“One of the frustrating things on here is that the likes of TOOR defend their players regardless”

Oh so true.

He’s someone who will say things like ‘you can’t raise your hands’, as if it’s in the rule book, just to justify a certain standpoint.

If it’s a Liverpool player then he’ll use that to defend his player and if not, he’ll use it to do the opposite. Making up the rules as he goes along to suit a certain narrative.

Although I must say, the idea that Kane doesn’t exaggerate contact is absolutely not correct - I’ve seen him do it a lot... most players in the league do now. I’d certainly say Salah is one of the worst for it though.

Think there is a fair chance most strikers go down easily on occasions. In the bigger picture getting the 3 points in the modern game has become simply too important and will influence players ( particularly if you factor in win bonuses ) but where Pool move the goal posts is when they act so hypercritically, Won't have a word said against Salah ( who is surely the current worst offender ) but will vilify all other clubs as cheats.
Prime example of this was our 2-2 draw at Anfield last year. Six months on from the game they were STILL referring back to our penalty decisions ( both actually correct ) as cheating.
Every supporter should accepted diving, or should I say "influencing" does go on in the modern game. Years ago we just saw such things abroad, but is now unfortunately within our game here.

I wasnt saying Kane never exaggerates contact. He does like probably every other striker. And sometimes he initiates that contact, like many others. What he doesnt do that i have seen is just fall over with no contact.

I wish players were all more honest but they're not.

What is funny is that this exaggeration is widespread in the league and so they're all at it. Most fans will admit this of their own players and because they're all at it it seems no big deal.

Some fans will not admit it, focusing only on others to deflect attention.

Didn't Kane dive without contact this year?

Granted, I don't actually think that he's that bad - but he has done it.

I see TOOR has created a wum article, less than a week after him and his friends cried for several days about my supposed wum article.

Yeah, I doubt they crowd about a wum article. Probably more to do with you being you and continuing on and on and on and having to have the last word.

Oh look who popped up. One of the gang.

Dry your eyes mate.

That's why you and your gang all follow me around to have a pop.

And here you are again...

Bless.

"So I can't comment on an article you are on?"

Where did I say that?

I'm just laughing at you following me around, waiting for me to say something that you can have a good old cry about.

Here you are again...

Why three?

I'll name this one.

What else brought you here, other than me?

Bless you - affected by someone you've never met... so much so you can't leave me alone.

One of the frustrating things on here is that the likes of TOOR defend their players regardless. Yes, the statement that Salah throws himself to the floor to win pens at every opportunity is not accurate but you focus on demanding proof of this statement, and not on the fact that actually Salah dives and exaggerates contact a lot, and yet you do not condone it.
-----‐---------
Err mistaken identity. I didnt demand proof of anything. In fact I stated that Salah goes to ground when he sees the opportunity. So in actual fact I said the opposite of what you're claiming. I blatantly called Salah out for his dove when he wasnt fouled and stated he should have been carded. What I wont do is call him out for diving when fouled whilst everybody else is doing it and referees don't give fouls without the dive.

You followed me onto this article.

I called you out on it.

You're now having a good cry.

Hope this helps.

Depends what I do on the article, doesn't it?

If I come on with the sole intention of crying my eyes out about what you've written and you in general then yes, you may point that out.

But seeing as I never do that, it isn't going to happen.

Unlucky
