    Does it stop diving or fighting or spitting?

    Liverpool are again forever the victims. Robertson cleaned DCL out just before this and I’ve not seen anyone complain about an England star being potentially hurt.

    VVD has his knee straight and standing foot planted solid. That’s why the injury. In real time there was hardly even any appeal. Keepers come out and throw themselves all the time. It’s a dangerous game. Just cos he’s the best doesn’t mean no one can lay a glove on him.

    FA have said no action. Liverpool as a club agree but now it’s fans that want the game to go softer.

    New offside and handball rules are a far bigger problem to football than a clash in the box.

    I’m sure Pickford apologised to him between themselves, not sure why it has to be public tbh

    To be fair I’m ok with Pickford, a keeper going down risking injury to himself.

    It’s still the divers that piss me off.

    Buddy I’ve answered your singular question but you seem to have digressed adding more but, I’ll answer them too.

    All three you mention do not offer what could potentially became a career ending tackle so in reality they pale into insignificance as towards what PIckford did, in badly injuring a player and putting him out of action for a few months.
