Liverpool v Manchester United - Official Match Thread 23rd September 2012

[FoxForceFive]

That was a very harsh red card.

Fuck fuck fuck.

 

[doctor_mac]

Bad decision, but stupid challenge too.

 

[Fallon]

Unfuckingreal, he's give UTD every soft piece of shit challenge and didn't even card Evra, and now that? Halsey you WANKER!

 

[LeTallecWiz]

terrible tackle by shelvey ... probably a red, but not a 'proper' vicious two footed tackle.

i wonder if this will turn the game around ...

 

[Silver Sean]

Not a stupid challenge. Not even a yellow. Football is fucking pathetic now.

 

[OLD_Lewy]

well fuck

 

[Dirkus_Circus]

Jonjo you fucking idiot. He might be even dumber than he looks and that is saying something.

 

[gene hughes]

That was harsh

 

[Hansern]

Exactly what Luiz got booked for yesterday.

Fuck!

 

[Wizardry]

It wasn't that bad, IMO. Maybe it looked reckless but played the ball and caught him with the other leg.

 

[Modo]

Definite red card.

 

[LadyRed]

He knew he was gonna get sent from from his reaction straight after the foul. Still pretty harsh though ref could have easily given a yellow

 

[Fallon]

terrible tackle by shelvey ... probably a red, but not a 'proper' vicious two footed tackle.

Edit, didn't read it properly. Wasn't a red.

 

[ibromurph]

Evans went in with 2 fucking feet and studs showing!!!!

 

[Dirkus_Circus]

Yes it was a borderline red but the point is Jonjo needs to quit with the late, horror tackles. He makes about one of those per game.

 

[LadyRed]

I cannot believe we havent capitalised on this first half performance

 

[ibromurph]

If Shelvey stayed down, the red would have gone the other way. This is bullshit.

 

[OLD_Lewy]

that's what you get with jonjo, he's been fantastic all game but he can't tackle, and he's not afraid to unfortunately

 

[Modo]

Shelvey didnt even need to make that tackle.

 

[OLD_Lewy]

haha was jonjo having a go at ferguson?

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Was it hell viscious, he's lunged without thinking but he's only ever had eyes for the ball. Yellow, cos it was daft, and game on it should have been.

I understand the red ... I think it was yellow but it's over now. Shelvey made it easy for the ref, and has given the Mancs an opportunity.

 

[Judge Jules]

Either both should have gone or neither should have gone. I wonder how much Ferguson's pre-match guff about penalties etc.had to do with it.

 

[Gary25]

Clear Red. Stupid, stupid cunt Shelvey, you've really let us down.

Could kinda understand a challenge like that if we're losing and looking out of it but we've dominated them and that thick cunt goes and ruins it for everyone.

 

[LadyRed]

If Shelvey stayed down, the red would have gone the other way. This is bullshit.

I actually agree that Shelvey's reaction didn't help him, he had the look of a defeated man on his face as soon as he got up, the donut

 

[Judge Jules]

Appaz there are tweets going round showing that Shelvey did not have both feet off the ground whereas Evans clearly did.

 

[Judge Jules]

He wasn't at the front of the queue when the brains were handed out, thass fo' sho'.

 

[Hansern]

Its not a clear red. Halsey dont give yellow cards for pretty strong challenges, and when Shelvey goes in hard with studs showing Evans does the same. Both off or just yellow.

Halsey has been poor

 

[LarryHagman]

There was no need to make the tackle. Can't really blame Halsey, looked bad at full tilt.

At least half time will give Borini's barber the chance to finish the other half of his haircut.

 

[aquaman4]

Clear Red. Stupid, stupid cunt Shelvey, you've really let us down.

he got the ball a 50--50 ball he had every right to go for it.

 

[ibromurph]

I'm sorry but the red should clearly have gone the other way. One man dives in with one foot, studs pointing to the ground. The other dives in 2 footed and studs up.

And the Liverpool player gets sent off.
