**Football 5th-9th Mar 2010/2011

Which would lead me to believe, that i was talking about you fishing, in terms of maxi being sent off, for a non dangerous tackle, nor malicious. And the fact Rafael didn't touch Lucas has nothing to do with the fact it is a straight red with a two footed lunge with intent. You utter tool.

Nowhere did I say Liverpool didn't play better than us, you calling me bitter is crap considering the only issues I'm taking with is the Red cards your team should have had. If you could actually read you'd see I said that even with the red cards you should have had we probably still wouldn't of scored as we played that bad (it's all in my first post kid)

As for Maxi's 'tackle' not being dangerous the fact he left studs marks on Rafael like he did proves you wrong

 

[BaZ87]

Sent off for what? He went in with one foot barely raised and didn't touch Lucus whatsoever

I think you need to watch the tackle again

The tackle itself probably wouldn't have occured to begin with had Carragher been sent off as he should have been minutes before

That's part and parcel of football though. Liverpool fans could point back to the FA cup game where a foul and at least a yellow card should have been given to Rafael for his challenge on Meireles just before Gerrard got sent off.

Nobody knows what might have been, we can only comment on what actually happened and seemingly all bar yourself have admitted that Rafael should have been sent off.

I think saf's ban on the media should be extended to fans on forums too

 

[Tom84]

Tbh you are just trolling about the whole rafael/maxi thing.

Just accept defeat like every other united fan on here.

Another utterly clueless individual

I posted my thoughts on the game and it's the Liverpool lot that choose to only comment on the sendings off, what am I to do not reply?

Find a post that says I didn't think Liverpool were the better team, I'll give you a heads up you won't

Yeah because players don't get scrapes/stud marks on their legs all the times from tackles. From that logic we should just ban tackling as it is dangerous then?
Sure if Maxi left stud marks on Rafael, i'd hate to think what would have happened if Lucas didn't jump out of the way of Rafael's tackle.

where was Nani's shin pads

I'm not reading through a whole thread of Liverpool kids like Purdy fapping over today's games and the spoilt United fans saying Fergie should have retired years ago etc etc

The pundits on Sky both agreed Maxi should have gone and didn't mention Rafael warranting a sending off whatsoever to which I agree. The yellow was the worst he should have received and that's what he got

Look at it another way then was Carraghers tackle on Nani worse than Rafaels? Of course it was that why one was a red and the other wasn't.

 

[Tom84]

As if any of us needed proof you've confirmed your mental age right there. Well done

 

[FeFiDoh]

I don't remember them saying Maxi should have gone? That was a 50/50 you see all the time he went for, yellow card at the most I would have thought.

Carra on Nani they agreed was a red card. I am also pretty sure they mentioned Rafael's tackle as wreckless? If he hadn't of jumped out the way it could have been a leg breaker.
It's not a case of "he didn't make contact" he didn't make contact because the player lept out the way.

Can't help biting the bait.

Ah well, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. \o

 

[elmuzzy66.]

Yes Sky pundits have always been a lloyds register for what is the 'word' on football events

 

[Stewy]

Meireles was unbelievably good today

You remember incorrectly then.

I thought that. Best thing Hodgson did for them, eh?

Ah sorry, not allowed a sense of humour am i?

Weebull, that is only a one footed challenge, are you seriously that stupid?

 

[elmuzzy66.]

Only thing

 

[FeFiDoh]

that pic confirms that if it wasnt for Lucas getting out the way that is a leg snapper

You really think it was a red card for Maxi? I am certain they didn't say that mind you I was in between rooms, theres no way it was worthy of a red he was going for a bouncing ball

Everytime I'll try to use the sky pundit defence next time i need it

Silly me, of course. That other leg clearly moved out of the way between frames.
