Liverpool 0-0 Tottenham: In game and post match Deja Vu.

Point taken Rush. Rusty sounds like the perfect word for what happened to be honest. However, you know as well as i do that shouldn't stop the letter of the law being applied.

 Stop chatting bollocks. If the letter of the law was applied there's be a dozen penalties per match for shirt tugging and holding from corners. There'd be ten free kicks per match for obstruction as people "shielded" the ball out. There'd be half a dozen foul throws per game, six sendings off for "foul and abusive language", everybody else remaining sent off for "ungentlemanly conduct".

 If the "letter of the law was applied" the ref would finish the match standing on the pitch on his own (and before some smart arse comes on I know the game would be abandoned before then). If the "letter of the law" was applies, Rooney wouldn't last a half, Nani would be permanently suspended for diving, and Ferguson would be permanently banished to the stands and banned from giving interviews.

 Don't talk bollocks. 

The Skrtel booking was a complete joke because the ref based on Bale's reaction and not the tackle itself. Look at the incident again and you will see the delay in Oliver giving the free kick and it looks like play is going to continue. I've said it before if Bale wasn't british then he would be slated all over the place for his over reaction to every challenge. I like Oliver as a ref, he's certainly improved since I first saw him in the Blue Square Premier when he was hopeless and did nothing to remove the suggestion that his promotion was due to his old man Ray being an ex ref. The Suarez yellow was not a red. When you look at slow notion replays everything looks worse. As for the game a combination of poor finishing and a poor final ball cost us again. A lack of width to help break down a defence like that certainly did not help especially as Dirk always cuts inside.

Rooney received criticism for his comment, but defended his own disciplinary record when responding to fans who questioned him.

"For everyone saying about my aggression i aint had 1 yellow card in premier league this season," he said.

What the heck does not getting a yellow card in this season's premier league has anything to do with his aggression when he's done lunges and kicked people in the past?

I like how the media can only highlight Suarez's kick and no one wants to mention Gareth cheating Bale.

Stop chatting bollocks. 

 Don't talk bollocks. 

I'm not, your doing that for me. 

No player would intentionally attempt to kick another player like that.. At worst it was a mistimed attempt at an over head kick, a mistake, red cards shouldn't be given out for a mistimed attempt at a shot.

And the comment above that a player of Suarez's class wouldn't air shot like that is bollocks... So a player of Suarez's class wouldn't ever miss a one on one? Wouldn't miss a chance we expect him to take?

Anyone who thinks he did that on purpose is frankly talking sh*te..

If it WAS deliberate, so what exactly? To my mind, we'd have to get away with quite a few before the scores would be even. Suarez is just back from an eight game ban for doing absolutely f*ck all wrong (and if you don't believe me show me the evidence). We got Spearing sent off at Fulham earlier this season for absolutely f*ck all which cost us the game. We got Gerrard sent off in the cup and Man U last season for f*ck all, after having conceded a penalty in the same game for f*ck all. The Mancs are off the back of having four penalties in two matches (which is surely a record), two penalties AWAY in the same match to a top four rival (which is surely a first) and get away with f*cking murder every week.

 So don't expect any apologies or hand wringing from me. The referee saw the incident and booked Suarez, that'll do for me. I'm used to getting f*ck all off referees and offialdom in general, if they slipped up this time and gave us a bit of a result, so what?

So nothing. Just saying.

I can't believe the sh!t i'm reading at the moment.  Mistimed...((as you put it! ))... happen all the time and a red card follow.

Your the only one talking sh!te if you don't think you should get a red for the severity of a miss timed tackle.

Yeah, well, show me a ref that's consistent...

Tell me where I said mis-timed tackle you F***ing clown.

Its there for you

They ain't. They're given for kicking another player in the guts. But I'm not saying it was a coldly calculated piece of brutality, I'm saying it was a rush of blood. Almost an instinctive act. And if that's mistimed to you, it doesn't really say much for his perceptive skills.

Slicing a kick, or even air shooting is different to what Suarez did. He kicked out when the ball was around Parker's head ffs. That's some serious mistiming you got there.

I disagree.

Tell me where I said mis-timed tackle you f**king clown.

You said at worse which implies. No need for the abuse though.

Fair enough, a mis-timed 'kick', but still, that's a stretch to belive he mistimed that badly

Its there for you

The only thing I can see is mis-timed attempt at a shot and mistimed attempt at an overhead kick..

Not tackle. That's a different matter.

He did but the ball was dropping and it is hard to judge I agree but if the ball didn't hit Parkers head there is every chance Luis had timed his kick to connect with the ball.

Can you not read either Rush? Shot not tackle.. There is a difference between a mistimed sliding tackle and an attempted over head kick..

Trying to paint over what you've already said doesn't really work. Lets just move on and disagree.

It's a bigger stretch to say he lost his head and kicked the player with intent.

Yup, and I edited my post to reflect that.

Personally, I think Suarez is a bit like Maradonna, Cantona, Ballotelli etc. Genius, but a flawed genius. He's an awesome player, but I believe he gets a rush of blood to the head, and he's his own worst enemy. Sometimes he does things before thinking.

I'm not painting over anything, there is a massive difference between for example trying to go for an over head kick and getting it wrong to say the Shawcross mis-timed tackle on Aaron Ramsey a couple of seasons back.. In my opinion.

No back tracking just a different aspects of the game.

terrible stench of Manc on here today.
the team need a collective Viagra at home these days.

Shame we didnt get the win, puts a bit more pressure on us to get a result against the mancs at the weekend.  Played well again i thought, Johnson and Carroll had stormers and Stevie had his best game since coming back.
Jus a shame that Carroll and Luis couldnt put away their decent chances, dont get many chances against the likes of spurs, u gotta put them in the back of the net. 
Still well in the running for 4th spot tho.
