Cheeky penalty. Well done Reading

ilovelamp2000

Definite peno, and it was exceptionally well taken.

No more than they deserve to be honest

Kess73

Damn.


Oh well 30 more mins of a game that has been pretty good to watch:D


Still think this will be a LFC win.

flahavaj

Balls of steel.

100% deserved by the gallant Reading.

mike65

That was no peno.

blatant dive. Ah well.

Arsenal but Reading have been magnificent tonight, really hope it goes to pens

Lucas and Babel to score in extra time.

noodler

Very soft penalty, the only thing that will stop the public outcries of dive is the fact Benny did actually touch him.

No more than they deserve of course.

we just cant see a game out anymore..........ridiculous

Ridiculous to give a penalty for something so soft at such an important moment, but very well executed Berbapenalty. Not a dive, as there was contact, but it's not as black and white as it either being a dive or a penalty.

Quite enjoyed this game despite it all.

Birmingham fans will afford themselves a wry smile at the latest developments at Anfield.

Swings and roundabouts.

Fully deserved though the penalty wasn't. Reading could snatch this.

ShamoBuc

The right result but we need to push on a bit and put a team away - for a change

Holsten

Dive... ugh.

Hopefully Aquilani can smash one in and send reading packing.

Babel as well, step up man!

Brewster

Lads, it was a penalty. I don't support either team. Reading player gets a touch on ball and pool player clips his ankle. It was a foul and a penalty

Ah I just had €10 on it. Had some cash left in my PP account.

I can't believe people are claiming it's not a penalty. Yossi kicked him on the achilles!! He didn't mean to, but he did. It's a clear peno!!!

RasTa

Stonewall peno on the replay there.

magma69

Penalty was a bit harsh but Reading deserved to get a goal back anyway. Another shameful performance from Liverpool but not taking away from Reading. They put in a tremendous performance. Another nerve wracking thirty minutes lies ahead. C'mon the Pool. Give us fans something to be optimistic about ffs.

Well this is the game that has convinced me Benitez has to go. That's his team out there, his signings and his (non-existant) tactics and the lot of them together will take the club nowhere. Reading have been the better team, had the better chances and the worst thing is that I'm not surprised. The team is sleep-walking through games with no passion, belief or creativity.

It's strange that a game that they'll most likely win has been the turning point for me, especially considering some of the defeats this season.

Looks like I got one thing wrong - I was an idiot to think they'd win.

Strange that Benitez's path at Liverpools is following Houllier's so closely. Second place in their biggest league campaign, with genuine belief that their team would go on to challenge next season, only to collapse and fail to even qualify for the Champions League - which is looks like Rafa's shower will do now.

mike65

Skrtel on for Degan

Oh yeah, some Royals were leaving about 15 mins before the goal. Boy they must be sick.

eagle eye

I'm backing Reading to do this in extra time based on the way they finished the game. Liverpool have been nothing short of dire.

jesus lads, there's being partisan and then there's being silly. It was foul in the box, and while the player may have gone down easy it was a definite foul and a definite penalty.

It was a dive. He was touched, but it was a dive all the same.

Just saying.

I always condemn diving when United players do it, which unfortunately is far too often. Blight on the game.

So no need for a contest. Just balance.

Haven't seena replay, but certainly it looked soft as hell at the very least.

I think it was too albeit a very soft one

Which one are you being then? There was contact but the contact was a tap, very light tap BTW in the heel, not impeding the player in any way. Definite pen??? I have seen plenty of touches like that being acknowledged by the ref and not given in the middle of the pitch let alone in the box.

Eire-Dearg

I saw a penalty.

Tonights was a stonewall pen, the one against birmingham was not, there is only one wrong in those two incidents

all this threading the ball $hite through a big crowd wrecks my head.....

That_Guy

Close from Babel.

Thanx 4 The Fish

Unlucky from Babel there, decent turn and shot.

Fromvert

It was a peno for me.

Quick gambling question. Anytime goalscorer, does it include extra time or is it just 90 mins?
