Less of the attitude thanks.

The point is the two incidents were similar, I thought that was pretty obvious from the statement.

Attitude? You brought up some silly thing related to City for an incident that was nothing like it to try and get a dig in at people. Thats the poor attitude.

Mr.Nice Guy

Valencia looking very dangerous. Nice to see.

kryogen

oh!!

thats a chance, wish it had been Rooney

Peyton Manning

Argh, wrong player. If that was Rooney.....

PHB

Park ya gotta do better, seriously.

Aidric

Anyone but Park. Jesus.

kenon

Ahhh Park!! Great chance.

Thanx 4 The Fish

Never a peno but Mascherano should have been off, and would most likely have been if a free was given. So i don't think Liverpool are any worse off than they would have been if the right decision had been made.

Dunno about the sending off, looked like he would have been caught by any of the several defenders nearby.

Great cross there by Valencia, Park should have tested the keeper, defence should have been closer to him too.

kryogen

does Torres ever stop bitching?

he is actually worse the Ronney

MagicMarker

Torres won't be finishing this game.

Mr.Nice Guy

Finally Torres gets a yellow.

Peyton Manning

Brilliant.

Torres accuses him of diving.

So we can add hypocrite to the list now.

Jesus Wept

Fernando needs to chill the **** down.

Raskolnikov

Good game so far. Torres looks like he can score everytime he gets the ball. As for United, they look afraid of the big occasion.

kryogen

more sht from Torres, the bad side of his childish personality really comes out in big games

Thanx 4 The Fish

No, he is always at it, is annoying TBH, particularly when he is playing badly, booked now, fully deserved, Andy Gray says unlucky, I disagree.

mike65

Torres yellow

McGrath5

Torres not playing nice, a yellow card for his troubles.

PHB

Torres now should be off, as he shoulda been booked for dissent.

OMFG< THE REF NEVER GIVES ANYTHING FOR UNITED> HE IS CLEARLY IN THE REFS POCKET

Definite red card for a Liverpool player today I reckon.

Happy enough tbh, Webb chickened out of the sending off because he gave the peno, he probably would have got out the red card if he'd also given the correct decision of a free outside the box. Two bad decisions but all in all prefer to lose the goal that a man for 80 mins.

Very unlucky for Reina that the save bounced so kindly for Rooney.

There were other players around him not last man back. Valencia diving again

Jako8

Calm down Torres!

yayamark

come on Valencia doing a sit down protest

Torres will have to cop on

quarryman

Used to have a lot of respect for torres as a player but he really has turned into a petulent mouthy little whinger.

Dirty from Torres

Irritating attempt at point scoring on your behalf. Why bother?

Point scoring? I was stating that this sort of thing happens all the time and now Pool fans are another set who know what it feels like to be wronged by it.

There was no dig. It's easier to empathise with a situation if you have been on the receiving end of it, that was the point.

And yes, the incidents were similar.

Not everyone is out to get you. Defensive much?

Peyton Manning

Get up Paddy.

Both teams trying to out-be-a-twat each other at the moment.

kryogen

who is the favorite for first pool player to get sent off?

Thanx 4 The Fish

Another good ball into the box from Man U. Somebody should have been on the end of it.

karma_

The whole Neville/Furgeson/UTD team and subs calling for a red card for that epitomises all that is wrong with the game of football.

It's not fitting behaviour on any kind of a sporting field. Utd don't play sport, they play games.

kryogen

happy to get a corner from that!

McGrath5

Lovely hit from Nani.

Can I ask why its ok for Benetiz to question the decision that it should have been a penalty, but its not ok for Fergie to question the decision that it should have been a yellow card.

Ever heard of double standards?

doc_17

yeah some people take it too seriously

Ah boy Paddy Evra.

Raskolnikov

United waking up now.

Valencia avoids his left foot like it owes him money

Read much?

The situations were different as for one, the offence continued on into the box but on this occasion it didn't. You can empathise all you like but the situations were different. Valencia was not in the box when the offence started or finished, kryo has already pointed out that it was his momentum that took him in and it was. There was no offence in the box and so there should not have been a pen. As for the red yellow debate, I would have to see again, I think there were a couple of defenders nearby.

It doesn't exactly work like that PHB.
He very likely may not have committed the offense he gained a yellow for if he was already on a yellow.

kryogen

Rooney isnt great at the moment

I and plenty others remember the incident in question, and myself and Xavi were two of the few who argued the peno against Richards should have been a free.

I think it's a valid question to ask.

kryogen

Nani isnt tracking like he should

too much space

MagicMarker

Liverpool are looking more dangerous so far. UTD need to step it up.

I have no problem with any manager questioning a decision, especially when there is significant doubt as to wether a correct decision has been made. But to run at teh assistant making a card gesture in response to an incident that shouldn't even have been a penalty is pure unadulterated gamesmanship.

Hey, I agree. But you should quote this post at the end of the game when whatever set of fans lose they say the game would have been different if the penalty wasn't given.
