The OFFICIAL Liverpool Supporters thread

[AFS]

Liverpool fans can officially never, ever complain about Man Utd or any other club getting soft decisions at home after that shocker. Ridiculous!

[J70]

What happened lads? I'm still at work? A Gerrard dive...?

[Stalin]

Did you miss the blatant one we didn't get?

[Minder]

The ref gave it so it must have been a penalty

[imtommygunn]

That was a joke.

Then your man getting booked for kicking the ball over the bar from the centre.

And they say English players never dive

[nifan]

Very lucky in the end.

However, it would have been some dive from gerrard since he was well up in the air when the contact was made.
You can argue if it was a penalty but hardly a dive.

[pintsofguinness]

Did he dive J70? 
He ran across the box, jumped into some boy and behaved like he was shot as he was going through mid air and hit the deck.
To be fair it was quite spectacular.

Clear as penalty as you will see, definate foul, correct decision, brilliantly seen linesman

well said that man

[AFS]

What happened lads? I'm still at work? A Gerrard dive...?

Gerrard did a Graham Canty into an Atletico defender.

[The Real Laoislad]

I'm not too worried..It will end 1-1 or 2-1 to Liverpool

Told ye so!!

God though we were brutal tonight..WTF was Djimi Traore Ngog going to do that Keane couldn't?
Awful decision to bring off Keane..
Aurelio was terrible and as for Arbeola   .
Agger could have had a hatrick..
And it was never a penalty,not in a million years,if anything it was a free out,but then we should have had one earlier in the match.Stevie G showed his brass balls again though my slotting home the peno,what a player he is even after a dodgy night by his standards

[GalwayBayBoy]

Last one was never a penalty but we should have had one earlier anyway.

Not sure what the RTE boys are on? The Masch and Carra ones were never penalties IMO. They were sliding in for tackles and the ball was kicked off them. They had no control over where the ball hit them.

Ref was terrible though.

[ExiledGael]

Right any sane person knows Ronaldo dives all over the place, but never let it be said again that Gerard is some big hard player who is above all that. They are all just the same, that was ridiculous. Fell like a dying swan.
It was obvious from the collision in the air both players would fall but it was Gerard's theatrics, arms waving and appeal that won the decision.

[kumquat]

cheat

[GalwayBayBoy]

Wasn't a pen but neither was it a dive ffs. The two of them collided in mid-air. Was he supposed to levitate or something?
