Liverpool FC v Newcastle United Official Build Up / Match Day Thread

I don't agree with that. Colo was wound up today, but he didn't make contact, nor look likely to make contact with his leg. Raheem and Nahin have made bad challenges today and escaped the book completely.

 

what when he is on goal? contact and he went down thats a penalty

skertal was a yard away fm the ball and caught his trailing leg! dont listen to the arseholes on sky if it was any other team they would be talking about it.

 

Do you seriously know what is studs up?

 

Read my comment. Fouls should be viewed in isolation. Regardless of Sterling's challenge, Colo was deservedly sent off. Nothing else matters but Colo's tackle.

EDIT: Here it is everyone.

Biting wont end someone's career, if he had made contact with that it could have done, much worse

 

Elmander wasn't it?

Williamson and Coloccini both got bans from that game. Awful stuff.

 

Yup, par for the course really. Let's not forget Sahin going two footed on Ben Arfa in the first half and not even getting a booking

 

Thought we just about deserved the point. I reckon we could of won that if Ba and Cabs hadn't picked up knocks. That handed them the iniative and they only scored due to Cisse playing that awful pass back to Guti. What has happened to Cisse???

 

Yes, its this:

Classic... Just love it when fans have a 5 minute memory! Love it!


Aside from what I'm sure will be acted appropriately on by the FA, two outstanding goals (though Colo and Krul probably could have done a lot better)... We were poor and still got a point. Yahoo I say, yahoo!

 

If you only look at things in isolation then consistency will never be achieved. Consistency is all most fans want.

 

Thats total rubbish, the challenge made by Suarez just last week was worse and worthy of a red

 

I agree! a better point for us than for them and again with 10 men!!!!! we have no cover for Ba, Cabaye or Colo. he will get 3 games now

 

Cry me a river, good enough for the wee rat. And yes bites can be extremely infectious. More chance of a ruined career from a septic infection than a non tackle.

And there was the bad challenge from Suarez a short while back which was worse, plus others last season.

 

Yes it was Elmander lol..seems like he's disappeared already

 

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha Scouse wit in evidence, bravo sir

That video clearly shows no contact and that is most certainly NOT a career ending challenge, but I think it's more deserving of a red than Tiote's tackle vs Sunderland to be honest.

 

he missed ha ha by miles ??? ok then what about sterlings un booked two footed studs up challenge on Cisse? I think Colo pulled out but initial inted was ther, however I feel let down for the ref not seeing a blatemnt penalty at 1-0 and over all he gave us nothing all afternoon.

 

Went off to Turkey apparently. We were actually linked with him for a while - Glad that one never happened.

 

In game the referee must act on each incident in isolation, punishing the foul as it merits. That is what happened. Consistency is an issue, but it's rather immaterial. Every referee in the league would have sent Colo off. That's just how it is.

On other flash points...

- Raheem should have been booked, for sure. His youth got him away with it.
- Sahin could have been booked, also. Few big tackles. The incident you're all talking about was during a passage of play with several diving tackles if I remember? Hard to say about it until I've seen it again.
- The Skrtel challenge wasn't a penalty, and fair play to Ameobi for not looking one.

It was about intent.

There's a good video on YouTube of Rooney trying to break Krancjar's legs - he misses and is booked. Quite similar.

 

Liverpool are ****!!!! we'll trounce them again at home once he crowd doesn't win every 50 50 decsion for them.

We have a run of games that are winnable for the forst time this season now but without Colo, Tiote, Ba and Cabaye they are no longer winable actually???/ ffs
