The Muppet

Soft Pen but if you make contact with the player and not the ball in the box theres always a danger of giving one away.

Typical United scum, well done United he is really one of your own now.

The rage is strong in this one.

SlickRic

now that the over-zealous have been dealt with.

a horrible start.

never a penalty, but i'd have taken it the other end.

the irony is, he could've got a shot in.

Dues Bellator

for any liverpool fans feeling effected by the following score , please phone 1800 10 10 10 thats 1800 won - nothing

Howard Webb may as well throw on a Utd jersey when it comes to this fixture, thats the second nothing penalty he has given them against us in 2 matches

Making contact in a contact sport? Oh the horror of it all. Agger should be banned indefinately.

No rubbing of the face from Kenny,

Yeah because that's the way I acted alright.

Cheating from Kuyt asking for the card there. For shame.

Nice touch, alright, get contact, go down.

He'd be popular in the BoilerHouse...

Seriously though, have ITV just changed to the Liverpool TV commentary?

I'd condemn any Liverpool player that does and have on here plenty of times.

I've given up berating any player on it, tbh. Just not worth the effort 'cos they're all the same, unfortunately.

citytillidie

I guess he just took the advice Webb gave to Blackpool about going down in the box if there is some contact in the box

Think he wears it underneath his ref kit.

Fletcher unlucky to get a yellow there for me.
Lively start all the same.

especially when that player takes an extra step and then theatrically throws himself to the ground

Well maybe Pool players should stop being retards and giving Him the opportunity. It was a pen. Yes he went down but there was contact.

adox

The thing I can't understand about Beglins commentary is, he's looking to see if Berba took another step after the contact.now fair enough if he wants to see if he went down too easily, but he seems to be using it as a call on waether it was a peno or not.

My point it, a player can be fouled and it be a peno without the player going to ground.

My tuppence worth, there was contact and Berba went down when he felt it. It was still a peno though IMO.

The referees are really supposed to wear the regulation officials gear, I dont think hes allowed wear the jerseys of any clubs while officiating.

ShooterSF

Definite penalty. Made contact with the player and didn't get the ball. The sad thing about the game is that a player has to go to ground to get the ref to enforce the rules once you're in the box.

Kess73

A lot more by way of closing down and effort from Liverpool today.

Made absolutely no effort to get the ball. Well done Webb for booking him for that, gets away with that shít far too often. It'll render his game useless for the next 80 minutes now as he won't be able to go around fouling as much as he usually does.

Kess73

As for the peno debate, I don't think it was one myself, but the ref did and that's all that matters.

Dr.Winston O'Boogie

Kenny out. Roy Evans is the only man that can save you's now.

yermandan

What a pass by Carrick

efb

That penalty has really made me despise football.

What would Berba do if he came up against Paul Galvin or Paul O'Connell...

By the letter of the law its a penalty, but not by the spirit of it.

I might as well watch Dancing on Ice, at least Katonia will get stuck in!!!

I meant in terms of Kuyt blocking him of initially with hands into his chest, just thought it was a bit of a nothing to get a yellow for considering how heated these games can get and how Webb approached the World Cup final.

Anyone else think the pitch looks awful?

The ref may not have noticed the contact but for that.:D

i'm as impressed with how we're trying to keep the ball.

United having to resort to longish balls in the last 5 minutes. Not a good sign.

I'd hope he'd realize he's playing the wrong sport.

Lively first 15 anyway,Liverpool look much more intersted than Ive seen from them in a quite a while.

Its the way the sport has gone in the last while and personnally I've giben up careign about footnall over the last 18 months. I got back to playing rugby and withing weeks my interest in playing and watchign football had started to drift. At this stage I onyl bother watching football when I'm sitting here and it's on. I wont go out of my way for it. Up tp the season before last I travelled over a couple of times a year too. Theres just so much to dislike about it now and its easy to turn away when theres something else there . Dissallusionned would probably be the best way to describe it. The sport needs an overhaul on plenty of levels.

BERBA

Bet Woy wouldnt have conceded after 30 seconds;)

So Berbatov was doing it in protest or in some reaction to Gerrard yeah? Otherwise whats your point? He cheated. The fact that others might do it doesnt change anything.

Liverpool midfield look lively.

Jesus that was never a corner ,

Well done Rafael you beauty.

Football absolutely has to introduce video referees.

All strikers would have dived in Berba's position.

The sport turns honest players into dishonest ones.
