Ah well, 2 ex-profession footballers agree with me...go figure.

How is Goufran interfering with play when he's getting out of the way?

Dude easy!!!

It's city we are playing

 

[Cosimo]

Go on Pardew.. smack him one

One more decision like that and he will. Mind you there will probably be a queue.

Don't worry, Baz is the ultimate hipster. He'll argue anything just for the sake of it.

 

[BaZ87]

Weren't the rules changed to say a player is only interfering with play if he challenges for the ball?

Or if his movements distract the opposition player. Hart began moving to his left and then stopped. I don't think he'd have saved it but it appears clear to me that he's not dived because he's worried about it taking a deflection off the players in front of him.

A player jumping out of the way of the ball a couple of yards away from the keeper has to be a distraction.

I feel for Tiote...............

How often has he been trying that ****....

I'm at a loss with it tbh but surely man utd's first goal should/would have been ruled out as Valencia challenged with the defender in the first phase of play leading up to the goal.

None of it makes sense.

 

[abbviper]

Got to say i agree with Baz87.

They also need to sort out the quality of pundits on Sky.

As a neutral the game is giving great entertainment.

Mildly amused at the geordie bleatings, call that one karma for the gift of a game that you received on boxing day

Someone will see red before the end…

 

[BaZ87]

Liverpool 11:
-----------Mignolet
Johnson--Sktel-Toure--Cissokho
-------------Lucas
-------Gerrard--Henderson
--Sterling-------------Coutinho
------------Suarez

Sturridge on the bench but no Sakho

Not just because Cissokho's **** but I'd have much rather seen Kelly start RB with Johnson LB to give us a bit more strength in the air.

 

[nemtizz]

Remy truly has been Pardew'd.

 

[BaZ87]

Sissoko's pushing his luck. He could have easily got a 2nd yellow for pulling down Kolarov(?) at the end of the first half.

 

[da_mic_1530]

We will end with 7 men on the pitch by the end. Christ could you imagine if another one was ruled out

I seem to remember getting shot down last season for saying something similar.

Karma doesn't transfer to subsequent matches against a different team.

How is Stoke having 2 players legitimately sent off, the same as having a legitimate goal ruled out incorrectly?

 

[Cosimo]

Save keeps them in the game.

 

[nemtizz]

No points from Yaya will make this defeat even more grim.

 

[Purdy]

Baz please, it was a goal

 

[BaZ87]

Baz please, it was a goal

Sorry Purdy, I don't think it was. I'll happily take it if one goes our way though.
