Sterling has form for being basically a bit of a cunt on and off the pitch already, so hardly a surprise, though he should be very embarrassed about this one.
I shudder any time one of our players goes to ground easily and am thankful that we're not actually that bad generally.
Spurs are probably the worst in England for diving, but even they'd struggle to pull off one like last night's that in hindsight, you have to laugh at. Absolutely fucking useless officials :o)

Firstly he didnt deliberately kick the turf, he went to dink it and cocked it up.
Secondly, name me one defender who has said to a ref - no is was a penalty when it wasnt given.
People blatantly cheat all the time in football but you want to call him out for falling over?
If it was anyone other than Sterling we would only be taking about the ref.

It was embarrassing, but he didn't cheat.
A defender tripping a striker but keeping quiet when ref says no penalty, that's pretty common and the defender doesn't get expected to own up.
Like I said, I'm split, because I'd want our players to own up if they had done it... But I still think Sterling doesn't deserve the stick he's getting... For not telling ref

Pee Wee, it's not like he felt the defenders foot brush him and then dived, he literally kicked the turf and tripped himself up, defender never touched him, I would be embarrassed if that was me

When was the last time you saw a defender admit it was a foul when a blatant penalty wasn't given? - it doesn't happen.
For that reason I don't think Sterling deserves any stick for not owning up. It's not his job.
The ref and penalty box ref shouldn't work again. Not just in football, but anywhere, ever.
All that said, if one of our players did it, I'd want them to own up.

Didn’t Robbie Fowler tell a ref it wasn’t a pen at Highbury one night? Liverpool still took it and scored
As said these behind goal refs (spectators) are pointless Bring in VAR FFS
