Id say Thursday is on Rafas mind hence Kuyt and Lucas being rested as opposed to "benched"

where is the rage for the elbow in masch's face?

there was no elbow

there was a hand? maybe you get confused by anatomy?

stupid thing to do obviously but sure all we can ask of officials is consistency isnt it

Peyton Manning

Liverpool captain Stephen Gerrard intentionally smashes a player in the face with his elbow and gets away with it? It was Michael Brown?

Fúcking hero if you ask me.

I may be wrong but if you saw that in a Wolves - Burnley game you wouldn't give a fúck it's not justice you're looking for - I think you're blinkered by the fact that its "that Bóllocks Gerrard getting away with it again" mentality. He deserved a red, didn't get it, if the FA does it's job he'll get a ban end of.

you dont know me very well

I wouldnt be watching a burnley v wolves game:pac:

Getting close to the end. Nearly time for Rafa Interview Bingo. My words that you will definitely hear are 'quality', 'character' (more than once) and 'attitude'.

Mr Alan

pretty sure Brown and Gerrard have a history, but can't think of wat it is for the life of me

K-9

I blame Stevie for ruining the thread.

Brown probably kicked him in the back of the legs and kneed him in the back several times. But then he does that to every player he is marking in every game.

Stevie Starfish get sent off? Not going to happen.

Aquilani would be my man of the match but I also couldnt argue against Torres, with 2 goals and 2 assists.

Did anyone see that shocking elbow by Gerrard on Brown??????

:mad: :mad:

What did Michael Brown do?

What did Gerrard do?

90+3 min: Tonight's crowd is the lowest Premier League attendance at Anfield in three years. Bet they're glad they stayed away now. Reina saves from Owusu-Abeyie ...

Mr Alan

idiotic from gerrard, no doubt.

D'Agger

Good game - finally a performance of some distinction even if it was against Portsmouth. Maxi had a good first half, great to see Torres back to form and best of all - a powerhouse performance by Aquilani in midfield, he's finally arrived and hopefully he'll push on from here with similar performances in the future.

Our Club Captain ladies and gentlemen. What an irresponsible toss pot he has been this year. I hope the FA throw the book at him to be honest.

As I said last week. He is proving to be a little bitch.

IN fairness Brown threw his head at Gerrards elbow, Gerrard was lucky to get out of the way and barely brushed him imo

Sir Gallagher

Here's what Didier had to say about the Gerrard incident

Spare a thought for him and the Man utd fans worldwide who will be losing sleep over this tonight.

It was an elbow on michael brown, most people would see that as perfectly fair, brown has made a carrer out of it :D;)

Good memory. He was involved in a few dodgy moments against Liverpool. The spitting incident game against Sheffield United and the headbutting of Alonso when Brown was at Wigan spring to mind.

i agree with Archie actually, of course Gerrard should have been punished, absolutely stupid thing to do and the pool fans laughing about it wouldnt be so smug if the ref had done his job properly.

but his choice of player to smash pleases me

Brown is just a thug, nice to see him get a bit imo

He does things like that all the time. For the first time in his career, I applaud thee Stephen Gerrard.

Was he at Fulham for that? Either way it is just one of his many incidents when playing against Liverpool.

Fair enough, revenge is a dish best served late.

Aquilani has the most boring voice i have ever heard!

Reina sounds exactly like Rafa doesnt he?

Jazzy

ha sweet.

won 4 - 1 and got to see gerrard smash michael brown.


a good day

Dcully

Very silly from Gerrard but couldnt do it to a more deserving bloke, well unless it was Gary Neville

Headshot

I just seen the replays how the **** did the ref miss that

brown was totally right it should be 3 game ban

kryogen

if the ref says all he saw was a coming together and not the elbow then he gets the ban yeah

lol who cares how his voice is, hes not a fecking singer
Once his feet sing with a nice voice i dont care
He was magic tonight.

How can the FA act on this, if the ref didn't see it, why did he give a free kick, if the ref didn't think it was a card, how can the FA overrule him.
Although i wouldn't be surprised if taggart had a word during the week and the FA charged him

the usual liverpool v man united could be avoided here if you dont mind smipy mcsniperson

if the ref says he saw a coming together but not the elbow itself i am pretty sure the FA can review it

open to correction of course

It's about seeing the offence in question. He saw a coming together and gave a free kick. He has already said he didn't see the elbow. Therefore the FA can deal with it. Simples.

Regardless, Its typical Gerrard reaction. He obviously thought he was about to be attacked, and decided to get his retaliation in first. Wouldn't be the first time senior starfish has done that......

kryogen

i love Avram Grant

Mr Alan

niallo, there'd be no one to blame if gerrard gets a ban other than gerrard himself. no great loss anyway, wasn't great again tonight.

ShamoBuc

Not sure the usual UTD V pool can be avoided when they are both talking in pool match thread.

In fairness lads, there are very few players who wouldn't get a shot in in circumstances where it's warranted.

An old manager of mine used to say "a game may be 90 minutes, but an opportunity has years to present itself"

edit: No, the manager wasn't Roy Keane.

Jazzy

whats this starfish business about? im a bit slow

Mr Alan

i hate craig burley

kryogen

Aquilani impressed tonight

still have money on Lucas starting at OT however, but if Gerrard does get a ban in time for that game he may get the nid instead of him?

Ever seen him dive? Every time he does it he goes down with arms and legs akimbo. Like a starfish. It's not clever, but football fans usually aren't.

RasTa

I wasn't watching the game but was it worse then Rio's swing that got him the 4 game?

He had a few decent touches, linked up well for aquas goal, for me its either keep playing him or sell him, he will be up for the mancs next week.

I thought Gerrards link up play was fairly good just wasn't his night in front of goal so I think he would be a loss

Regarding Brown - he's a pikey but that doesn't excuse what Gerrard did - should've waited to see him in a nightclub before taking the law into his own hands imo
