Stunning! Kilbane dives and Gerrard is sent off.

LOL another Alan Green classic I assume. He really should not be allowed do commentary on Liverpools games. He just can not do a balanced commentary.

Gerrard chopped him down and deserved his Yellow. Kicking the ball away for his first was just plain stupid. Alonso is one bad/mistimed tackle away from an early bath too.

The 08 number is for Liverpool City of Culture 2008.

Why was Gerrard wearing 08 as his shirt number, and just noticed Beattie is as well???????????

This may have been mentioned before but i did not hear anything

It's to promote Liverpool's City of Culture thing for 2008, got special permission from the FA for them to wear it.

Sure the organising committee is delighted with Stevie G

This is a very messy derby. I'll be surprised if more aren't sent off.

Lol they probabaly are...........

Thanks for the reason

For those who are watching, are Everton players (Kilbane) going down very quickly?

Mike.

PHB

Kilbane doesn't dive.
The arm was up by Garcia and it whacked Kilbane in the face, you would have to have super tinted glasses not to see all the fouls on Kilbane as fouls.
HE is causing huge problems doing what he always does, runs at you, and you foul him. MOM so far.

I don't think so.

astrofool

not particularly. For instance garcia elbowed kilbane in the face outside the liverpool box, kilbane went down and got up sharp-ish enough. It was a free to Everton, but could have been a yellow/red for the elbow if Kilbane had wanted to make something of it.

Sissoku has got rid of the goggles again, gotta wonder why he's playing at all atm, it's in NO WAY worth the risk for him to play right now if he could go blind. (i know someone who wasn't able to play sports again after getting a detached retina)

Goal to liverpool(Neville).

mike65

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Philip Neville OG.

Did he know anything about it?

Flipping derbys.

Mike.

PHB

rofl, Phil neville og, rofl.
LIverpool are incredibly lucky to go in ahead, unreal.

The Muppet

Good man Phil

damienom

Just got deafened by Phil Neal and the muppet doing commentary online, very very impartial commentary, worth checking out

Green_Martian

I can't believe that.........Neville OG

Green_Martian

Wells its Half time and its 1 nil to liverpool.............

I personally think it should still be 0-0

RE*AC*TOR

Silly boy Gerrard.
Kinda funny that PN got the og.

Don't think Liverpool are doing great, Garcia has been particularly ineffective.

Would like to see Fowler or Mori on at some stage.

mike65

Rafa will have been working on a comtainment strategy I guess the goal makes his job easier, as he can play a defensive formation and then look for a breakaway goal as Everton get desperate and throw Big Dunc on. Trouble is no Cisse.

Think it should be 0-0 but I don't know about incredibly lucky, Everton have not dominated like they should since Liverpool went down to 10 men, second half will be a struggle, could see this ending up 1-1.

Gerrard derserved to go, he should not better at this stage then to kick the ball away, the second challange was very bad, in fairness to Kilbane he got straight back up after it didn't make a big deal of it (same with the Garcia challange), great to see a player who does not dive\cheat.

PHB

ha, everton are just stupid,
why the hell did wright come out for that?

Huge challenge for Everton now, Liverpool are gona lock up shop

mike65

I'm laughing out loud. Garcia does little and then scores a peach.

Mike.

MrJoeSoap

2-0, Crouch flicks it on to Garcia who knocks it past Wright.

galwaydude

garcia you beauty

galwaydude

any site i can get the commentry of the game,unfortunately my chinese is rubbish haha

MrJoeSoap

http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/

Click "listen live" in the top right corner.

mike65

Dont bother with that link, the Prem games have territory restrictions.

Mike.

PHB

Tim Cahill, when oh when is he gona get bought by a top club

MrJoeSoap

2-1, Cahill.

Sorry didnt realise that link didn't work. Stupid regulations.

mike65

Cahill. 2-1

Mike.

Guy:Incognito

This is bloody stupid. Getting a corner against Liverpool is like getting a Peno.

galwaydude

Gte some nob saying due to contractual oblogations they cannot stream the game on air, only on digital radio and TV. Im in the states so thats me screwed. Ah well Sopcast will have to do, good quality too.

MrJoeSoap

Yeah, the Five Live commentators are awful anyway. I was in the car for the first half and from what they were saying Gerrard was hard done by and Kilbane made a meal of it. Got home at half time and saw it on TV, and it was the complete opposite.

Definitely two yellow cards and Kilbane didn't do anything wrong.

Is there any way of fooling bbc that you are in UK. I dont have medium Wave or SKY.

mike65

There may be but not that i know of.

Liverpool free kick on the D, off the cross bar.

Mike.

MrJoeSoap

van der Meyde and The Tampon are on.

mike65

Kewell and Garcia with two near misses.

Mike.

Guy:Incognito

Did Garcia try to switch that to his right foot in fron tof goal before he was tackeld? bloody muppet. From 3 yards theres no excuse.

He did too, thats a disgrace. From there you just get contact in the direction of the goal.

galwaydude

anyone know whats the radio station john aldridge works for, i remember before i got a link which had the match commentry live.

MrJoeSoap

Never a straight red.

mike65

Van Der Mayde off!

Mike.

PHB

rofl, VDM, what the hell is he doing, Shearer eskque challenge there, very very harsh ref

fade2black

Straight red for that? You must be joking, giving into the pressure of the crowd to even the playing field methinks.

MrJoeSoap

Typical Dunc! Shoulder charge after the ball had gone!

Guy:Incognito

How bad is crouch in the air? Thats twice Cahill has beaten him for the last two corners.

Pretty awful once there's any sort of a challenge on him. Cahill is sensational in the air though.

PHB

what a screamer from Kewell, what the hell sort of defending is that from Everton

MrJoeSoap

3-1, Kewell screamer!!!

mike65

Kewelllllllllllllllllllllll!

Mike.

Guy:Incognito

HAHAHAHA Kewell you useless beauty. How much space did they give him.

"What a hit son. Ya don't save those"

PHB

Who had the bet on 3-1 for a ****load of money? They are about to get paided off

The Muppet

Vintage Kewell, Class finish.
