[Cripps_orig]

Decent goal but the chance after, thats the Sturridge we all know and love

[GP]

Sturridge :bow:

Always* been a fan.


*In this case, "always" might mean since Wednesday.

Following in his footsteps :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Bloody hell didn't realise Mansfield were dominate and it took a handball goal to win it. Rodgers :haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I'd say it was instinct rather than deliberate, given it was a yard and a millisecond away.

But either way; play to the whistle, if it doesn't come then it's the ref's problem. And even if it was deliberate, then he did what every footballer would do. And if they say they wouldn't, then they're liars as well.

[Cripps_orig]

That handball was disgusting. You have to love Suarez.

Mansfield couldn't sell out a home game v Liverpool or has watching Liverpool just not that attractive anymore?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

It was a sell out :blink:

[Cripps_orig]

SIB, translate Carraghers interview

[Cripps_orig]

It was a sell out :blink:

They showed empty seats :unsure:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

They showed empty seats :unsure:
Segregation between the home and away fans.

Like at every game.

Actually I think I read they increased their usable capacity specifically for the game.

And Carragher said it was boss.

[GP]

Segregation between the home and away fans.

Like at every game.

Actually I think I read they increased their usable capacity specifically for the game.

And Carragher said it was boss.

Apparently Mansfield left 96 seats empty as a mark of respect.

[Ollie the Optimist]

Apparently Mansfield left 96 seats empty as a mark of respect.

and liverpool fans sing "you're support is fucking shit at them"


stay classy liverpool

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Apparently Mansfield left 96 seats empty as a mark of respect.

Yeah, they put the names on 96 of the segregated seats, nice touch.

Also, what's the source for saying it was Liverpool fans singing it? Apart from twitter. It's quite common for lower league clubs, primarily in the FA Cup, to sing it toward bigger clubs

[Marc Overmars]

I think Suarez was expecting the goal to be ruled out after the rather lethargic boot into the net. No way the goal should have been allowed to stand but that's the officials problem.

Suarez. :bow:

Slimy fuck.

[Ollie the Optimist]

i see espn have released a statement about john champion's line "its the work of a cheat" about suarez goal.


“We take our responsibility to deliver the highest standards of coverage to our viewers. ESPN’s editorial policy is for commentators to be unbiased and honest, to call things as they see them. Inevitably this can involve treading a fine line on occasion, especially in the heat of the moment. Comments during the Mansfield v Liverpool match caused offence where none was intended and we have spoken to our commentator about this incident.”

why was there any need for this?


also suarez doesnt help himself, it might be the referees job to spot the handball, but he knew he handled it and so did the thousand fans behind hte goal, so kissing his hand isnt hte most sensible thing to do. (i know he does it for his wife and child) but surely he has to think?

[Cripps_orig]

Nothing wrong with what Suarez did. He thought it would be ruled out and wouldn't have complained hence the lack of celebration. The commentator was a dick for saying what he did

[Letters]

Nothing wrong with what Suarez did.
Course there is.

[Ollie the Optimist]

Nothing wrong with what Suarez did. He thought it would be ruled out and wouldn't have complained hence the lack of celebration. The commentator was a dick for saying what he did

do it once, and then its fair to say the commentator was out of order. however its not suarez's first offence is it? the handball and celebration against ghana, the countless dives etc. he has earnt a reputation for being a cheat and its no ones fault but his. so if he then scores a handball goal, given his other offences, its not that unreasonable to suggest he is a cheat.

[Ollie the Optimist]

http://www.empireofthekop.com/anfield/2013/01/07/espn-statement-re-jon-champions-comments/comment-page-1/

read the comments section. some brilliant ones in there

[Letters]

The attitude that there's nothing wrong with players cheating is one of the things wrong with football these days. The Olympics were so uplifting and inspiring because of the sportsmanship shown by the vast majority of athletes. They were all trying to be the best but mostly in a fair way. That's what sport should be about, not who can cheat best and get away with it, not who has the most money to throw around.

[Cripps_orig]

He got punished for what he did against Ghana and the celebration was for his country winning. All of us would have done that. He's been widely criticised for his diving, more so than other players who do it much more often.

I'd give him the benefit of the doubt for the handball yesterday. Yes it was handball and I doubt he would've complained had the free kick been given. He clearly expected it to be given judging from his reaction. Not his fault it wasn't.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Would it surprise anyone if I were to defend Suarez?

No? Good, moving on...

I agree with Cripps.... but only until he leaves us. Then he's a cheating ****.

[Marc Overmars]

Suarez is the biggest must get in the league.

[Letters]

Would it surprise anyone if I were to defend Suarez?
You're smarter than the average bear so yeah, a little bit.
They all do it of course, but they are all a load of cheating, spoilt ***** which is why I find it much harder to care as much about football and footballers as I used to. That and growing up.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

You're smarter than the average bear so yeah, a little bit.
They all do it of course, but they are all a load of cheating, spoilt ***** which is why I find it much harder to care as much about football and footballers as I used to. That and growing up.
To be fair I don't defend Liverpool players nearly as much as I could... I usually just roll over and agree.

To be honest I think it was more instinct than a conscious, deliberate attempt to control it; given the fact he was a yard away and it happened in a split second. It shouldn't have been given, but you play to the whistle. If that whistle doesn't come then it's the ref's problem, the players are there to play not enforce the rules. Mansfield players and manager have said as much, were the shoe on the other foot they'd probably have done the same.

A defender wouldn't own up should they handle it on the line, it's no different for a striker. And there was no moral outrage when Crouch and Ba did it, not to mention the times and English player dives or cheats, then it's fair game. I'd have preferred him not to do it, or for it to have been disallowed, but some people paint him out to be between Hitler and Pol Pot. There are far worse things you can do on a football pitch than a handball... give it a few weeks and we'll probably see him prove it. It'll be Evra v Suarez III on Sunday.... :rolleyes:

And of course they're all cheating, slimy, conniving little shits. But they always were. I don't enjoy football as much as I used to.... but that's probably down to us being shit for the last 3 years... and as I say, the second he leaves us I'll no doubt hate him more than anyone else.

[GP]

The outrage is a bit silly, we see far worse every week (by Gerrard lolz)

I'm sure it all stems from the world cup and him cheating ALL OF AFRICA.

[Boss]

Suarez :bow: :bow:

And that act in the WC was hardly cheating.

A 'typical' Scholes challenge.

5 years late and booked.

[Marc Overmars]

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Giggs definitely banked in a free kick voucher then.

[Globalgunner]

I have no doubt Phil Dowd gets a huge rise everytime he gives United a penalty. The chap needs to find something else to make his days worthwhile. I`m sure Rooneys miss was akin to premature ejaculation. Such a downer

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 FT. Typical Man Utd performance by the sounds of it.

FA Cup to win back its magic
End-of-term final returns

Latest odds from Coral's Tim Reynolds

NOT surprisingly the top three in the Premier League dominate this season’s FA Cup betting.
We make Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea the 5-1 co-favourites to lift the trophy.
Tottenham are 8-1 to lift the FA Cup with Arsenal and Tottenham both available at 9-1.
Click here for Coral's latest odds
THE FA Cup final is returning to its traditional spot as the season-closing showpiece.
And the climax to the world’s oldest and premier cup competition will also once again have its own weekend.
Cup final day has lost its magic with top-flight games being staged on the same Saturday, as well as the following day.
Last year Arsenal drew 3-3 with Norwich before the Chelsea-Liverpool final, which kicked off at 5.15pm to please ITV.
There were seven more Premier League fixtures the following day and the season finished the Sunday after.
Manchester City’s 2011 FA Cup final win over Stoke was overshadowed by rivals United sealing the Championship hours earlier.
But the Premier League have confirmed in a timetable issued to clubs — and seen by SunSport — that for the next three seasons the regular league season will finish BEFORE the cup final.
The 2013/2014 season will kick off on Saturday, August 17, and finish on Sunday, May 11, with the FA Cup final on Saturday, May 17.

i know its the sun, but if it is right ( :lol: ) finally common sense has prevailed. the cup deserves its own weekend. it makes it special

[Marc Overmars]

Once upon a time cup final day was little bit special, even if Arsenal weren't playing I'd make a point of watching the game and sometimes even the build up. I don't think that level of interest will ever be as high again.

Pretty much. Throughout the 90s, I watched them all and then early noughties, I had no choice as we were in all of them. Last non Arsenal cup final I watched was 1999 :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Giggs.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nani. :lol:

Utter shite.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Blatant handball again. Not given this time for Man Utd. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ruiz goes for the complicated pass rather than the simple one on the overlap.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Very close from Riether.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fulham could've had a pelanty from Smalling bundling everyone over, half time instead.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Baird off, Karagounis on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Man Utd, Wazza.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-1. Hernandez with his second, Hughes pulling one back.

[Maestro]

Hate to admit it but I do like me some little pea

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He's a very good finisher, which is is really rather annoying.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

FA Cup highlights are on ITV1 in a minute.

[Cripps_orig]

Chances of the stoke v city game being first and with extended highlights?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Unlikely. It was a shocker.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norwich vs Luton on first. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How the hell didn't Norwich score there? :blink:

[Cripps_orig]

We lost to a side a non league team can beat.

We've hit a new low

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lawless. :lol:

Awlsome name.

[Cripps_orig]

2nd half already :lol:

Shit game to put first.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rendell. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Luton.

Norwich. :haha:

They need us to perk them up again.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Unlikely. It was a shocker.

No way!

[Cripps_orig]

Should have had a penalty.

Luton want Man Utd or us next. Typical footballers. Just in it for the money

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Clarke Carlisle is little bit boring.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21217744

Monty. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Clarke Carlisle is little bit boring.

You should see what he can do with 9 random letters though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No way!

I know!

The game was as bad as Whelan's tackle.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

QPR and MK Dons on now.

DJ Campbell. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Green. :haha:

Not his fault but funny seeing him get tangled up in the net.

We don't even get to see a replay of the first goal?

[Cripps_orig]

No replay of the first goal? Wtf

Itv are awlful

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Horrible defending from Anton Ferdinand.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

You should see what he can do with 9 random letters though.
Wearisome?

Soporific?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ITV showed a replay of Traore's saved shot but not the first two goals.

:wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-4.

'Arry. :haha:

Pathetic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

'Arry has been chasing all over Europe.

:faint:

[Cripps_orig]

Harry blaming everyone but himself

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We're up next.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Szhanany.

[GP]

I had no idea Kusczak played for us.

[Cripps_orig]

Did the commentator just call Sir Ches Kusczak?

[Cripps_orig]

Brilliant finish

[Cripps_orig]

Terrible keeping for their goal.

Kusczak is awful.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'll go back to check, I think you guys are right.

Drury. :haha:

All these Poles look the same.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bif Sexy. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo. :bow:

[GP]

High praise for Bif, and quite right too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Millwall vs Villa now. Briefly by the looks of it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh dear Villa.

[GP]

Villa :lol:

http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/33910455.jpg

[GP]

What is he doing? :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ROOONEYYY. No matter what he does.

[GP]

ROOONEYYY. No matter what he does.

He misses about 17 chances for every goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hernandez's second was a complete fluke. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He misses about 17 chances for every goal.

We're the only team with strikers that miss chances!

[GP]

We're the only team with strikers that miss chances!

Giroud :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Scrotes vs Citeh on now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Horrific tackle from Whelan.

Not that kind of lad.

[GP]

Pulis is an 'orrible cunt

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match round-ups now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pienaar. :haha:

What a fluke.

Good finish from Sordell. Heitinga gave it a good old belt.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Audel never touched Jordi Gomez! Apart from mowing him down.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Harsh on Aldershot, Jutkiewicz pubbing one in off the post.

Jutkiewicz is a former Plymouth legend, incidentally.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

1-0 Brentford :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And 1-0 HT.

Agent Rafa. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Oh this would just be priceless. :lol:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

There's a point where the Old Guard and the players have to take some responsibility.

But I guess that point is a long, long way off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marin hauled off, Mata on.

Brentford. :rose:

[Dennis Bendtner]

It's 1-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oscar with the goal.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Pelanty Brentford!

Turnball is properly shit.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

2-1!

Forrester!

[Maestro]

come on you bees

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Brentford!

Chelsea. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Big Man and Cahill weren't exactly alert to the danger.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Turnbull :haha:

Random backups from Middlesbrough :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Oh dear. :lol:
