Liverpool 1 - 1 Newcastle United - 04/11/12 - post-match reaction from page 53


Recommended Posts

Cisse was turbo-shit out wide. If we're going to play him, it has to be down the middle, with support.

 

Sammy made another good impression. We don't have any better alternatives, so regardless of his inexperience, he should start.

 

We should have had a penalty when Sammy was brought down, but we can't complain about the sending-off. Colo couldn't handle Suarez all game and frustration got the better of him.

 

Pleased with the point though.

It looked to me like the defender had caught him first and he lost his balance.

I watched it without sound.

 

It helped.

 

Unless it's non-english commentary, I watch all our games like this.

Despite all their fans' moaning, Liverpool , along with Man Utd, are still the club with the most sympathisers in the media.

I still remember John Murray practically praying for Liverpool to score during last year's FA Cup final, and his audible depression at the end.

Skrtel definitely got a nick on the ball too. Sammy did well a couple of times to get into that area but two or three times he should have delivered it instead of trying to beat the man again.

 

Contact with the ball doesn't mean it wasn't a foul.

I never said it did but it was clearly a perfectly fair challenge.

That's the crucial issue. He just nicked the ball but caught Sammy on the follow through. That's what caused Sammy to lose balance and tread on the ball. Otherwise he'd have kept possession, and usually refs call that a foul.

 

Either way, we can't blame Sammy.

Exactly how I saw it.  Would have been a foul anywhere else on the pitch.

Once Sammy realises he's playing in the Premier League and not the school yard he's going to be a very good player.

Has it always been 3 game ban for red cards?  I thought it used to be 1 and then 3 if it's violent conduct like smacking someone in the face?

 

3 premier league games is a big deal for a mistimed tackle. Particularly in Tiote's case as he was a split second from getting the ball and in Coloccini's he didn't actually touch Suarez despite the alleged "intent". Just feel 3 games in harsh.

Aye, 3 for violent conduct (smacking someone) and serious foul play (bad tackle), 1 for preventing a goalscoring opportunity.
