    Nope i seen a very soft pen decsion win the game for a team who had a player advantage for over an hour and unable to score again

    Why did they need to score again?. 1-0 is a win ya?

    I saw a debatable penalty, a player going over the top in a tackle and getting a deserved red and a team comfortably passing the ball around and seeing out the game without much effort

    That penalty has really made me despise football.

    What would Berba do if he came up against Paul Galvin or Paul O'Connell...

    By the letter of the law its a penalty, but not by the spirit of it.

    I might as well watch Dancing on Ice, at least Katonia will get stuck in!!!

    I bet you dont despise football when decisions like that go for your team

    Nice wan :)

    Rafael MOTM for me -- terrific performance

    Kelly was pretty good too

    It happens in a lot of games and nothing happens refs are not going to change that mid season

    I know but by the letter of the law it's a foul and should be a penalty. Same goes for Agger clipping Berbatov's ankle in the box. Neither is Webb's fault in fairness to the guy. Liverpool fans are entitled to blame Agger for stupidly taking a chance in the box, and if they want to they can blame Berbatov for making the most of it, but why blame Webb for simply doing his job correctly?

    Are we supposed to believe referees like Webb ought to view some fouls as acceptable simply because they take place in the box, or do we want a game where fouls in the box are penalised just like they are outside the box?

    My main hope is that Dalglish's eyesight remains as good for the remainder of the season as it was today, when, and not if Gerard or Torrres take a tumble under a soft challenge.

    Three one up at Goodison in injury time and the game finished three all.

    Two nil up against West Brom at Old Trafford and the game finished two all.

    Away at Fulham. You even let us back into the league match when we should never have been.

    You's are top of the league and deservedly so. All i'm saying is, you's can be got at, That's all

    Whats your point, every team in the world can be got at

    Enjoyed that. Utd did what they had to. Liverpool missed Torres today.

    You can blame Webb as his assistant who had a better view of it did not give it and they play by the same rules.

    You also have to remember this is the same ref who told Blackpool players that they were too honest in the box and should go down more to get pens.

    I thought Reina did really well today, must have made 5 saves in 30 seconds.

    Both teams hate each other. It doesn't matter what competition its in the fans would expect the same level of commitment anytime those two teams meet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,487 ✭✭✭Mister men


    Disgraceful display form the ref but that was to be expected given his track record againest us.

    Overall very very happy with the perfromance from the lads, Torres aside. Delighted to see the King back at the helm almost surreal. onward and upward redmen.:)

    I didn't disagree with That, but johnny evans won't be playing in the CL final when we're there in may.

    After being reduced to 10 men after 30 minutes. Before which Liverpool were on top.

    Could have swore we were one nil up at that stage.:D

    I thought web did well today the penalty is an obvious contentious decision but I can see why it was given for the rest of the game I don't think he made any mistakes I can remember.

    After a very dubious penalty award. Look good luck to United, won the game, pretty comfortably against 10 men for the last hour. If your happy with the quality of the United performance great.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 17,275 ✭✭✭✭Nalz


    my honest opinion

    Rafael was very good
    Stevie G two footed diving in and late = red
    I've seen alot worse red cards though
    It was a penalty, and United werent going to get another after the ref gave that and sent him off

    Liverpool played well, and could have easily got a draw
    Torres, its a shame he's in such poor from
    I fancy pool to kick on from this though

    Nah. It wasn't a disgraceful display. He arguably got one decision wrong, there was contact, player went down very easy but it's very tough for a ref to call, it would have looked like a peno to him. Apart from that what did he get wrong? Johnny evans should have had a peno alright, he got that wrong.

    Can't blame the ref today it didn't just come down to one decision in the first minute ffs.

    Howard Webb MOTM.

    Was all over the pitch, had the assist for United's goal. Bossed midfield, such was his influence you'd think Gerrard wasn't even on the pitch. Was a danger with every set piece of the match and was only let down by his team mates to keep the score @ 1-0

    I have to say your posting is possibly the most biased I have ever seen Gerrard deserved to go there is no denying that

    You'd seem alot less bitter if you'd instead blame this man for leaving yous a man down for most of the match:

    No,

    I was annoyed at the soft peno for arsenal yesterday. I needed a draw like a hole in the head. At least Theo admitted he went down easy.

    I fairly despised some of the fans I experienced at the emarites though, such racism, sexism and homophobia.

    Football played well is wonderful, cynical football makes me reach for the remote.

    MOTM was King Kenny saying it wasnt a spotter , berb was tripped and gerrard 2 feet left the floor. 2 decisions Webb got spot on.

    Please don't ever stop posting.

    Your ridiculous bias and lolworthy posts make this place fun to be in.
