Defo peno they say...two footed sure, whats your argument

I don't care if it's too footed it wasn't that bad a tackle it's a contact sport. If he broke is leg yes it would be a sending off but this crap of "if" he caught him right it "would" be a broken leg is nonsense.

Oh the ball hit the post, it was nearly a goal so we better give it as a goal

Monkey peno ? ... Not a chance!

Red card ? ..... Yes .

There's no doubt Berbatov dived. The reason he ended up on the ground is because he decided to, not because of the tackle.

But if Agger is gonna stick his leg out like that, he better make sure he gets the ball!!

Mr.Nice Guy

The contrast between Dalglish before the game and walking off there is staggering. Wonder if he still fancies the job or is he thinking 'what the hell have I got myself into'?

Vicious tackle from Gerrard, what nonsene from Beglin on ITV though

do you even know the rules?

since you obviously don't, there's no point debating with you.

2 footed = a sending off. If Vidic had of done that to Torres I have no doubt that you would want him sent off.

never a penalty, definite dive. He took two steps after the contact and threw himself on the ground.

So shouldn't a penalty have been given before he took those two steps? Contact without getting the ball.
Or has a player to actually fall down for a foul to be commited?

I highly doubt it, seems as though that ban could last 3 years then?

It was a definite dive. Barely any contact - but Agger shouldnt have stuck his leg out. Terrible defending.

I'm surprised by the reaction to the tackle on here, I'll have to look at it again but it looked more like a yellow to me. Could be wrong though.

I honestly can't see how even the most biased of 'Pool fans can say the that wasn't a red card, tbh. It was disgraceful and TheProdigy was very close to getting his wish.

To be fair, I'd recognise most of the pool fand usernames on here from the superthread and 99% of them have said it was a definite red, there'll always be a few, you know that.

Think the leg breaking thing is a bit over the top. I know well it was a straight red but it wasn't like one of those head on, straight over the top of the ball lunges. A minor point admittedly but it's far less likely, imo, to be a legbreaker when side on. Could well be wrong on that.

Howard Webb 1 - 0 Liverpool

Clear enough artistic stumble by Berbatov, who will not be fessing up in the media later on like Theo did. Gerrards lunge was just that, so he had to go even if no real damange done to whover he went through.

In terms of play, with 11 on Liverpool looked pretty okay. With 10 it'll just be containment for as long as possible.

Tis pretty quiet in there.

Evans playing like G. Pique today; good, quick feet and on Torres anytime he makes a run

Luckily for us, there's no way he can keep that up for the whole game. Evans is a liability.

Really think Liverpool will score next.

Rafael's tackle was just as bad, just Carrick made a big deal out of it.

lol, and the fact that Rafa won the ball and didn't touch the other player.

So the ref should wait to see if it was a serious injury before deciding on the card? GTFO. Stop embaressing yourself with statements like that and just go for a walk

true.

one big decision he got correct, one, IMO he got wrong, but it's debatable considering Agger was stupid enough to put his leg there.

i don't believe there was enough contact for Berba to go down.

I cant see how one red card and a soft peno would have him thinking that. He didnt just discover football yesterday you know.

If the two decisions were the other way round would Fergie be thinking of jacking it in?

Hmmm from Liverpool pov I am not too unhappy with the first half.

A first minute penalty against us and a player sent off and we are only a goal down whilst matching United in pretty much every department.


I am still fairly confident that the second half will be just as tight and Liverpool getting back into the game is far from being a longshot.

Our style of play has impressed me, and so has our attitude. Massive improvements in both.

Things like the early peno and the sending off would have seen us crumble before this game.

United have the lead right now, but I think both Liverpool and United fans are wary going into the second half as there could be a few more twists in this game yet.

That_Guy

Definite red card for me. Lot of discussion about the Tiote challenge yesterday. Big difference is that Tiote had one foot on the ground and got the ball. Gerrard went in two footed and won none of the ball.

Penalty was never a penalty but Agger should never have stuck his leg out in the first place.

Stonewall Red card, stonewall dive from Berbatov.

Rafael made an illegal challenge before Gerrard that Webb failed to pick up on. Gerrard had to go though, awful challenge.

If it's true that kenny arrived back from holidays or whereever he was untill yesterday. how the hell are putting the performance down to kenny if he hasn't even taken a training session??

bizzare.

JJJJNR

Improved performance for LFC, much better football being played, Man UTD are much more confident going in.

Berbatofff was shot ???

noodler

Jesus, I thought the linesman had given it initially.

Very disappointed to see that Webb gave it despite no call from his better positioned linesman.

Rather honest apprisal from Big Sam - surprised.

Liam O

ah here, if you look at Berba's left foot he goes over on it as a result of the contact after taking a step. That's not a dive.

Mr.Nice Guy

Just seen the replay. It's a nailed on penalty. Definite contact.

Would you ever cop on, a discusting tackle? It was an honest passionate tackle. But when the ref supports united you can't win, it's the same crap everytime he refs united v Liverpool the man is a disgrace.

Michael Owen to score the winning goal = WHOOP WHOOP

Sums it up for me

It was definately not a penalty that clown berbatov dived.I was impressed with how liverpool were playing i taught they were getting on top of utd then the ref decided to send off gerrard when it should of been yellow.I can't believe it another ref bottling it at old trafford, some things never change.

Southgate reckons Gerard for sticking up for his teammates, of course.:rolleyes:

Missed the start of the match so didn't see the peno incident until the replay just now and that was a dive by Berbatov.

Again the Gerrard red card was totally justified. It was a very dangerous tackle.

Cypher_sounds

Just seen the replay, shocking challenge from gerrard. that is all
