Exiled in Texas Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 The referee is going to regret that one, big-time, when he watches the replay. Gerard went looking for contact so he could throw himself down on the ground. {photo shop challenge - someone take pic of gerard holding cup/penant and replace with oscar} Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stephen927 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Was talking to my mate who is a Liverpool fan and he said that they should have had a penalty earlier on in the game, and so the penalty at the end was justice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Was talking to my mate who is a Liverpool fan and he said that they should have had a penalty earlier on in the game, and so the penalty at the end was justice. Typical Liverpool fan's reaction. "I'll ignore what you said and point to some other incident" If I wasn't an Everton fan I'd hate Liverpool anyway, everything about them, their fans, their captain, their manager, gets my blood boiling. Of course, the mass media won't do anything, and will resume pampering unjustified praise on them before long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Even Setanta's wording of their poll. "Does Stephen Gerrard go down too easily?" Why can't they just say, "Does he dive?". They would for Ronaldo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Even Setanta's wording of their poll. "Does Stephen Gerrard go down too easily?" Why can't they just say, "Does he dive?". They would for Ronaldo. I must say, I actually despise Gerrard more than Ronaldo, as Gerrard has the audacity to tell other players not to dive. As for the poll, there's no way they'd use the word dive. Wouldn't want to tarnish the golden boy's reputation now would they? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Fucking prick on Five Live this morning said it wasn't a dive. Utter tripe, so I texted in to say how pathetic they were and that Gerrard is a cheat. Needless to say, it wasn't read out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest quklaani Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Gerrard dives a lot more than Ronaldo. To be fair its pretty rare for Ronaldo to dive these days, but he acts like a spoilt brat a lot and I think people get it confused (take for example the thing with Phil Neville). And certainly the media don't let up, when we got that penalty against Bolton people we're accusing him of conning the ref by um....getting tackled and knocked to the ground and not appealing for a penalty. Gerrard on the other hand would have to do a Gilardino before anyone in the press would even mention it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players with quick turns of pace like Ronaldo, Jonas, or even Oba tend to get fouled more than any other players imo, and it is no surprise that these type players are usually the most prolific divers.

Neil Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Far from being Ronaldo's biggest fan, as I think his attitude stinks at times, but I think these 2 players define the difference between diving and falling over easily. Ronaldo goes to ground easily when being pushed or something, and as said, acts like a spoilt brat, perhaps more dramatic than Gerrard, and thus is reported about more. Gerrard knows exactly how/when hes going to dive, last night was the latest in a long line of pathetic incidents. I just hope that soon, maybe, just maybe, the mass media will have the bottle to expose him as the cheat he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Wallace of the Independent was rightly very critical of the incident in today's report of that match. He was more critical of the referee for giving it though, calling it "atrocious".

Guest optimistic nit Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 its not exactly good for the heart with our injury record. he's our most important player as well (one of them) and every time he gets fouled it looks like he's broken his leg.

ElDiablo Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Celtic 1 - 0 Man Utd. Great goal. Must say i'm wanting Man Yoo to win this . I hate what the old firm for what it stands for Same here actually. But only because Celtic are fucking crap and just defend with 10 men behind the ball at all times in an attempt to spoil the game. Fergie should get Rooney on for Giggs who's been shit so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowen Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Roma 3 points Inter 1 point Juventus 3 points Fiorentina 1 point 9 goals, 8 points total, some good results after all. Chelsea 0 points Manu 1 point Liverpool 1 point Arsenal 1 point 3 goals, 3 points, not so good Can I just be the first to say that that's a fucking ridiculous post.
