Watch the replay at about 45 seconds in. It’s pretty conclusive – he collapsed without contact.

most of us have a full brain, thus helping us see the dive. Maybe that’s what you’re missing?

How can any guy with half a brain conclude that it is a dive from this unclear video? You liverpool and stevie g haters need to get a life. the minute you have a tiny bit of anything, you jump to trash talk stevie. lol, well if it makes you sleep at night. sad lot, the bunch of you.

Sorry, but this video is inconclusive. There may be other film that shows no contact and then you’d be closer to showing it was a dive but in the meantime, this video was the evidence provided and it’s not sufficient.

Note that I am not defending Gerrard or any other diver but noticing that most times, claims of diving aren’t properly substantiated. It’s in fact quite difficult to show conclusively that a player dived.

Liverpool fans are the most blinkered lot around. It’s well known that stevie starfish is a serial diver, as is bruno torres. I think the refs are getting wise to the hypocrite, now we just need the media to follow suit, but i won’t hold my breath!

Not sure how guys can stick up for Gerrard there. Plenty of camera angles show he wasn’t touched at all and simply dived.

Its funny how we protect the British players, Ngog was completely slaughtered for his dive against Birmingham but Gerrard is just kind of waved away like nothing happened. We all know its not the first time he’s dived either yet foreign players get lambasted if they dive.

Looks like desperate times are calling for desperate measures at Liverpool.

LOOK, HE DIVED!

It was so bad that none of the Liverpool players bothered to appeal.

No one made any serious appeal for a penalty — I don’t think that’s necessarily conclusive here, but it certainly doesn’t help the case of the people saying “LOOK HE DIVED!!”
