    Gutted at the result, but delighted to finally see a bit of spirit from the lads, really tried to play some football when they had the chance, great running from everyone too. Thought pool defence coped very well with the united pressure, agger looked great, some great vision in defence with interceptions. Pen was obviously a bad call, clearly, but such is life.

    Onwards and upwards for pool hopefully!

    Yourself and all the other people saying it was a pen should do yourselves a favour and just admit it was a dive. Even the man himself couldn't keep a straight face when he was asked about it ffs.
    it was a penalty regardless of whether he went down or not and while I don't think it was a dive, even if it was he was still hampered by contact in the box and he shouldn't have to go down to be awarded the pen.

    Are the 'Webb is biased' brigade going to ignore the penalties for United he DIDN'T give?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,408 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    At least these lads doing the draw are better than the last pair of eejits they had in.

    Also, that Liverpool performance was nothing special. The full-backs looked solid, thats about it.

    Just got sick. Representatives of the forces doing the draw "to get the job done"

    Sky Sports had something on earlier about the forces in Afganistan. Is it an anniversary or somesuch?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Anyone but Stevenage.

    Did we not establish Shelvey got the ball and then Giggs went over his leg?

    Fellow Liverpool fans should give the Webb stuff a rest. United were good for their win. Focus on our own positives, for there were many, and you might enjoy the rest of your Sunday a bit better.

    Yes he is and today was no different... he was trying not to laugh such was the obvious nature of his dive!

    lol at Big Sam's body language analysis. He's right though :)

    I really enjoyed that game. And love the result.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,320 ✭✭✭v3ttel


    Home draw please

    They had some cheek to show the Steve Gerrard "going strong in the last 15 mins" ad at half time. :D

    I'm United born and bred but Liam that was never a peno, he was barely touched took a step and dived.

    Why is it LOL, Im being completely serious. It is a simple fact that Howard webb is extremely biased towards united, why in every game between the teams he ref's there are very very biased, unfair and questionable decisions in united's favour.

    Webb gave most 50/50 decisions pools way after the penalty, evans should have got a penalty and you think the ref was in uniteds pocket. The sending off of gerrard was a cert in every game and anyone who thinks otherwise is trolling or on drugs


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,009 ✭✭✭✭The Muppet


    Jeasus I dont know what sort of women people are but that was a good tough passionate tackle and a yellow was well enough. If by the rules that was a sending off, the rules need to change. Simple as that.

    Jesus we've just sorted the racism issue and sexism is introduced.:D

    Where's my popcorn.

    As a Pool fan, disappointed we lost to United today. Defeat is always disappointing, especially against United and the loss also puts us out of the FA Cup, but losing 1-0 at Old Trafford to a team like United is not the worst result in the world, considering we went down to 10 men.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 628 ✭✭✭blueshed


    great result,so glad to beat the old foe.

    giggs was brillant imo,a joy to watch.
    very happy with jonny evans also.

    would have loved the 2nd goal to relax me.

    bring on Southampton away

    So you won't wager on the full statement you made? Why am i not surprised? Chicken. If you make a statement back it up

    Can you read it fully. I said that I will but the fact that you will put a wager on Liverpool not going out of the cup as well says alot about you.

    Nothing any united fan says will take away from my happiness with that display from Liverpool, delighted with the performance.

    Well done on your win, but as far as Liverpool and our fans go, you just don't get it. But that's ok.

    Yeah you gotta be happy with how you peppered our goal.;)

    He did enough damage in the first half.

    The fool let fletcher man handle him at OT against arsenal a few weeks ago and did nothing. Mascharano was sent off at OT for giving out to ref!

    Liverpool fans can try and please themselves by claiming moral victories in keeping the score to 1-0 but really that team is poor and Kenny, Jose Mourinho or Bill Shankly could do nothing with them. Time to clear out and build again. Liverpool fans will need to have patience as it will take at least two years to rebuild and may need to sell Reina and Torres to help fund a rebuilding project.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 829 ✭✭✭pokerface_me


    Was just listening to 5live on the radio, commentator said Gerrard may face up to a 5 game ban if the FA decide it warrants one. Surely that can't be the case, it should only be a 3 game ban, think he has his wires crossed somewhere.

    Wasn't there a good shout for one on Evans? I don't think ITV bothered to replay it post-match but when they replayed the chaos in the box it looked one and even the commentators acknowledged as much.
