1000th decision in liverpool's favour this season

[teppic]

roberts scores. he is onside.

anfield linesman verdict? flag up. disallow that goal. job done.

 

[Blue 1]

Anyone else notice that it's the same guy who disallowed AJ's goal at Blackburn earlier in the season?

 

[teppic]

the correct decision table that is doing the rounds has us in clear 3rd place if we had got the correct decisions this season.

it's a stacked deck.

 

[toffeestillidie]

not to mention that babel might be the easiest player to foul in the world, thats how they got passed arsenal and he won a free kick there too

[Poor language removed] gerrard just scored, looks like its 5th or bust for us this term

 

[teppic]

ball out of play in the build up to liverpools goal.

result? play on!


roberts clean through and brought down by last man.

result? yellow card!


surely it's not just evertonians noticing this?

 

[artetas_biggest_fan]

Skrtel should have been OFF. Had that been us then a red card would have been shown...as usual the refs look after the big boys. Also, Roberts was ONSIDE when he scored.

Gerrard maybe the worlds best midfielder but he is one hypocritical shithouse...he hates divers apparently. How [Poor language removed] ironic. Yet when the mention of the games worst divers come up its the likes of AJ who get slaugtered...no mention of captain fantastic Gerrard.

Also..the ladyboy Torres took a dive today also. Why the best striker in the world feels the need to do that i do not know...he wasnt like that at Atletico...maybe hes learning off Gerrard.


Luckypool strike again.

Maybe I'm paranoid (no, I'm not the RS bastards are going to grind us down once again)... but I struggle to remember any significant decisions ever going our way. Then I wonder "is it cos I is Blue" and do I choice to forget them? Let's face it the 2 biggest decisions that seem to have gone our way in recent years have been highlighted over and over again as "huge injustices" whereas when these sorts of things happen to other teams (and I'm thinking those spawny horrible gobsheites here fellow Blues) it's just the so-called "rub of the green". Well I'm sorry but I'm rather tired of the hackneyed "it was over the line" BS against Bolton back in 1997 and the accusations that Wimbledon threw the game against us (how come they went 2 up then?).

So, back on topic - how come it's not common currency outside Toffeeworld to discuss all of the following without being accused of being a Bitter, almost as though the RS have a godlike authority to ride roughshod over the rules of the game:

1. The Derby Match 2007

a. Kuyt nearly kneecaps Phil Neville and gets --- a yellow card
b. Gerrard makes minimal contact (outside the box perhaps) - shall we generously say "falls into Tony Hibbert" - and not content with awarding The RS the most dubious of penalties Captain Fantastic (he of the Naysmith Testicle Removal Exercise) complains and gets a red card for his opponent.
c. Kuyt handles the ball in the build up to the 2nd penalty.
d; Carrybag manhandles Lescott (oh dear not once but twice - and lo, Anichebe is also manhandled in the build-up to the 2nd incident - but no, the ref misses this.

Then of course we could discuss the disallowed 4th Milan goal in 2005, the Chavski winner (was it over the line?) in the semi of 2005, the Gerrard dives (Sheffield Utd, penalty!!!), Villa (this season, wins free-kick - scores last minute winner), Sheffield Utd (home) - warns ref then claims foul for decisive penalty amongst so many, we could discuss the general bitching over the Mascherano sending-off and (non-frivolous) appeal and compare it with the Alliadiere incident where he, unsurprisingly got off scot-free. This list is so endless - the penalty that wasn't at The Emirates, the penalty that was always going to be given in the return leg, the bitching over the Chavski penalty at Analfield this season... and should we even dare to mention the "right to defend the trophy argument" or who was responsible for Heysel or Hillsborough and we are really treading on dangerous ground, whilst remembering all the non-ticket holders who sneaked into the 2007 final (just as for instance!) - but actually I can't be bothered anymore!

In all the excitement I plum forget about the 2 soft red-cards that Inter suffered in the 2 legs - the crucial first leg (early) red card for 2 powderpuff challenges on Fernando Nobalance Tosser.

2. Lest one should suddenly have selected memories of Derby match incidents I should recall:

a. The Clive Thomas moment
b. The Naysmith tackle (mentioned above)
c. The McCallister extra 10 yards free-kick
d. The Westerweld mess-up (hitting Don on the arse and going into the net but no, time has elapsed...)
e. The Hansen Wembley foul - look no penalty
f. The Nevin penalty (FA Cup 1990) at Anfield we didn't get.

3. Should I think perchance that it's just The RS that benefit from all our woes - or not - here's some more...

a. All the AJ's penalties we don't seem to get
b. Blackburn (onside) goals and penalty - this season
c. Arsenal favoured twice by handball goals in build up this season - not to mention or compare Bentner's tackle (2nd yellow!!) with Mikel Arteta's red card
d. The Baros double handball (first goal) and manhandling by Villa in build-up to 2nd goal
e. Collina - who could forget that?
f. Tony Kay
g; Missing out on European football 1985 onwards.. (I wonder who I should blame for this then?)


I guess I'm just going to have to put my Blue-tinted spectacles down and accept that all those decisions were absolutely correct (or wrong when the RS were slighted)...

thats's a good post to get all this stuff together.

we should make a dossier and post it the the f.a so they can have a new.. erm.. well bin liner knowing those hopeless suits.

Great post Dan. There are others but I have tried for years to forget them, try Albert Dunlop, club fines for throwing in the 60's when Analfield and OT did it week in and week out we ended up having to put the half moons in, how many remember them

the only call that was supposedly blatant that went against the [Poor language removed] in recent memory is this term against chelsea, i didn't see the match myself but supposedly liverpool had an appeal for something or the other, i'm not sure but my friend who's red wouldn't stop moaning about it.

as far as football karma goes, i think they're wayyyy overdue for their comeuppance. that team [Poor language removed] embodies the phrase "i'd rather be lucky than good", and when any of us point it out we're labeled "bitters".

out of all the ridiculousness, i personally believe the 07 derby takes the cake, like you showed Dan there's a whole list of fuckups just from that one game!

also as for our misfortunes that others benefit from, definitely add chelsea home last year to the list, should have won that game 2-0 (chelsea goal came after a foul on Arteta, both a mistake on the referees part and unsportsmanlike to play on when a player is clearly hurt, then Faddy knocked in the second one just to be called back for passive offsides)
