Peist2007

Sent off for missing.

So deliberatly striking a player isn't a red???

Yakult

No chance now. Its over. Lets focus on the Premier league and hope to god we can correct that.

Gerrard shows how to do a lad win the ball and follow thru you always get away with it

Francie Barrett

And so our return to CL football ends with a whimper.

Game overs...

never a red obviously. I don't even think he was aiming the arm at him either, putting it out to shield a tackle he thought was incoming.

Rotten diseased cnut of a ref and a diving prcik of a player. Worth another red to half him.

Basil v Fawlty.

Just as a recent example Charlie Adam rugby tackled Sanchez on the weekend.... no red.

Hes trying to protect the ball. The sort of arm out you see 100 times a game.

It was never a red card.

He wasn't close enough to connect properly with an outstretched arm, I don't think you can claim he was protecting the ball. He was away.

some of ye here are actual morons, must have never played a minute of any sport in your life, there is a difference between putting your hand up as markovic did there and having a swing at soemone which he absolutely didn't.

Corholio

Doesnt have to leave him bleeding for it to be a red. Swung his arm at full arm length, absolutely brainless thing to do.

Well that's one side of it!

If that's a red, then Felaini would be sent-off every game he plays.

Soft Falling Rain

Ridiculous red but Markovic was idiotic. Why the fcuk would you do that when the player is no where near and you're not under pressure?

I get what you were saying anyway and agree

Unearthly

Liverpool playing like a team that don't belong in the CL and looks like that will be happening for a few years

SlickRic

It was stupid.

But if that's a red card (i.e. violent conduct) then I give up.

It gives Rodgers an out he doesn't deserve though.

there was no reason for markovic to do what he did - why was he trying to bitch slap the Basel player?

Gave the ref a decision to make

Nonsense. Does he touch him with more than a finger tip, and he's behind him? He's trying to fend off a challenge. How can you say that is a valid red? It's careless at worst!!!!!

DDC1990

We're shít enough as it is, referee doesn't have to be bent like this for us to lose.

Vicxas

So. Who's for Europa league?

Osmosis Jones

This ref is a joke, so much diving

Love this line. Isn't true in my case anyways but you think that. There's clearly two ways to view what happened.

Don't be sitting on the fence, tell us what you really think.

He looked to see where the opponent was; it was definitely intentional. Frig all contact though; a yellow card would have sufficed, if the ref had decided to use common sense.

Naaaaaaaa. Put the arm back to clip something and misjudged how far he was away from the player. And, morons? Really? Do mods have to adhere to the charter?

citytillidie

Basel resorting to diving all over the place now, how was that now a red for lashing out by the Basel player?

Strongbow10

If united beat us Rodgers will be sacked

No excuses, majority of the summer signings brought in to kick us on are sitting in the dugout for a defining game in the champions league.

This level of football has Rodgers out of his depth.

livinginkorea

Hmm that's a hard yellow there

mada999

dont think he even touched him for the red..... stupid thing to do though

Paco Rodriguez

Think UEFA have decided two English teams qualifying is enough

would be something if it actually hit him. A bee would not have felt it

Rodgers is under severe pressure now
will he make the new year?

super_furry

Markovic looks back and clearly thought the defender would be closer to him, he's trying to hold him off.

comedy central here, he had two looks before swinging his arm back - it was intentional. He just made girly contact, but he meant it.

He didnt mean to punch him or anything, but he swung his arm back to try and keep the other player away but caught him in the face. Its unfortunate but he caught him in the face. He did swing by the way, ridiculous to say he didnt.

Calling people morons is real classy by the way.

super_furry

A centre-back smacking the ball from 35-yard out has been our best chance. Says it all.

No sorry you're wrong, any game of any contact sport, even non contact sports like basketball and sport with any sort of jostling, will have that kind of non violent more spacial awareness type of putting your arm out, it's not anything.

You are wrong, no doubt about it.

might be time to bring on a striker now....oh wait
