Interesting stat though, Liverpool have not actually won any of their last three trophies during actual playing time, all of them on the penalty lottery.:p:

PS, great come back from Oldham Athletic to beat Sheffield utd 3-2 from 2-0 down and with Rochdale holding Sheffield Wed to a draw it was a good day for my 'other ' teams.

Very true iadom but a trophy is a trophy.:)

Not a great deal anyone can do to counter van Persie at the moment, he's in the form of his life... as for our lot in front of goal, well.

Glad Arteta was ok, we had a good view of it where we were and nobody goes down like that for nowt, it looked very bad indeed.

Just a matter of when Abramovich pulls the trigger in my mind.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Just watched BBC highlights of the football...the guy on BBC commentary said it was a penalty...no way...it was a blatant dive

Thankfully crew in studio disagree

I would ban divers for 6 games

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Yes l agree it was a dive but l am afraid most refs are not clever enough to see though these dives.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

This is type of incident where i would bring in video evidence...that would support referees...help them by letting players know...if they cheat...they will get caught and punished

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

they wont do it. neither will they act after the game unless the refs says he didnt see it.. suppose to be some form of having the refs in control and thats it. pretty pathetic tbh.. the fa should revisit that rule and punish regardless if it warrants further action

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Good on ref...spotted some shocking tugging...gave penalty to sunderland..That is what i want to see more often.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

In the Newcastle/Sunderland the ref has given a excellent penalty decision.:tu:

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Insightful comment which I agree with totally :D

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Yes l did not see your slightly earlier post.:D:dozey:

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Shocking by tiote...it was a sending off..but no need to do the song and dance and fake injury

Another i would ban for 6 days...be thankful I don't do the rules :D

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

just as well as we'd all get confused who to ban for 6 days or 6 matches ;)

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

lol..oops...6 games

And AVB sacked...not sure it is right..unless they have someone to step in
