City v Liverpool - Post Match Thread

[citytillicry65]

Has anybody got a link to Aguero's disallowed goal? The fact that it wasn't repeated on Sky (or included in their highlights package) is odd to say the least.

Hi, it was definitely a couple of yards offside. I froze Match of the Day to check!

The point of red carding that type of challenge is that it deters the more cynical deliberate use of a high boot to intimidate, which threatens the opponent with injury to make him take his eye off the ball. You can't start guessing whether or not intent is behind the action. Only the player can know that and they don't usually own up. It's not park football, they're playing for large sums of money and some will do anything to get an edge.

Does it matter?

Never said it does matter. I was simply asking a question.

The fact that all of these pundits were far more concerned by Mane's sending off than Edersons well-being says it all really.

The red card shouldn't even be up for debate. It's one of the most blatant red cards in PL history.

Whilst the rule book clearly explains why it was a red card, I'd also like to point out the whole hypocracy of the media in regards to these sorts of challenges.

Rewind to the first game of the season when Chelsea played Burnley. Cahill overstretched for a ball, that was there to be won, but the Burnley player nipped in first and got caught high on the leg.

Every single fucking pundit agreed that it wasn't malicious, it was an accident, but still a sending off. There were no sky sports polls about how harsh it was, or no outcry from Gary Neville about how Cahill's eyes were on the ball and he didn't mean it. It was about how the ref got the decision right but Cahill was unlucky.

I actually don't blame the Dippers for believing they've been robbed. They live in a 1940 Germanyesque society of propaganda where their club can do no wrong and they lap it up.

Also, for all the talk of the magical Anfield atmosphere and the passionate LFC fans just have a look at the away end come the 80th minute yesterday. 5/6ths of those vermin had already fucked off back to Wales, Norway or whatever other shithole they stem from.

Horrible fans, horrible club who even make United fans seem decent.

Agree, but I simply have a burning hatred for them, always have, always will

Worse than the rags for me. Much, much worse actually.

 

[The blue phantom]

They have always been the worst scum for me, but years ago, if a group of Liverpool fans had started doing that, they would likely have been shouted down by the older ones.

Seems they have just scum now & no decent ones left.

I'm sure they do. Its hard to believe every single last one of them are horrible bastards. Ive seen some pure ****s in our own fan base over the years. Every club has them.

I did have a look on Rawk and the more reasoned ones were ripping the idiots apart who thought it was a non red.

 

[Impeccable One]

if we are going to carry on 3 at the back we should of kept zabba to play the right hand side of the 3 ,ota is not the answer

Congratulations ... one of the most blinkered quotes ever in a post match thread. Ota is not quick ... but Zabba looks like he runs in reverse towards the twilight of his career.

 

[Bluep*ss]

This is a great pic.
I wonder if Klipperty Klopp will have it framed and put on his wall. You can see the Boot and Edison' right cheek 'wobbling' with the force - very lucky to get away without a smashed jaw.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Always hated the blue dippers more but these last couple of years these cnuts have certainly exceeded themselves in twattery

Self righteous, obnoxious, self pitying, half witted fuckers

Only the Rags compare to this lot at the moment

Anyone know of a way to watch MOTD highlights. I've tried bbc iPlayer but to no avail? Thanks x
