KDB dive

Page 1 of 9

He did get kicked, though. I'm curious where we draw the line these days. Maybe it's different in the box? Cos I want to believe that's not a free kick in midfield.. though it is technically a foul it's also a contact sport still

It was a Salah special, for sure.

Why compare KDB and Salah in the first place

Not seen a replay yet but I hope it was a dive.

it was and a calculated dive too...

Just beggars belief how the official does not see that KDB was always going to go down...

Honestly, officials are not fit to ref the games...

Clear Dive Boris, the player even withdrew his leg but given how Robinson and Tete kept making nasty ankle fouls and last minute lunges to break up play I don’t feel sorry for them at all.

Sort of thing Kane does every week. In real time it doesn’t look like a dive so not sure why you are having a go at the ref.

Haven’t seen a replay, anyone got a link?

Think that’s a dive, rubbish defending and a pen all with the same time.

KDB is a great player though, Salah is a couple season wonder

Yeah tough one to call. That's a foul especially with var involved

I think it’s pretty easy to see he dived and should have been booked for simulation.

dude, even in real time, watching it on a stream, and knowing this was last min of extra time, I knew what KDB was going to try.

Why are the refs so clueless? They should get refs who are ex-players. Just makes a mockery of how well does official know about the game.

Probably they are given a handbook that says what is football and that's all they know

But he was fouled..

posted on 5/11/22

Being touched isn’t a foul.

posted on 5/11/22

Simulation is pretending you've been fouled. It doesn't cover this situation.

posted on 5/11/22

That’s exactly what he did.

There's the rub and the root of my issue with var. You can't remove subjectivity from refereeing. Slightly harder contact and there's no debate here.

Yes it is.

Dinitri Berbatov said "If there's contact I'm entitled to go down"

Guess who he was playing for at the time.

That's a con artist talking...

I am entitled? you mean you are entitled to try to cheat?

I think it was actually after he had won United a penalty against Spurs.

And this is the issue with all these cheating priiiicks and the refs that enable them. What’s worse is that ‘contact’ elsewhere on the pitch usually isn’t deemed a foul. But in the box, where the consequence of deciding it is a foul is so much worse than a free kick, seemingly is with a lot of officials. It’s so moronic that it hurts my head.

Berbatov talking shiiiiit doesn’t make it so.

The foul they're calling here is the standard 'impeding an opponent with contact'. There's definitely contact. Was he impeded? Not much for sure but he kicks the standing foot while on the turn. I think the defender knows he's done a foul there. It's soft but not outrageous or anything.
