The local newspaper in my home town does a team of the week every week. This week it includes:

Lionel Messi (Barcelona)
Raheem Sterling (Liverpool)
Adam Gorle (Chester Nomads Under 9s)

"Here is one cross he won't want to drop, we hear from David James on his MBE" Excellent Sky Sports News.

Liverpool just got screwed.

But with 30 odd minutes played, I would have taken a point.

 

[The Dragon Saga]

We may have got screwed, but for the majority of the game we played shit. Opening fifteen minutes were bright, rest was eternal darkness, asides from that last minute goal which was scrapped by an incompetent dick of a linesman. Fucking Liverpool.

A simple question

If this game were being played at Old Trafford, would United have received these 2 red cards? Would they fuck

It was terrible. They were all over us. I was so happy with a point but knowing we got screwed out of all three riles me something chronic.

Course not. But it's Clattenburg's shit refereeing.

 

[Барбоса]

Not to mention the offside winner.

 

[Lee]

I loved the offside winner, the bar erupted when liverpool scored (Newcastle match was on 1 screen, liverpool 4 screens) and when it was ruled offside the Newcastle bar burst out in cheers!

Also we didn't deserve to win.

Also Cisse's goal was hilarious.

Also Torres shouldn't have been booked for that.

The worst refereeing performance of the season so far. It would be in Man Utd's favour during match against Chelsea, wouldn't it?

I'm fed up of this. Since Mourinho's departure I don't think there's been a season when a referee hasn't made an awful decision(s) in Man Utd's favour against Chelsea. I'm hoping these are just coincidences, or Man Utd's absurd amount of luck. And not that the referees are getting payed off. Man Utd needed one own goal and an offside goal to beat nine men. They're actually shit.

 

[Lee]

Not even the worst ref showing in the last seven days.

[Lee]

Genuine question though Dowds: Did you feel Torres' sending off was warranted?

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Not seen the game, just waiting for MOTD2. Sounds like we got some favours from the ref and assistants. Makes Wednesday night more interesting.

And Hernandez shits on Welbeck. Easily.

 

[Ming]

Why would I need to dry my eyes?

Chelsea are still top of the league.

And Lee: I'm assuming you're talking about the Newcastle/Sunderland game. Well, I've not seen it all, but I saw the red card given against Tiote. I agree that it wasn't a red, but two false red cards, and an offside goal, are worse than one red. And Chelsea's matches with Man Utd are always going to impact the title race, I'd not hesitate to predict Newcastle finishing above Sunderland by six points or more.

 

[Барбоса]

I'll give you Torres' red and the offside goal but Ivanovic should have gone. Clipped a man who was clean through

Torres also should have gone for his first yellow.

It was an offside yeah but also a red.

I think the Liverpool refereeing last week and this was bad. They've been screwed twice in a week.

 

[a0161613]

Which one from last week?

 

[Lee]

I can't remember, just remember there was one or did I make it up?

 

[Ming]

The Ivanovic one was soft, I can understand why it was given, but it was soft. Torres' first challenge was never a straight red, we see high foot challenges all the time, and often without bookings. I honestly believe that if the roles were reversed today, between Man Utd and Chelsea and it was at Old Trafford, that if Man Utd committed those challenges, they'd have not gotten one player sent off, let alone two. And the offside goal was fucking despicable, that would be the manner of Man Utd's third goal.

I concur again that Liverpool were screwed against Everton. That's if the decision regarding the fifth goal was given for offside, if it was given for Coates (I think it was Coates?) climbing a defender before heading it down for Saurez, then I can understand the goal being dissallowed. It's been given against Chelsea plenty of times.

 

[a0161613]

There was the Shelvey one but that was debatable by nature. I think the one you may be thinking of is Suarez against Stoke. But again, it was debatable.

We've not had great luck with refereeing decisions. The Everton equaliser today should never have happened because it came from an Everton throw that shouldn't have been their throw-in. The linesman definitely flagged for offside because the header was fair.

 

[Lee]

Swings and roundabouts really.

Precise. . . mon or however the French say it, I still remember Chelsea winning the league off the back of an offside goal against Man United. As I've said so many times before, swings and roundabouts.

EDIT

Swings and roundabouts really.

Yup.

 

[Loveless]

"inappropriate language" used by Clattenburg? I smell big trouble if that's picked up on camera.

 

[Барбоса]

The Ivanovic one was soft, I can understand why it was given, but it was soft.

I disagree. It was not soft; it was blatant. Caught on the wrong side, out-paced. Moved across the back of Young, who was through on goal. Clipped him. Red.

Torres' first challenge was never a straight red, we see high foot challenges all the time, and often without bookings.

Sheamus would have been happy with that pump kick. He caught Cleverly on the shoulder.

And the offside goal was fucking despicable, that would be the manner of Man Utd's third goal.

Was not as bad a decision as Suarez's winner being disallowed. At least the linesman at Stamford Bridge had an excuse being that Cech was blocking his view of Hernandez. To quote Gary Neville, the linesman at Goodison "panicked and bottled it."

I concur again that Liverpool were screwed against Everton. That's if the decision regarding the fifth goal was given for offside, if it was given for Coates (I think it was Coates?) climbing a defender before heading it down for Saurez, then I can understand the goal being dissallowed.

It was disallowed for the 'offside.'

 

[Ming]

In the very match you're speaking of Miko, Man Utd scored a goal with hands heavily involved in it. I'd have taken 1-0 if things were done properly by the officials, people quickly forgot that Joe Cole scored a terrific goal in that game, and that Chelsea outplayed ManUtd.
