Liverpool kept their Premier League title chase on track at the expense of the relegation-threatened Bluebirds on Sunday with a 2-0 win in south Wales.

Gini Wijnaldum gave the visitors the lead before James Milner doubled the advantage from the spot after Salah was brought down in the area.

Warnock, however, was not amused with the decision and hit out at the Egypt star for going to ground too easily.

“Once again, one or two things have gone against us, but I’m always like that, aren’t I?” the Cardiff manager fired to talkSPORT.

“There would be a lot of penalties in matches if you give things like that. It’s a soft penalty.

“At the end of the tugging, the theatrics of the dive were a solid 9.9. It’s a Tom Daley job, that.”`

That contentious penalty call was not the only decision to meet with the veteran manager's disapproval.

“It’s not just the [Liverpool] penalty, I think we should’ve had a penalty after half-time," he added.

“When you look at the way [Andy] Robertson’s pulled his shirt, all of the television pundits say it’s a penalty by the letter of the law.

“But they get away with it. They say the sun might’ve been in the linesman’s eyes.”

Defeat to Liverpool means that Cardiff remain in serious danger of dropping down to the Championship next season.

The Welsh club lie three points adrift of Brighton out of the relegation zone, with the Seagulls also enjoying a game in hand.

But Warnock insisted that his side would keep fighting to the bitter end.

“I can’t ask my players to give any more than what they’re giving,” he said.

“The fans have been amazing and I’m really pleased that we put in a performance today. We didn’t want to sit back, we wanted to be positive and I thought we were.

“We’re playing against a brilliant side. There’s not a weakness in that side. So to take them as far as we could, I think it was a fabulous performance.”

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige...

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission ...
