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.

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      By zikalify · Posted

      Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups by Paul Hill Fears that increasing government control of social media risks regulatory capture by the biggest social media firms were raised again recently. Bluesky’s chief operating officer said in an interview that social media bans for children and tighter regulations for social media firms risk creating a world where there are only a few social media platforms run by companies with the deepest pockets. Regulations on social media firms have been very lax since they appeared for mainstream users in the 2000’s. This gave Meta, Snapchat, and Google time to build up their user bases and get entrenched, with Meta being the most successful. Now that Meta has succeeded, it has been attempting regulatory capture. By pushing for more regulations of social media, Meta hopes to make it more difficult for rivals to challenge it. For its part, it doesn’t need to worry about the cost of regulation because it has a lot of money to spend, whereas startups do not. Speaking to CNBC, Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said: “I support the protection and the safety of youth, the question that we have then is at what cost, because essentially what I’m scared of is in the long term, we’re headed to a world where there’s about three to five platforms, and extreme heavy regulation of those platforms, and basically the whole compliance teams of these platforms are 10 times the size of our entire team. So, basically, we’re living in a world where it’s almost impossible for smaller entrants to come in and build healthier spaces. These platforms have led to a place where the bottom line is the thing that drives what they do... so I understand why governments have to step in and regulate, because the platforms have done nothing right.” She said that while she is not against regulation, there needs to be more channels between the small to mid-sized players and regulators to help protect them. She says that big tech players, on the other hand, “who we know are circumventing regulation,” need to be regulated. Essentially, the Bluesky position is one of nuance, rather than absolutes. While Bluesky’s proposal may preserve competition in the social media space, it still doesn’t address the massive privacy implications these age verification measures introduce, such as handing over sensitive identity documents to access age-gated content.
