The red card on Sunday still didn't compensate for the penalty Chelsea got last year at anfield.

Then what about the goal that shouldn't have been.

Well we'll take the Cech red card and the penalty then. It would have probably made that night less stressful.

Outspoken Voronin targets Liverpool return as he's too big for Berlin
By WILLIAM STEWART

Ukranian striker Andriy Voronin has revealed he dreams of returning to Liverpool after being farmed out on loan to German side Hertha Berlin.
The outspoken striker, who earlier this year launched an attack on Britain and Liverpool, claims being a big star in Berlin is not enough and he wants to link up with Steven Gerrard again at Anfield.
He told Pro Sport magazine in Russia: 'It's an absolutely different level of football.
'I'm a leader at Hertha and feel their fans love me but I would like to be a leader in a team which is always fighting to win the Premier League, the Champions League and which have such people playing for them as Steven Gerrard who is a symbol of the city like the Beatles.
'I see no sense in staying in Berlin saying to myself: 'OK, everyone loves me here, why do I need to play for Livepool?'   
'I'd really like a new start there. I have a contract with them for two more years. When I joined Liverpool I knew I could play at such a high level and think I proved it. The rotation of the squad by Benitez really enraged me, but he told me from the start about that and I should have been prepared for it.'
Voronin's claims, after several months at Hertha on loan, are in stark contrast to comments he made in April, when he savaged Liverpool and life in Britain.
Back then he condemned the UK as a cultural backwater with poor health care and high crime rate.
Although his 24-year-old wife Yulia was named the worst-dressed soccer WAG after wearing a leopard-print velour tracksuit, he said Britain was far less sophisticated than Germany.

Voronin, who moved to Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen in Germany at the beginning of the season, said: 'Compared with Germany, England is far behind in terms of comfort and culture.
'Five out of the seven houses near us are occupied by footballers.
'Steve Gerrard was burgled recently so a police patrol car comes into our compound fairly often. We hear police sirens all the time. Leverkusen, by contrast, was so much quieter.'
He continued: 'The medical services here are poor. When I was in Germany, there were lots of good clinics and doctors.
'It is nothing like that here - when our child had a skin allergy we waited hours for the doctor to see him. When we finally got to see a doctor, he said he didn't know how to treat children and told us to try rubbing in this ointment.
'That was it. I was stunned. As a result my wife had to go back to Odessa with him and took a full set of tests there.'
He added: 'English isn't the main problem. The main thing is to learn to understand the local players like Gerrard and Carragher.
'They speak with some peculiar local accent and sometimes I have absolutely no clue what the guys are saying. Many foreign players have the same problem.'

is he serious?

gerard didn't even get a card, and lampard gets send off after getting fouled be alonso. Mike Riley should quit

Gerrard was booked. Granted he was lucky not to pick up another yellow. Also Alonso didn't foul Lampard. Alonso went to kick the ball and Lampard tipped it away first but Lampard at the same time had his studs up in air hence Alonso kicked against his studs which as anyone who has played the game will tell you is bloody painful.

As for Fat Frank his red card was only three and a half years too late. He can be thankful he managed to pick up no suspension this time as he should have for his ankle-breaker a few years ago. I have zero sympathy for him.

As stated..... the tackle a few years back was not a red card. Nowhere near it. It was a slighly late tackle that had worse than usual consequences a few years back.

"We still have Babel, Ngog  and Kuyt as well as Torres.

Much as I hate to say it...break out the bubbly Alex

[corn02]

I know nobody will slag off Torres.

But does anyone else think he deserves a slap for that cross-leg celebration. Looked like a cub scout at a camp fire.

Yes, because the referee gets the benefit of slow motion replays in making a decision...

In real time, it looked a bad tackle by Lampard, especially as he dived in with his foot up and Alonso went flying afterwards. The referee gets only one look. People either have to accept that these type of wrong decisions are inevitable or change the game to allow the ref to stop things and get some help from replays.

[Gabriel_Hurl]

The ref was shocking. Gerard's challange on Kalou was a clear second yellow, if not a straight red.

Gerrard didn't get the yellow for diving until after the tackle

The ankle breaker was a slightly mistimed tackle with zero intent. It happens. It was not a red card offence. Of course the ref that day was Riley, and perhaps he saw a chance to redeem himself!! Lampard apologiesd for the tackle at the time, but Alonso turned away the olive branch. He has held a major grudge since

not at all corn02, best celebration i'd seen in a while - and lets face it we were due it 

as lampard has now been let off can some sort of action now not be taken against boswinga for that blatant boot in the back on bennayoun, was there for all to see except the ref and the linesman who was only yards away from it ? video evidence and all that. or should bennayoun just wait for another day ?!  (a la roy on alfe inga!)

The FA have said no action will be taken against Bosingwa
The referee didnt see the incident but the linesman has admitted he did see it & didnt take action
How the fcuk he didnt see fit to alert the referee is beyond me
