Kane & Ali - Diving ?

How come nothing is being discussed regarding this ? Are people just trying to sweep it under the carpet ?

Yesterday, both players blatantly dived, the ref waved his arms to play on, yet did not book either of them.

Kane has had two instances in the last two games, in the box, and he has others around the edge of the area.

I find it very disappointing that the fans on here who were creating mass hysterics about Mohammed Salah and were also saying that VAR would cost LFC, yet where are these same fans now ? Why aren't we discussing Harry Kane and Deli Ali at all ?

Kane has gotten himself a reputation now, and all refs will be reluctant to award him pens in the future.

It's subjective how you feel about it. As neo says a tactical foul at the right time is a good thing. God knows how many times I've shouted foul him if we're being broken on.

I Don't like blatant diving, or feigning being hurt when nothing has happened and would slate any red who does it. But a good foul, or a striker inviting a tackle to get a free or pen for me is all part of the game, annoying when it happens against you of course but I wouldn't be going mad about it.

Like take a corner or a free into the box, people stepping on toes, roughing up the person they're marking it's technically a foul but it happens at every level of the game and always had, it's part of it.

Well no, it isn't.

It's against the rules and the very definition of cheating is behaving unfairly in order to gain an advantage.

If you don't mind it and you think it's part of the game then honestly, it's fair enough - but you can't deny it's cheating when it's literally the definition of cheating!

I do see where you're coming from I just think blatant cheating and a tactical foul are not the same thing.

Diving is dreadful and as bad as someone falling to the floor pretending they were headbutted to get someone sent off that's the worst for me.

Kane’s both incidents were def fouls and outside the box 100% gets given

Sooooooooo over diving at this point.

But I will say that you can dive whilst being fouled

Seen it a few times whetr a player has been fouled but their theatrics has led the ref to go the other way

Agree the decisions not to give them were laughable
