Lol! No worries mate. Agree with you though, St Kenneth of Govan's Beatified Aigburth XI may have got the better of us, but neither convincingly nor without the help of the officials.Chippy_boy said:strongbowholic said:It's Phil Dowd and their pen at our place was nailed on. Otherwise spot on.Chippy_boy said:I made this point in the in-match thread, but suffice it to say...
In 6 hours of football, Liverpool scored 1 proper goal. 2 penalties that were not penalties and 1 rudiculous fluke deflection off Lescott.
We scored 5 goals from open play.
Tonight, we won 3-1 were it not for Mark Dowd "adjustments".
Sorry, Mark Dowd is a bloke at work, doh. And I must have wiped the Gerard pen at ours from my memory. But still.

Mark Hughes got a lot of stick on this forum for buying over rated players but some of the signings Roberto has made since he has been here have been made to look foolish.
dzeko = Fail
Kolarov = Fail
Savic = Fail
Johnson = Fail
you could even add balotelli to that list really, what worries me most that is if you take 2 players out of our side we look completly average and our midfield is shite .
Can I also add
Nasri as a winger = Fail

Dont rise to it mate. He will get pleasure from that. However, i agree. Sad little rag **** if u ask me. Squirming because we have only just started a will be a force to be reckoned with for years to come.
Roberto Mancini left Anfield convinced that a penalty that shouldn't have been given, and one that should, robbed City of a return to Wembley in the Carling Cup.
Nigel de Jong's second-ever City goal and Edin Dzeko's 15th of the campaign twice gave the Blues hopes of the final as they battled to wipe out Liverpool's 1-0 first-leg lead.
But a hotly-disputed penalty from Steven Gerrard, whose spot kick decided the Etihad tie, and former Blue Craig Bellamy squeezed Liverpool through despite Joe Hart's heroics.
Liverpool's penalty was extremely tough on Micah Richards, while Mancini was convinced that Charlie Adam should have been penalised for bringing down Dzeko earlier.
The Blues boss said: "Without the mistake on the penalty we would probably have won. It was no penalty. It should have been a penalty for us on Dzeko.
"The penalty for Dzeko was 100 per cent. For Micah, the ball hit his leg before it hit his arm.
"I'm not being critical of the referee, I'm just giving my opinion."
Mancini added: "I'm happy with the performance. We're disappointed with the result but we can do nothing now.
"After the penalty in the first leg we played well. Tonight was more difficult, Liverpool were strong, but we scored two goals when we needed two goals to go to the final.
"Their second goal was a stupid goal when you are winning 2-1 here in a semi-final and concede a goal like we did. If you score two goals here, you should be in the final.
"All competitions are important and we did everything we could to reach the final - now it's finished and we have to think about the Barclays Premier League and the Europa League."
Mancini replaced centre-back Stefan Savic with Sergio Aguero at half time. He said: "Savic is young and needs to improve, he makes mistakes like we all do. We needed another striker, that was the reason for the change."
