Guest Len B'stard Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Oh dear dear dear David Moyes, oh dear oh dear oh dear. So he leaves Everton and their fortunes change for the good and he takes over at the champions and they become mid-table Job well done Dave!

The Sandman Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Frustrating: good possession statistics which we convert into nothing, a Jones special and then a great counter. Damn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Typical that this be the season where my interest in ManUtd awoke again. Oh well, I was there during the whole 90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.wa.T Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Chelsea games interesting.You know alot more about euro football than I so Ill ask, you really think that was a foul in the box?? Imo, the ref blew that call. The defender never touched him, it was the opposite. More like a flop. I hate that...If he doesn't have a clean line of sight the ref shouldn't call it. Pen for me. Altidore is trying to put his foot down and can't plant it because of his leg.Looked to me like Altadore stepped on the defenders leg and that's what took him out. Altadore was initiating contact imo.But whatever, thanks for answering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1989 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Well on that basis can I run into a penalty area, deliberately stand on a defenders foot and fall over because I DESERVE MY OWN SPACE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Totts Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Once again the argument comes down to the fact we can view a replay from several angles before coming to the decision. Referees get a couple of seconds before making a decision and based on his positioning and angle it looks like a clear penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Hopefully Moyes can put together a couple of decent results to stay employed at least for the start of next season .Liverpool fan.Seriously though it's like McClaren getting the England job.

Tater Totts Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Well my thoughts on the penalty decision are this:Azpilicueta tried to slide in and block a cross.He did not make contact with Altidore.Altidore trod on the defender's leg and slipped over causing him to go down.It was not a foul and it was not a dive. A goalkick should have been awarded to Chelsea and play continued like normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sandman Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 You could do Azpilicueta on the "attempts to" clause if you fancy it. It's a no win situation for a referee there, and amongst my colleagues it's still not entirely clear cut - but in that moment, I believe it was the right decision.Once again the argument comes down to the fact we can view a replay from several angles before coming to the decision.

Tater Totts Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 And as a result you end up with people arguing it was a pen, people arguing it wasn't and of course people slating the refs for giving it.If it had been given against Spurs I would have been pissed.

Guest NGOG Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) The Chelsea defender committed to the challenge, and inadvertently brought the striker down with his right leg (ironically, it was the left leg he used to attempt the tackle).The striker didn't play for the penalty, he was merely planting his left leg in order to turn. Conclusion: clear penalty Edited April 20, 2014 by NGOG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris1989 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Well done to Luis Suarez on his classy performance holding his leg then recovering in an instant to join an attack. Also well done to Luis Suarez for berating the referee for at least 40 seconds.I guess that is what Brenda and Kenny Dogleash were talking about when they said that the title would be won in the classy Liverpool way.

Tater Totts Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Instead of whinging about Liverpool you could just accept they've been better than you this season and you don't deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NGOG Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Liverpool are currently among the most watchable outfits in world football. The scousers you so hate are going to win a league title in the same year the Hillsborough campaign begins to gain traction. They're on the verge of scoring 100 league goals - something which is very rarely done. They have the best conventional striker in the world.Chelski pale in comparison. Through a lack of spirit - certainly in comparison to the ferocious passion of LFC - they've botched their hopes of league glory. They've just thrown away their manager's proud record, and can only hope to reach a token Champions League Final. Where even if they do get by Atlectico - will get absolutely smashed by either Bayern, or Mourinho's former club.Clearly that makes you mad, but you should try harder to contain your bigoted sour grapes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris1989 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 No Miser or Redhead in this thread and I'm the only Chelsea fan therefore must be the threads abused member no matter what my opinion.Totts, don't put words in my mouth - never said Chelsea deserve the title, actually said the opposite numerous times in the past few weeks, praising the desire and pace of the Liverpool players.Ngog, a token Champions League final? Fucking hell, in this thread I've read numerous people say that winning the CL is more important that the Prem. You're a United fan so I guess you're downplaying the CL because you're not going to be in it for 18 months minimum.Pappy, I guess you're fine with Suarez' antics today then? If so, your opinion is worthless. If you didn't like them, why attack me rather than agree? I guess from the Heysel and Hillsborough comments you don't like the truth and pointing out the hypocrisy of Dogleash and Tranny Fucker Brendan was too much for you again.Peace y'all, busy day ahead.

Honestly, you just come across as a punk who isn't getting his own way. It's absolutely pathetic that you can't make comments about Liverpool, its players or its manager without resorting to silly little names. Dogleash and Brenda - is that the level of your intellect? Can't you come up with something better than that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
