intresting points, however obstructing/impeding a players run would result in an indirect freekick, and not a penalty, from what I understand of teh rules.

What a complete load of claptrap. “what if’s” and just because Liverpool didn’t have the ability to score Darren doesn’t make it right to dive. Carsley did make a clean tackle,he didn’t take the man and ngog was a clear yard away before he threw himself to the floor. Why not have every player throw himself to the ground every time a tackle is about to be made, because every tackle has the chance of being mistimed and a player being injured.

a balanced view and quite refreshing. It was quite annoying to see everyone jump on the ngog bandwagon, ignited by espn focusing solely on this incident and nothing of the most one sided match you will EVER see! What was particularly annoying was carsley condemning ngog. yes, ngog simulated, but carsley is supposedly an experienced pro, so why wasnt he castigating himself for diving in. its not even as if he pulled back at the last minute. yet again we have the scenario of what if, but what punishment does carlsey get if he breaks ngogs leg? ngog gets called brave for staying on his feet but it does little to help his career, does it, when he is sat on the sidelines watching other players get the chance he should have had.
