That’s like comparing going in hard to going in over the top. Some things are part of the game and players accept it. Other things aren’t acceptable which is why opposition players get so enraged by diving.

Players get enraged by diving and then surround the ref when one of their team mates goes down easy at the other end.
 
The thing is the stats simply don't back that up. In the premier League this season the most fouled player has been Glen Murray who has won 70 free kicks or penalties. Salah is in 89th place and has won 25 free kicks or penalties in 35 games.
We are not talking about most fouled here..we are talking cheating going down in the area....very nice stats btw.....
 
Sound. You look at videos and that and dont see a player diving with no contact. I do.

I seem to remember Salah getting booked for diving once when there was no contact but I would say most of the time he goes down after there is contact.
 

It pains me to defend them and attack fellow supporters but there has to be some limits. Posters shouldn't be allowed to post things that simply aren't true or worse inflammatory. It just becomes a race to the bottom. As you say they are doing well and it is hard to find ways of poking fun at them. That though shouldn't allow this thread to become a 'I hate them the most competition'.

If you look at my post history I didn't post in this thread at first but since calling out a liar in here any post I make in other threads just results in accusations of being a kopite. Surely it should be possible to act as a Devil's advocate on GOT without accusations of being a kopite.

Personally I think it is important to point out when some of the more vocal posters are posting half truths or downright lies. I also think it does us no favours as a fan base to allow certain individuals to continually propagate ridiculous conspiracy theories.
Mate if you are a true Everton supporter the sky is blue and Kopites are gobsh*tes.

Heysel, Saurez biting, Saurez racism, T-shirt protests, Stevieee Mees assault charges, relocating Anfield residents to build big stand fc, faux rivalries with anyone whom dare challenges them and the typical poohousey behaviour from there players.

They earnt there reputation
 

CBA digging them out, but other players are described as "diving", Sala routinely "Goes down easily"

Its the same kinda distinction that Sterling highlighted, (though not as important) when he pointed out when the Mail described a young white player buying his mum a house as a good deed, the young black player did the same and was described as flash and all that is wrong with football.

Kinda how you choose to read stuff.

Unfortunate typo there.

.
As the self appointed and robed Thread Cocky Watchman (TCW for powerpoint purposes) though, may I respectfully offer to you the thought that hes that versatile and forward thinking (geddit ?), hes often going down before any contact whatsoever.
