The defender only has himself to blame as the ref is clearly looking at him but he still tries to give our skipper a loving embrace which was duly declined!

IMO what you are saying there puts into words everything that is going wrong in our beautiful game. That you for some reason have a right to point out to the ref that you have been fouled by dropping to the ground.
Because the thing is that the rules say nothing about whether or not the players attempt to foul his opponent has any effect. It is still a foul. So what has become an unwritten rule, if a may put it that way, is that you play on if your opponents attempts to foul you do not effect your play.
What we started seeing some years ago was players, particularly in Italy it seemed, started to throw them selves to the ground, more often then not screaming in pain, to try to affect the outcome of the game. This was widely disliked. In recent times it seems that it is even a players job to try to get a penalty or a freekick and it becoming " a part of the game "
What we saw Gerrard do on Saturday was taking an opportunity to lure the defender into a trap. It worked and the ref had no choice.
What else could he have done you may ask.
Well IMO what he should have done is he should have continued his run despite the arm being out. In all likelihood the defender would have done his best to mark Gerrard in a legal way, or kept his arm out and fouled him in which case the ref would have given a penalty.
What Gerrard did had nothing to do with football and everything to do with dishonest conduct that is ruining the game that we love.Comment
