Liverpool fc v Girondins de Bordeaux 20.05 hrs (BT Sport/Setanta)

Turtyturd

Brilliant.

martyos121

Probably the best goal ever.

Turtyturd

Number 1 striker.

5starpool

Mignolet, Firmino and Allen were our 3 worst players of the half in that order imo. Ibe, Benteke (because of the goal) and Lucas the best I think.

Dub13

Been years since I seen a free given for that, I hope it speeds keepers up going forward.

Benteke's 5th goal for Liverpool and 3 of them have been absolute crackers. To go along with the belting volley he scored in pre-season.

Every corner we'll get a penalty so ya? The letter of the law excuse doesn't fly. Mignolet completely took the piss with holding onto the ball, there was nothing clear about the penalty at all.

Clear as day to me. Arm across the player running in and dragged him down. I have no interest in discussing it further with someone who is obviously very passionate about refereeing decisions.

There was no 'drag', contact yes drag no. Passionate about refereeing decisions? What you on about? It's opinions, no need to get narky about it.

You seem very passionate about your opinion, I'm not, also I'm not getting narky, I just dont have the interest to build on my point. There's contact, it obstructs Benteke, its a peno for me, you dont agree, I understand why but dont agree with you, thats probably the end of the debate I guess.

Osmosis Jones

Ref is bizarre

Turtyturd

How is that a free out?

BorneTobyWilde

AND HERE COMES THE PRESSING!
You see that reaction, how long will it last

PhiloCypher

Can someone explain the difference between what Mig did and what most keepers do to wind the clock down around the 80 min mark, because the latter normally only results in a yellow for the keeper and not an indirect free from where the keeper last stood.

Not excusing Mig by the way.

Osmosis Jones

First good piece of play from Firmino, Benteke doesn't even think though

NukaCola

Brutal

Not much, we'd be seeing indirect free kicks every week if that ref was in charge....

They would be doing it from a goal kick, so a dead ball situation where this rule doesn't apply and an indirect free can't be given, only a yellow card.

5starpool

What's happening?

Caovyn Lineah

This ref is hilarious

livinginkorea

Ah Christ

5starpool

Oh right, tangle of legs, I wondered why he fell. Fair enough.

Osmosis Jones

This is more like it

Grayditch

This. Lad.

OwaynOTT

Allen trying to play himself back into first team. Playing well

Turtyturd

Free out surely.

Osmosis Jones

He doesn't trip him, the defender runs across him, nothing he can do

The difference being others keepers have yet to put the ball back into play. Migs had the ball in his hands. If he had it on the ground, but still in play, he would've been fine.

I thought he was poor in the first half.

Osmosis Jones

Cross it Ibe! Should be putting this game to bed

Good in the last 10 mins and that's all that matters.

5starpool

FFS Ibe. Why do players always hit those low? Hit it higher its nearly impossible to stop.

whatawaster

Ibe should be shot for that

Pyjamarama

Ibe is talented but right now he couldn't finish his dinner.

Turtyturd

Ibe only thinking of the Klopp hug.

Osmosis Jones

Ref hasn't a clue

klose

Ref is a homer

Four Bordeaux players surrounding little Joe Allen there. Like watching Messi in action.

Osmosis Jones

Ref needs to be told to cop on

Can't touch these lads without throwing themselves to the ground

No hug for Ibe after the game.

Solid yellow...

Ref is ****e

BorneTobyWilde

The referee's a banker
That will get him on side

OwaynOTT

Beginning to see why that ref has never made it to the champions league.
