Didn't mean to sound patronising and if I was then I apologise. I did say however "The distance is a mitigating circumstance, and if that is what the ref base his decission on then fair enough."

Learn the rules before you comment is pretty patronising... <laugh>

I do think we can all agree that Dunk should never have been sent off though.... <whistle>

Totally different, Taylor was facing the ball and had his arms above his head. Greer had his back turned and the natural movement of turning your back meant his arms moved.

What I would be saying to both is, Taylor, why are you sticking your arms by your face, head the ball away you tart.

And Greer your a Scottish CB, man uP face the ball and take one in the stomach

Taylor had his back to him and hands below his head though! The two are almost the same except Ibe was crossing not shooting - and more pertinently it wasnt at Anfield against Liverpool. Therefore not given.

It's a good sign for liverpool that they are on the way back though, getting those decisions. 5 years ago you'd have to be ManU or Chelsea to get these.

If I wasn't on phone if try find the snapshot of both of those incidents and put them side by side so you could see exactly how different they are. Might even do it as homework tonight?
 
Hoilett was very good last night. Went on runs and put in some decent crosses and passes. He also tracked back and won a lot of tackles............................

And yet............he still gets slagged off. Even after watching someone play well, some people still can't hide their prejudiced view of that individual.
Quite pathetic really!

Didn't watch much of the game so can't comment. What did he do? I was at the Burnley game and thought he was largely invisible.

Dare I say when he's absolute dross some people can't hide their prejudiced positive view of him?

I've been waiting for some of these performances from him, I was excited when we signed him but has been well below par, now at last he seems to have got his confidence back because the management pick him & give him a run in the team at last, long May it continue.

Tiny nudge my arse. Clear push and the fact that the ref and the linesman didn't see when the rest in the whole stadium clearly saw it was terrible officialdom.

I've commented before that live spectators get a better overall perspective than armchair fans viewing close ups on tv footage. However the close up replays are revealing. Sandro went down like a house of cards in a gentle gust of wind. The beast needs to man up.

From last night's showing Brighton aren't a good team they are a lucky and dirty team. Lots of constant small fouls to break up and disrupt flow of the game. Proper ref would have dealt with it. Instead Instead had an idiot. Having a 30 second conversation with their number 3 in injury time summed up how clueless he was about their tactics.

We are solid enough but if Brighton were lucky Hall is using all our luck. Every single game he makes at least one serious **** up but fortunately they never score no matter how easy the chance so it isn't remembered. 5 mins in he got turned inside out in the box and then same again in 2nd half after not dealing with it. Hopefully it's just inexperience and with this game time he learns quick.

Hoilett again. Improvement on what we are used to but unless he is scoring goals or making assists then he needs to be out the team for Chery who despite barely playing already has almost caught him up in goals scored for the club. Hoilett may be trying a bit harder all of a sudden if after 3 and a half cushy years on ridiculous money then with 6 months to go he's realised **** I need to convince someone else to let me nick a living!! He can't cross and he can't shoot and that's what really matters. He also has no football intelligence perfect example was in final minutes when on the line inside penalty box instead of heading it back in he tried to chest it down whilst jumping backwards off the pitch!! And as usual he gave his usual handful of fouls often in range for them to get a ball in the box.

Another one who needs to contribute is Fer. Not doing enough to justify a start. First touch has become awful. He's had enough games now to sort himself.

With Faurlin Sandro forming a base and Austin up front this team has got a chance of doing well. Defensively we'll be good enough but unless likes of Fer and Hoilett also start providing actual real contributions with goals and assists then we need to look to those who have proven they can contribute where it matters with JET and Chery. Then we'll have a chance of winning games.

I've been highly critical in the past but he was excellent against Brighton. He went both ways and crossed, passed, dribbled and relieved pressure superbly.

I think it must be a sign of his confidence that when he's low he tries to do too much but his decision making was much better. Great work rate as well.

It was a joy to watch both wingers causing havoc in their own ways.

Spot on.
I've been very critical of Phillips too, but he was also very good against Brighton.

Is this truth and reconciliation? My turn.

I've been critical of Mackie and have seen nothing to make me change my mind. Indeed I've seen literally nothing, has he had something amputated?


Not sure I've got the hang of this.
