Cheating scum. He should get as much stick as Eduardo if not more as it was the most blatent dive i've seen and he has nothing to defend himself like an injury scare.

Well. He was in the wrong. But if u wanna win; 'a mans gotta do, what a mans gotta do.' :)
Liverpool fans moan how other teams dive when their team is one of the worst for it. Surprised Gerrard didn't claim a pen. Normally does.
Clear pen ;)
Dirty challenge, can't believe Carsley stayed on the pitch to be honest.
Ngog **** out of the tackle and the ref gave a pen, compensated for the 2 handballs.
HIS NAME IS DAVID NGOG. HE ISN'T A CONTRACTION. :eusa_wall
I'm not disputing he dived but nevertheless;
You're saying you only have the right to avoid a tackle to prevent injury if you've previously been injured through a tackle? No. And I wouldn't blame any red at the present situation to go at all lengths to avoid any kind of injury. We didn't need to pick up any more tonight. Oh wait.... Yossi. :BangHead:
How is Liverpool the worst for it? You're basically saying a young French kid who has played a few games for us represents the conduct of the whole club? :S Ronaldo and Drogba never played for us, sorry. And I'm surprised Gerrard didn't score again. Normally does.
No I said Eduardo's dive wasn't fair and but somepeople argue he had an injury before and was scared.
I have not seen it yet, i was right infront of it and to all the blues fans it looked like a penalty lol but then the texts come in lol. By what i have read on skysports and BBC sport it was a blatent dive, no intent to avoid a tackle what so ever he just blatenly dived. But will tell you exactly what i think when i see it on SSN.
I laughed. Thank you N'Gog, thank you thank you thank you.
Such an intense game though. The pub I was in was a better atmosphere than how it seemed at Anfield on a foggy Monday evening!
He aint bad.
Why didnt he kick carsley on his way down.
Did look awfully like a dive to me having seen it again, but as people have said nobody appealed for it and the ref from his position thought it was. What were the players supposed to do.. say "oh no sorry, we're 2-1 down but hey, it wasn't a penalty at all sorry for the misunderstanding"? I don't think so. And as people have said you can't cast a judgement on the whole club over a single moment and a single player. Who's to say Ngog has ever dived before or ever will again. To me its high time we got a bit of luck, we've had nothing but bad luck since the beginning of the season if you ask me. We were knocked out of the Carling Cup by a blatant hand ball but it appears to have at least in part evened itself out.
Oh and aside from this, Ngog played amazingly well for a young guy who was filling in for arguably the best striker in europe today. I was happy for him, his goal looked alot like something Torres himself would've been proud of. I'm hoping thats a sign of Torres' influence rubbing off on him.
I love how fans views change when it comes to their own team.
cracking dive
FGS he clearly dived!
Hm sounds familiar. What were all the Liverpool fans saying when Eduardo dived? :$ There you go Robald :P
And it was a blatent hand ball? His hands were covering his head to protect his face. Look at it again. Even the pundits said that it was 50/50 and he was protecting his face. :rolleyes:
I think the reason many people had such a problem with Eduardo's dive was because people tried to excuse it because he supposedly did it to prevent injury.. that was my problem with it. If it's a dive, call it one.
If you think it was 50/50 then fair enough, but my opinion is that no matter the reason for it he touched the ball with both of his hands and denied a goal scoring opportunity. It went against us, we take it on the chin and move on.
Funny thing was No one claimed even ngog said after it it wernt a pen and he was jumping out of the way of the takle.
Made up he got a pen though.
'sing when am robbin i only sing when am robbin'
Yeah no one claimed for it, but i just cant believe how he went down, was shocking.
Anfield is always one of the best away games to go to. When ever we go there we are so loud. Did you here
'Rafas cracking up, hes cracking up, hes cracking up hes cracking!' (At 2-1)
Jeromes goal was amazing lol.
Yeh it was a great goal, he will never score another like it.

All world class players dive.

Missed gerrard off cos theres that many too choose from.
Btw what did Ngog get his card for in the end? If it was descent.. how does that work when he was being awarded for the foul?
I forgot to say, how tense was it exactly at the half hour mark - it was when we had like 7 successive shots and my heart just stopped for the whole time :P.
Oh OK, I thought he just walked away :P.
