Here's another point of contention we should not avoid just because we are Liverpool fans. David Moyes has accused Suarez of deliberately stamping on Distain and says he deserved to be sent off.
Now, how many think he did so intentionally? We all know he has a checkered past having bitten someone before amongst his usual antics like diving. Given his past, I find it plausible but unlikely. He dives and flops around but I'm not sure he's malicious.
It was a clear cut foul when both players were chasing for the ball, caught the foot of Distin and a yellow card offense at most. Stamping? No way! I'm not even bias here. Look at the Huth and Suarez incident. That was intentional stamping.
As usual, best way to divert the controversy of Neville's diving, is to focus on your rival's misdoing.

I think he panics and bottles it the linesman. The linesman still didn't have his flag up when Suarez has turned away to start celebrating. You can see that Suarez is definitely not offside , the linesman is in line and in a great position. He just puts his hand up after Distin and Osman argue. I think he has bottled it. I think he panicked and bottled it. FFS!
The sort of decisions demotivates fans and players to even have a respect on the refs these days. I'd rather see refs talking fourth official, seeing the replay and decide on the situation rather than panicking and making wrong decisions.
Big match requires big officials. If he's the inexperience type, then he shouldnt be handling this match at all. No excuses from the FA. This is clearly a big disappointment in the game of football.
People were hard on diving issues, players cheating, etc. Personally, I find it more distasteful that officials keep creating controversy with dodgy decisions. It's the talk of every season. This is more serious than diving.
