Stadium of lights' Beach-ball Goal Appeal?

Quit with the F***ing whining - appeal my ARSE. We're not Man U

Or Neil Warnock or Fat Sam!

I actually hear there will be an investigation by the FA looking into cheating by Liverpool having 12 balloons on the pitch instead of 11.

Heard this earlier which quite amused me...everybody played like a balloon barring Pepe. 

Anyway, I agree with everyone who says we shouldn't appeal.  Play sh*t like that and you deserve to lose.

what happens if sunderland qualify for europe 1 point ahead of other teams,will they complain then and try to sue

We lost the game because we played like muppets, if they hadn't scored from the beach ball, they'd have scored some other way.

Well there's a chance it could have ended 0-0 because they fluffed some golden chances as well, but yes we certainly didn't deserve anything but maybe a point, which then woulda been harsh on Sunderland.
Fact is, although id love for their to be a way to be able to replay the match, scrap it, it won't. Hopefully it'll set an example, but for now let's just move on. We are not a club that looks for excuses, thats those cu*ts down in Manchester. Let's be that club we always have been who holds ourselves accountable and doesn't try to gloss over a sh*te performance with an excuse.
Look at what went wrong, fix it, move on and then stuff these manc bas**rds this weekend.

Let it go folks. We played sh*te, they got a lucky break. We lost. these are the facts. Nothing is going to change. Just take it on the chin.

how can steve bruce say sunderland dserved to win,to win you need to put away your chances,sunderland were actually lucky this goal was given otherwise they would have been criticised for not taken their chances

No point of an appeal as the team were shocking.

Well started playing more like themselves on the 60min mark - better once Masc came on.  Still would have preferred a draw tothe loss but nothing can be done now

Appeal?No,nothing's going to change the result, so move on to the Lyon game.

Lyon = Lion.

Lion = cat.

Cats like playing with balls.

Come on lads.

Let's hope the only balls we see are attached to our players.

The referee did consult with his assistant before allowing the goal. He said " should I allow that goal, I'm sure if any outside influence interfears with the ball I have to halt the game, have the object removed,  and restart the game with a drop ball"? ANSWER. " Yeah, but it's against Liverpool, you know the instructions, F**k the rules, you have to give the goal". 

Absolutely shocking decision to give this goal but nothing will happen about it,let's just move on to the Lyon game.

Theres more chance of Everton winning the Premier Leagu than any appeal being heard or game being replayed, just another we have to put behind us and march onto the next game. The whole team was piss poor and got their just desserts for a lackluster display, Sunderland got a bit of luck , but thats football.

Maybe the supporter who threw the beach ball on did it for Voronin in the hope he could score with it ? but anyway the result stands and should be a lesson to all officials ...if there is a foreign object on the pitch ( no i don't mean Voronin ) then remove it after stopping play and a bounce up .

No your'e wrong,if it is Voronin,still remove it.

Reckon it would have been 0-0 myself.

Anyway, it does raise a pretty important question.  Premiership referee's get a fair amount of pay these days.

I'm fairly sure they only have two requirements in their job

a) be physically fit
b) know the laws of the game

Is it really asking too much for referees in a league worth billions of pounds to have read the rules of the game?

They're too worried about the FA's 'this season' clauses to think about the actual rules. They must run around thinking 'If two feet off the floor then yellow card, even if ball won', or repeating the off-side clause in their heads 'if he's coming back and doesn't touch it, but when he does'...

Plus, they're all sh*t.

We're not going to get anything out of an appeal, we never F***ing do.
But, if we had an alcoholic as a manager, were arrogant tw*ts, and hired our ex players to score 90th minute own goals we'd get everything given to us.

The general opinion on this subject is that because we played so poorly people want to forget about the beach ball and move on.

Fans are saying that we had 85 minutes to score, and we were sh*te, so we deserved to lose anyway. Some are admitting that only thanks to Reina we kept it to 1-0 where it could have been 3-0.

Could it be that a freak deflection off a beach ball could become the catalyst for the players to turn it all around? If at the end of the season we are parading the trophy around Liverpool will we be saying "this all started with infamous "beachball" incident.
"we never lost another game after the beachball incident"
