With Salah not getting decisions, I'm reminded of the title challenge season with Suarez. Exactly the same thing was happening, Suarez kept getting fouled and not getting penalties, it was absolutely ridiculous. I can remember one incident where O'Shea clearly clipped Suarez, it was a blatant penalty, then O'Shea has the brass neck to jump up and down and point at Suarez complaining about diving. Suarez getting rugby tackled by Lescott in the penalty area in the last minute in a title-deciding game away at City, nothing given. All the while Gareth Bale was flinging himself all the over the place and not a word is said.
Outrageous, and it all stemmed from Fergie having one look at Suarez, thinking he's going to be a problem, and labeling him a diver. The same thing with Salah, he's too good, so he gets labeled as a diver despite Kane being many times worse, so the press starts their "diving" campaign and the officials can start denying Liverpool obvious decisions. I don't think it's wholly a racist thing, it's also related to the club. I'd be fascinated to see what would happen to the foul stats for someone like Grealish or Kane is they signed for us, they'd plummet as if off a cliff.
