where is gerrard's yellow??

There's a difference between questioning a decision and questioning the decision maker.

After the first yellow card, we saw Mascherano wasn't happy. He wasn't happy with the ref and you could see him telling the ref to 'f off' etc.., giving him evil eyes, laughing at the decision etc..

That came back to haunt him and imo, that's why he got the second yellow. As soon as he came over he was asking for trouble. The fact he stayed in the refs face and demanded answers shows a complete lack of control and discipline.

Rooney quite often deserves a yellow and gets away with it... not our problem... but most of the time he's angry with himself or angry with the decision..

He's an english hero... gets the same treatment as gerrard does and as shearer used to get also.

You'll have to show me the exact law but constantly questioning a ref's descision especially when the descision has nothing to do with you and maybe he used foul language we don't know?

If you show me a law that shows what the ref did was wrong i'll hold my hands up

The fact tt there is no law banning it is enough to show that it is not outside the laws of the game.

Torres must be careful too now BTW, could be gone too the way the ref is playing it.

Bennett must have a nice piar of blinkers on if he cant see Ronaldo falling over those blades of grass all day.

he didnt get booked for dissent, the second card was for abusive language.

Quite calmly (as in the case of this yellow) questioning a referee about his decision is not dissent regardless of the colour of your manc glasses.

But running 15 yards to question something which he was not involved in is

Your joking aren't you?? Rio was booked for kicking the ball away???

BTW Anyway who knows me will know I dislike Liverpool more than Utd, however I don't like to see a potentially good game ruined by inconsistent refereeing

Yes .... kicking the ball away is descent ... Mach got sent off for a bad tackle and yes descent ....

After the midweek players mouthing off were always going to be in trouble if you saw the cameras on Mach he was mouthing the whole game after getting the yellow correct decision. Remember this is the same ref that sent Ronaldo off twice and yes once for descent after a booking for a dive that was in fact a fouls so move on...

Anyone on a yellow should be afraid to breathe with this ref!

well with the massive lack of common sense why should al start applying some

If he had called him something then he should have been off for foul and abusive.

We could have had a decent game if the ref wasn't such a twat, lets hope the ref doesn't ruin the next game.

maybe the sending off is all part of a great tactical masterplan from Benetiz

Looks like Rooney injured himself in that last attack, hopefully it's nothing too serious

EDIT: just as I post he almost sets Tevez up

brilliant third goal & celebration.

possibly the best celebration in the current game?

Reina is having David James spell at Liverpool, i.e. can't get near a cross, Reina was at fault for first two goals really.

Nice goal by Nani, poor play by Gerrard though

Thanx 4 The Fish

great strike. Bit of luck involved there, shame that Masch was sent off. United were probably going to win it at 1-0 anyway, sending off means that we have a bit of an out with that awful sending off.

vorbis

how can you blame Reina for Ronaldo's goal????

Alsonso didn't track him well at all. It would have been some save if Reina had got to the ball first. It was a good bit from goal when Ronaldo headed it.

Torres biggest contribution was his part in getting Mascharano sent off :eek:

I cant wait for the post match interview where Rafa blames the ref for his team being outclassed by Utd. Happens everytime

mike65

*shruggs* The Everton game is what matters now. Liverpool could have upset Utds progress, not won the league so its a game to wipefrom the memory bank.

A lesson mind, wonder if the dissent issue will be one for the next game. When terry gets all up in the refs face today (as he alwasy does) will he be sent off, I doubt it.

Villain

Chelsea

Reina should have go to both crosses first with a fist too slow to move off his line, or stay on the line and try and save the header but by coming off his line and not getting to the ball he left an open goal.

T4TF, of course he wont get sent off....he'll get a yellow card
