Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [14th - 19th August 2015]

[antijoke]

He's playing very well.

He is, hope he gets more tonight.

 

[nemtizz]

Rules are rules. Don't understand why there would be any confusion among the officials? Commentators trying to spin this as weird and confusing. It's really not that hard to comprehend, like.

 

[RoboCod]

Benteke? Well he's scored. That's about it.

 

[Ayahuasca]

This ref been paid off?

 

[Purdy]

And that's why you flop or you'll never get it, ****e ref

 

[drunkenmaster]

And that's why you flop or you'll never get it, ****e ref

No, Henderson entirely dived there which is why he embarrassedly got straight back up and didn't even dare glance at the ref. Coutinho did a few minutes ago as well and Lallana a minute ago.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Caught his trailing leg.

 

[Purdy]

No, Henderson entirely dived there, as did Coutinho a few minutes ago and Lallana a minute ago.

That's why he just kept going the entire time and got up lol, catch a grip

 

[drunkenmaster]

Was that Lallana just ran into someone after the other guy made the pass, nothing, Coutinho didn't like the look of fighting for the ball so just leaned away after minor and entirely fair shoulder to shoulder contact... foul.

 

[Rybo89]

Struggling to keep my eyes open.

 

[Mark1989]

Should be 2-0 and he knows it gutting for him

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Bad Coutinho

 

[Moothead2]

**** me, that goal should have been given offside under any offside rule, never mind the one that directly mentions it.

 

[fez]

Lol pls, was a clear foul

Haha, are you being serious? Lovren was outmuscled and the minimal contact that was there was nowhere near enough to be a foul. If thats a foul then there are 5 or so fouls happening each time a ball comes into the area. Liverpool were super lucky and 9/10 the ref wouldn't bat an eyelid at that goal.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Decent half. Started slowly and were lucky not to be 1-0 down but came back in to the game just before scoring and dominated after.

Milner, Henderson, Coutinho and Benteke look good but Lallana has sucked donkey wang again. Ferminho on soon please.

 

[Tombstone]

Bit of a mixed half, oddly almost feels like a friendly rather than a competitive match. I'd say both "goals" should have been disallowed, so it should really be 0-0. Having said that, how many 3pts have we seen every winning team over the years get that they shouldnt have, so as it stands, my head tells me it should be 0-0 but my heart tells me its great that its 1-0

 

[Martini1991]

Are Liverpool actually happy with lallana?

 

[Purdy]

Haha yes I am, it was a foul and going by reddits voting system that would seem to be the majority opinion

Nevermind,Neville analysis is good, turns out it wasn't a foul just genius by Lovren

 

[Moothead2]

It was incredibly soft, and comparing that to Richards and Darmanitan or whatever his name is on Fridays it's hard to believe that this one was given and not the other, but I can see why the ref gave it. Putting your hands on another players shoulders when jumping for a ball is asking for trouble.

 

[Purdy]

Seems wasted out wide, just an incredibly odd purchase

Don't see him offer much defensively either. Whole team is kinda ****e though, we'll do well to get fifth
