No. Why?

I'll give you a clue 'Agenda'.

 

[Alpherah]

The post match comments on here after Liverpool play from other teams are worse then those teams corresponding whopper forums =/ (ie: Redcafe, etc)

what a let down that was. highlight for me was the cat on the pitch.

 

[Purdy]

But the ball was above head height

Yeah mavity brings it down so that you can volley it at that height.

Bale dived = yellow card
Bale gets up and starts pushing Agger = yellow card.

Fairly simple.

I think the ref could have booked Agger for his reaction but balanced it against Bale doing likewise, it was 50/50. I think he handled the situation well tbh. Suarez should have been off though, that really was disgraceful. I think he just acts impulsively like a ****.

Dalglish is doing my nut, just answer the question without being a snidey ****.

 

[Tom84]

Oh dear god, Dalglish what a twit

Why would Agger be booked for telling a player who dived without even a whisker of contact appealing to a linesman to stop being such a ****?

 

[johnyccc]

He is always the same, every time. Comes across as a right miserable and bitter guy. Would hate to play for him although his refusal to admit anything negative about his club or players could be nice, wouldn't need to even try

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

What's he said, turned it off. Has he attacked a linesman for daring to give two penalties once? That would be most embarrassing if he did.

 

[Pighardia]

I think Liverpool really should have won the match tbh, Gerrard played really well and I thought Carrol did ok too, though he was let down by some poor passing especially from Kuyt and Spearing on a few occasions.

Tottenham didn't really offer much though, Bale had a real off-day, as did Modric. Parker and Dawson were excellent though.

I still fancy Liverpool for fourth!

50/50? Agger tells him to get up and Bale starts pushing him. How often when players start pushing each other don't they get booked? He should have been booked for the dive and then booked for shoving Agger (and then Johnson). As I said initially though, I can't remember a ref ever booking a player twice in one incident.

 

[One More Solo]

Because he's not the referee? Agger was right to feel aggrieved but so many times you will see both players booked in a flash point like that, rightly or wrongly. The referee did well. A red would have been massive overkill because Bale only rose to Agger's aggressive reaction.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Parker and Dawson were excellent though.

Was it Dawson who tackled Carroll in the first half around the penalty box? Awesome tackle regardless.

Well Bale should definitely be booked for diving and if you think Agger should be booked for the way he acted so should Bale as his reaction was much worse.

Yes threes no denying SAF lets himself down at times too. But I literally can't recall KD saying anything positive to a reporter. He seems to take offence to any question and just acts really aggressive and obnoxiously from start to finish.
SAF has a pretty poor reputation outside United fans (partly his own fault) but for some reason nothings really said about this.

Would Bale have pushed Agger if Agger hadn't told him to get up? Highly unlikely. Again, Agger reacted understandably but only inflamed the situation.

Regarding the latter, Ribery was sent off earlier this season for two successive yellows after refusing to back down in a similar incident.

Read what I wrote? I said they both should have been booked or neither - the referee chose the latter which was sensible.

Dalglish openly admits, from when he first too the Liverpool job in the late 80's, that he doesn't trust the press. He doesn't always give them ****, you often see him laughing and joking with the press in his press-conferences but if they ask a question he doesn't like, he lets them know.

 

[Chong Warrior]

All fans of other clubs see one thing... just Liverpool fans see another. Time and time again on incidents that aren't even that debatable tbh.

Trollerpool fans from now on you lot

I think I've seen a yellow for diving outside the box like twice, ever and the shove was a shove, that's it, its usually shove in the face where things get closer to a red.

Skrtel did foul after foul today, and if Liverpool fans want to know what we persecute that poor, innocent loveable chap Suarez......

Not very long after coming back from a long ban, he purposefully kicked Spur's best and most important player. Then he, has a shot blocked, HAND BALLS IT, has another shot block and screams at the ref at length about not getting a penalty... when it was HIM who hand balled it, not either Spurs player. He's scum, a cheat, nasty, mouthy and completely over rated on top of that.

Agreed.... on all counts

 

[Yozz76]

But I literally can't recall KD saying anything positive to a reporter.

It is because the likes of Ferguson and Dalglish understand the negative agendas that reporters/journos work from. Personally, I love the way that both managers play the media, it makes me laugh and shows them up for the ******** they are.

Had Bale not dived then Agger wouldn't have had to shout at him. Players regularly have words with each other when they're not happy with challenges; Walker was giving Bellamy some **** when Bellamy tripped him in the first half, Bellamy (maybe surprisingly) didn't react though.

I suspect Bale was booked for shoving Agger and then Johnson, rather than the dive.
