I wonder if Ngog's blatant dive will get him and Liverpool as much bad press as Arshavin's Eduardo's (I didn't type Arshavin, honest) did earlier this year. Why do I doubt that it will ^_^ Liverpool were lucky to get a point really, and I'd be worried if I supported them.

Are you referring to Eduardo's dive against Celtic in the CL? If so, in my opinion N'Gog's dive was just as bad if not worse and he fully deserves to be punished for it. And you are right, I am worried our form is a real cause for concern at the moment :(

what happened to this thread! I go away for 2 hours and its like handbags at dawn :p :rofl:

Not to worry, the Ignore button should have solved that problem. As we have 2 Chelsea fans that seem to be on this forum for the sole reason of flaming Liverpool fans and causing trouble, it's the only way forward :p at least most of the members that post in this thread like to talk about Football :p

You clearly didn't watch the match or/and you know nothing about football :)

I think the comment is about the way the draw was earnt to be fair, and he has a point the penalty was pretty soft. Although the game was dominated, and we where probably good value for the point, in the long term the current difficulty in securing results is pretty concerning.

@Frank: Spot on. I'm not saying Liverpool weren't the better side (you were playing Birmingham, let's be fair :p) and I'm not saying you wouldn't have scored some other way, all I'm saying is the second goal which gave you the point was a bit ... well, it's a damn good argument for video replays xD

Fair enough then, I interpreted you wrongly. Sorry.

We did dominate though. I think we ended up with 78% possession and 600 odd completed passes to Birmingham's low 100 odd. Crazy.

Just backs up my argument about lack of effective firepower, converting dominance into results. Injuries, and ownership by 2 morons that are intent on having a ride at the expense of LFC the overriding issues here

FYI my own mother supports Chelsea,

Don't I recall you saying that a true fan supports the club of his/her family? Hmmmmm. It's good to see another Chelsea fan here, and fyi I have never once said that I don't think Drogba dives. Every team has them, but because Chelsea are actually good it is put on a pedestal. He earns his paycheck, that's all I can say.

Can't everyone just, y'know, get along a little? :p A mod's taken his time to clean the thread up, wouldn't it be nice to have a BPL thread that's about the BPL, and not just a reality TV show of Greg vs Frank/Martyn? :p

I'm not trying to get anyone hacked off, but it's been less than a day and I can see where the thread is headed if you just pick up where you left off ;)

God knows how hard I tried to stay out of this.. but here we go :pinch:

Every team has them, but because Chelsea are actually good (at diving) it is put on a pedestal. Oh so that's what he gets paid for.. diving.. wow, I tht he's a striker but he actually gets paid for playing "diveball" instead of football?

I think I saw a ''dive of the century'' on BBC sports news this morning.

The referee was looking straight at the situation and he must be blind or a scouser as that was a dive not a penalty.

I think Ngog will get a ban and the referee should be moved to Sunday league referee'ing.

The old argument:

Bring in video replays

Lost count of how many times I have said that :rofl:

Agree to that 100%

I can't understand why not? FIFA's/UEFA's arguments against this seem nothing more than nonsense to me frankly.. Can't the FA implement it in the local leagues/ cup matches on their own?

The problem is that most sport centres around peoples livelihoods and bad decisions can dramatically alter teams or players careers . There are times in rugby when video referees decisions can take too long but as a rule it seems to work pretty well.

I would be 100% in favour of using this technology in football. Offside rulings and in the penalty area are the two I would target.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Case_f · Posted

      My problem with these smart scopes is that IMO they're not really an entrance into astronomy, they're an entrance to looking at pretty(ish) pictures that you take by essentially pressing a button and letting the scope do the work. I still maintain that getting some binoculars or a solid dedicated telescope (which doesn't have to mean expensive) and actually spending time learning the night sky and using a telescope is a much better way to actually learn. But, granted, the learning curve is a bit steeper (as it tends to be).

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By Legend20 · Posted

      The perception of Microsoft Edge is unfortunate as it's a world class browser. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best browser I've ever used with its feature set, speed, reliability and advanced security. Running the extension Ublock Origin is a must though to deal with advertising and trackers.
