don't like him either.

[FATPIPE]

agreed he was looking at ref but thats what he was doing to get his attention to say look he won't let go they all do that and as i said i don't like the cnut either but i ain't gonna single him out from the rest cos of that ,he didn't do anything that is not already going on in the game

I think the reffs need to not give in to these kind on incidences, fair enough if Gerrard was looking for the ball and then got pulled back, but looking at the ref and shouting towards him even before he fell, thats out of order.

Yeah now we are on the same wave length your right thats what he was doing ,but they all do it and thats wrong i do agree, thing is they play for that advantage which in my opinion is ungentlemanly conduct looking for the reward from an infringement rather than playing the game till the whistle actually stops play very sad ,don't know about you but i'd rather score from open play than looking for the penalty all the time

[boro_boy]

Yeah scoring from open play is much better than a penalty.

It was a clumsy penalty which never should have been given, its not as if the player pulled Gerrard down. Gerrard ran into his arm and fell... not the sort of thing you like to see if your a fan.

AJ`s penalty I feel was a given, he didn't dive, simple as. Once a striker is in the box, hes aim is obviously to score, AJ got clamped by 2 defenders and went down from being budged.

Gerrard made a point to the ref then fell over and took the defender down with him. Disgraceful

[boro_boy]

AJ wasn't touched, watch the replay, he got snipered.

AJ wasn't touched, watch the replay, he got snipered.

If you see it from the right angle his right foot is clearly taken out.

gerrards was a penalty, simple as that- he may have been looking for it, but since when has a defender been allowed to stick his arm out to stop a run.

he made it blatantly obvious that his arm was going nowhere, which meant gerrard wouldn't get a run, which meant penalty
