Ref bottled that big time, and those saying should have held try holding something out arms length and someone slapping your head and arm.

Oh and on the big screen to behind the ref lol that is a the biggest joke

Jelle1880

His hand shouldn't be there, but if you drop a ball because of something like that (it's not like he punched him with his fist, it was more of a tap)...

They even showed the foul on the big screen!

1-1 is a fair reflection of the 1st half.

Andy Carroll was always going to be involved in a goal today. Inevitable and given some of the slagging he has gotten from Liverpool fans in the lead up, I suspect he will be delighted with himself.

We just need to get over it now and focus on going ahead again.

1-1 is a fair reflection on the first half. Disgraceful decision by the ref though, Liverpool really need to get on his back in second half

It's an incredibly bad decision, and anyone who actually thinks otherwise... actually, there's only people pretending to think otherwise, what am I saying.

Danny Baker on twitter:
@prodnose: Ref: Why did you flag
Linesman: Goalkeeper got punched in face
Ref: Well I didn't see that
Linesman: Oh OK fair enough.
Ref: Goal!

Lapin

That desicion is gonna fire Liverpool up no end for the second half.

I reckon they'll punish the hammers big time now.

He's entitled to challenge the keeper, fair play ref 90% of the time keeper way too overprotected.

Is there some issue with you and your understanding of the laws of the game? He smashed him in the face. That is a foul, anywhere on the pitch it is a foul, this post seems to be either have been made because you do not understand the laws of the game, or you are just purposely ignoring them to try a bit of one-upmanship. I am not sure but really, keepers overprotected, the police could have gotten involved in a challenge like that if it happened on the street. :rolleyes:

you must have a soft head mate

Carroll looked like he was going up to punch the ball into the net. And instead caught Mignolet square in the side of the head and then knocked the ball from his arms.

It's actually quite amazing it was given.

mightyreds

Better come out fired up for this half now after that disgraceful decision.

Super-Rush

Terrible decision.

Just terrible.

Ref said he thinks he dropped it so obviously didn't see, linesman might be more to blame

nonsense. he hits him in the face hard enough to move his head back and close his eyes. Poor decision.

McSasquatch

Slap in the face = free out irrespective of what Mignolet "should" have done.

**** off Redknapp he did not knock it out of his hand, he tipped his face alright

Biased

Biased in favour of the club he played for or biased in favour of the club that his father managed?

It was a foul dude. Leave it at that instead of arguing some nonsense position.

Kunkka

That's as bad a decision as you will see!

As you would expect in a sport where all players on the pitch can use their hands to challenge for a ball.

Sterling offside at city, Eto at the bridge the ox at the emirates, Now the mig at west ham how can the officials keep getting it wrong a huge huge call the ref got wrong.

Dont forget Carroll in the 1st 5 mins of this game to getting away with clearing out player in the corner

donfers

He put his hand in his face then hit his arm, so two fouls there - it's such a clear foul that debating it comes across as trolling to be honest

let's hope justice is done and liverpool win second half, they haven't played well but that goal was just as horrible a piece of officiating as you'll ever see, webbesque stuff

barone

Lol at the pathetic posts defending the call and blamin keeper.. have a look at yerselves if ye can bare it

Should be 1 nil with West ham down to ten

Bit of a difference tho, you're allowed to punch the ball in gaa so all players are aware that arms and fists are part of the game. As a keeper in soccer, your the only one with rights to use your hands in the box so wouldn't be expecting a box in the face. Especially if they do connect and it goes in it should be disallowed.

Dcully

How some on here are trying to defend a striker lunging into a goalkeeper arms first with his head nowhere near the ball is beyond me.

Are you saying it wasn't a foul?

Lads we need to regroup and board up the barricades. Don't let them out flank us. This is our biggest test fellow match thread saps, let's do it for our missing brethren.

I think Sakho was blocking his view of it. It's pretty obvious he didn't see it properly as there is no way he'd have given it otherwise. I'd love to know what the linesman said to him though.

If it's beyond you that's your opinion.

It's warming up in here.

I still can't understand how ref could allow that goal when assistant would have told him about the punch.

Also people criticising keeper for dropping ball when Carroll stopped him catching it cleanly are strange.
