The ref is Belgian which may explain quite a lot to be honest.

Masch was in danger of exploding again. He needs someone to hold him back.

Okay Dunphy put that in your pipe!

Genuine question here Mike, Gerrard is standing next to him, he sees he has just been booked, he sees his reaction, he has seen him blow up on referees before, why does he not pull him away and tell him to shut it?

Ha ha, dunphy is sick!

To me it was clearly for belting the ball away,

so it will stand, and he'll be out

he booted the ball away, then he did his angry little argentinian act on the ref, if he keeps that up he will be off, he does have form for getting himself sent off for being an impudent child and costing the team......

oh I taught the ref booked him by accident

so it looks like his out, very bad news

How? Was he eating chocolate during referee classes?

whats the story with the masch yellow card

if it stands,he'll be out for the next round

To me it seemed to be for kicking the ball away. If true I can't see them getting it overturned even if the ref was wrong as it happened so quick. Can you appeal a yellow in Europe? I know you can't in the prem.

Great performance by Liverpool. Although gerrard and torres will prob get the headlines. Masch and Alonso have been the stars for me. Strangled any life out of Madrid, and have been the platform foe the performance.

Pepe LeFrits · 10-03-2009 08:38PM

I feel sorry for Diarra, who has been impressive. Gago is a clown, Robben might aswell be at home while Raul and Higuain seem pathologically unwilling to drop deep to offer any support. Liverpool could win this by a hockey score.

Xavi6 · 10-03-2009 08:38PM

Oh to be watching Eamo and the lads.

I've got Paul Okon and Craig 'The Foz' Foster :rolleyes:

Dunphy on the drink again.

Tusky · 10-03-2009 08:39PM

Torres, Gerrard, Masch, Alonso and Aurelio have been fantastic. Great first 45 minutes. Thought we were fortunate to get the penalty but definitely dont think Torres fouled Pepe for the first.

woah :eek:

RTE panel praising liverpool

right this down in your diary

and Tusky is missing it :pac:

Dunphy on the drink again.

What the panel hasn't mentioned is Real don't have 10 men behind the ball.

chopperbyrne · 10-03-2009 08:41PM

Didn't know a new hybrid player named Cannavalho plays for Real!

Good old Giles!

kryogen · 10-03-2009 08:41PM

not missing anything epic Xavi.....although even Graeme Souness has said it was never a penalty

Liverpool go out and play positive attacking football and the RTE panel praise them. So they proved their not biased and now some of you find that hard to accept

mayordenis · 10-03-2009 08:44PM

I just want to ask everyone that if liverpool did continue to play like that for the next 45 to actually give them some credit and not spend all night tearing apart madrid.
They have been sluggish for sure but in any sport/game sometimes a team just click and for the first 45 liverpool have, they're playing football crisp passing, good movement and really high energy add babel and torres and there pace up top.

10-03-2009 08:44PM

I still can't quite believe those first 30 mins. Incredible.

dear God :eek:

have you tried watching it without the red tinted specs on?

give it a go! and for the record, if your already admitting it hit his shoulder, you cannot say it was a penalty

What I said was check out the movement of Heinze's shoulder joint - I did not say it hit him on the shoulder.
The shoulder joint moved forward throwing his arm forward.
The ball hit the top front part of his arm just below the shoulder.
If there was no intent Heinze's arm would't have moved as it did.

IMO penalty

Good question, Gerrard and Alonso were both nearby, one of them speaks Spanish quite well and should have just dragged Masch away and told him to "calm down calm down".

I don't think I've seen anybody in here saying anything negative about Liverpool's play.

I'll be the first then. As Giles just pointed out at half-time why the fuvk cant they play like that every week !

mike65 · 10-03-2009 08:47PM

Real are not having a bad day at the office they are been made to look bad by a fitter tougher team. Its La Liga that is overhyped, not the Prem

Having seen Monster Masch at his bug-eyed best, maybe they're afraid to touch him when he's going postal. :pac:

gd1987 · 10-03-2009 08:48PM

Great first half, allthough the penalty was harsh liverpool deserve the two goals. I can't figure out why mascherano was booked.

I'm looking forward to more of the same. But madrid can't that bad again for the second half.

The Sparrow · 10-03-2009 08:48PM

Oh FFS!
