    bring on babel, the pool need a player who can dribble past defenders, at the moment the only pool player who can dribble past people is torres and he's not showing it, kuyt & maxi are toothless

    More diving from Evra at least this time Webb did not fall for it

    Aurelio doing his best for United.:D Nearly put Hernandez through earlier on and just now tries to head it in himself.

    think you need to adjust the tv for those rose tinted glasses you are wearing.

    Are you watching a re-run of a previous game. Liverpool have played some decent stuff today. IMO they've strung some better passes than Man United in the first half. Having said that though, their crossing is letting them down.

    He must be surely.

    Did he tackle with studs showing? NO.

    He jumped in only for Meireles pulling out it could have been worse

    There's this thing about Skrtel when he starts galloping you know he's about to lunge in.

    Ha, anyone else see the fan put his head on Mereiles' shot??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,824 ✭✭✭ShooterSF


    Apparently it's any contact at all, not matter how light. So everytime 2 opposing players touch in the box, the attacker gets a peno.

    Well I'd argue that the attacker should have to be considered in control of the ball and that some forms of contact (shoulders) are allowed.

    Anywho I just don't agree that a player should have to be knocked off his feet for it to be considered a foul..

    Kelly is a super defender

    United putting Pool to the sword now. Big 10 mins coming up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,966 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    Martin Kelly has been magnificent.

    Yeah, saw that as well, back of his head

    Really liking Kelly today. Has played quite well.

    Liverpool in the final third are awful. Nice passing but then an over ambitious long ball which always gets snuffed out. Frustrating.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,824 ✭✭✭ShooterSF


    Lol @ commentary

    Evra down easy, fair shoulder from Kelly

    Kelly wins a foul from a shove by Berbs (shoulder?)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,493 ✭✭✭Quandary


    Watching kelly for pool here one wonders why the hell johnson is anywhe near that team

    I have to admit you really are a clown it was not a penalty and liverpool were on top until gerrard got sent off.

    Where did I say it was a penalty. If you actually read my post you'll see I said the opposite.

    Post reported for the personal insult.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,284 ✭✭✭kingshankly


    glen Johnson should never ever start ahead of Kelly at right back ever again

    Disappointing for Liverpool fans and also fans of football, the game has been largely dictated by referee decisions. I have not seen Gerrard's tackle so I can't say anything but from the commentary on the Radio and people's reactions here, it looks like it was a definite straight red. Can't say much on the penalty itself, NewsTalk's commentary said it was a dive, also said the red was deserved, can't comment myself until I get home and see it.

    It was a red card, and a very soft pen considering the Linesman was closer to it then the ref and did not give it

    performance looks pretty hodgson like for me.

    There's a very good reason hodgson didn't want liverpool passing it around, bar stevie g they don't have the players to do it.

    A foul is an impediment of the progression of a player/ Berbatov was not impeded, so it was no foul. Soccer isn't a non contact sport.

    Once contact was made with the player and not the ball it was a foul. It was in the box which made it a pen.

    Ah, should have at least got that on target!
    Well played by Hernandez though.

    I have seen under12 teams in the local park play more attractive football than Liverpool today.

    Dear god.

    Howard Webb got the red card spot on. If it was Carrick who did it the Liverpool massive would be calling it a red.

    Long ball up to Torres. Long ball up to Torres. Do ye have any other tactic. Dear god , what a shambles.

    Another insightful post of absolute quality from you there, Lady Gaga!

    Fully agree. If Johnson gets back in ahead of him while he is playing like this you have to ask questions.

    Pretty good at getting forward too.

    Johnson has some proper competition. And I'd like to see him at CB one day
