Agreed, they can kill each other on the pitch but that rubbish needed to stop! LFC fan…

Well said Martin

He seems to have regressed this year back to the waste of space he was 2 or 3 years back, watch it he’ll make me eat my words and smash in the winner now!!

I hope neither of ye are from Mayo and Donegal coz that would mean all out war on yer gaff!!!!

Such poor losers really !!!! Was it the refs fault that Johnson challenged from behind??? Or that da silva wasn’t pick up in the box???? . Utd where big enough to say that they were very lucky today . The “it’s never you fault chant will always be sung and for the right reasons this time .

Accidental red thumb there Eimear! Yeah it was a lovely tribute and fair play to players on both teams for respecting it! Pity about some fans!

What fans, there was no booing or anti Hillsborough chanting!

@ Joseph pretty damning http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_uLFvJwfrc&sns=em

Wooooooohooooooo!!

*the stats

Bottom three stupid comment.To all the blind united fans shelvey gets to the ball first.

Peter, shelvey didn’t touch the ball Evans did, and even if he had the slightest knick on it he went over the top and his studs hit Evans in the thigh, still a red card

Easy to come back and win when you have twelve men and the opposition have ten.

Clarence

Stop being Bitter

United fan?

Yep but I can appreciate Liverpool players and he does have some ability, I just hate his attitude and demeanour, in stark contrast to Carragher and even Gerrard

I had suspected there was more than a hint of bias in your post!

Haha of course I’m biased but you can’t obviously think that Ferdinand did a Fashanu on him like the tried to make out.

Joseph when you have a ref who was clearly biased I think Suarez was making sure the ref knew that he was being fouled!

Biased ref!! Liverpool deserved better but I don’t think Halsey got much very wrong. Plus the ref blew up straight off, rolling around with his hands on his head looking like he wanted to cry was only to achieve one thing.

Why would you think he got anything wrong, as a United fan you get used to it I guess! Sorry if you feel this is just paranoia but it seemed so openly obvious today!

Sorry Ted but are you a Liverpool fan because your bias in the opposite direction seems obvious too. Contentious decisions, shelvey, over the top caught with studs, van Persie, studs on floor caught with thigh on follow through. That is all.

These childish posts about bias are ridiculous. Take off the tinfoil hats. The referee was not biased. A contentious decision going one way or another is not bias. Concensus seems to indicate that he made a decent decision on the red card, but in England such challenges often get a yellow card. A tight decision? Yes. Biased? Obviously not.

If he were biased the game would not have gone into nearly the 98th minute (thus giving Liverpool additional time to equalize).

Is it that difficult to fathom somebody giving an opinion based on what they see in front of them? Not every opinion is based on who somebody supports. The only bias I’m seeing is in your post.

Giving an opinion that is obviously biased nearly all tv pundits have said it was 50-50 yet on this it was a definit red card that sounds like bias to me

How is saying it should be a red necessarily indicative of bias? It just shows that he thinks it should be a red. They agreed at half time on Sky whilst adding that Evans did jump in as well.

Somebody having an opinion one way or another is not a sign of bias. If every single opinion was in favour of United, that would obviously be different. Use a bit of reason and common sense.

A bit of reason and common sense would mean that ya dont just come straight saying definite red it wasn’t even a red the two should have been booked nothing more on the 83rd minute van Persie jumped in worse than shelvey and Evans and nothing doneand yes I am a Liverpool fan YNWA another decision by the ref that has robbed Liverpool a win

You’ll never walk alone and seemingly won’t use full stops either. If he were biased it would be obvious throughout. He is not, so it was not.

Take off the John Lennon rose tinted glasses and talk less nonsense about him being biased over one opinion about a single incident.

There’s little point debating the actual points with you as you’ll likely accuse me of bias if I disagree with you. That being said, I’ll just say I disagree with a lot of what you have said.

Gaius, great comment on an article about Liverpool and Manchester United. You do not know your codes, laddie

That’s our first at Anfield since 1999 and only second ever there!!! Also in the last 5 years at both grounds there have been 4 united players sent off and 3 Liverpool, your bias claim looks a bit shallow now hey?

Sorry that should have said third not second, my mistake.

well john what do you make of Josephs comment?

Show me a controversial call that went against united Joseph. You won’t find one

You conveniently only mention penalties given at anfield by the way ;)

I think the only controversial call was Suarez for the penalty and it was only obvious there was slight contact on replay and in ordinary speed his swan dive made the ref decide against it.

Agger was dragged to the ground in the first half too and you don’t think the red card was controversial??
You win Joseph, I stand corrected….

No, his foot was over the ball and he caught Evans in the thigh with his studs. I agree Evans wasn’t fully in control but he got there first and swept the ball away, it was a challenge that whoever got there second was in trouble and that was Shelvey. The Agger incident was so important that I have no recollection of it!!

Evans was the one who went in with both feet off the ground, studs showing. Suarez should have been given a penalty. If Shelvey’s tackle was a red, so was van Persie’s. United even got a throw in that should have been Liverpool’s at the end. Either someone is getting handed an envelope somewhere, or United are just incredibly luck when it comes to dodgy decisions.

Haha val you are so desperate you are now resorting to throw ins!! I think this is where I exit this debate with three points in hand.

You didn’t win any debate Joseph and your team won with ALOT of good fortune and one hell of an assist from the ref for the second time against Liverpool in the last 18 months.
Always class from man corp fans

No resorting about it! The ref was so biased in United favour he was even giving them throwins! It was a disgrace what went on at Anfield today. In saying that, Liverpool only have themselves to blame. United should have been out of the game by half time.

Summary- Arsenal have been awarded more penalties than any other Premier League club in 3 of the last 8 seasons. City have been awarded more in 2 out of 8 seasons. United and Chelsea have been awarded more in 1 of the 8 seasons.- Arsenal and City have conceded more penalties than any other Premier League club in 1 of the last 8 seasons.- Arsenal have had the most penalties awarded for and against them in the last 8 seasons.- Chelsea have had the fewest penalties awarded against them in the last 8 seasons.- Over 8 seasons, there is a difference of 11 penalties awarded for between Arsenal and United, or 1.4 a season. There is a difference of 17 penalties awarded against between Arsenal and Chelsea, or 2.1 a season. Essentially, the difference is negligible so any argument suggesting the refs give preferential treatment to one club is pretty soft.Disclaimer- This table is just a comparison of these five clubs. The clubs which had the most penalties for and against have been included to give some perspective.- How many penalties each club is awarded doesn?t?prove?anything as it is the quality of the decisions that would determine any preferential treatment.- Attacking/dominating teams are going to spend more time in their opponent?s box than less successful teams. They are also less likely to have the opposition in their own box. This can have bearing on the opportunity for a penalty to be awarded for or against.

Stats don’t prove anything johnny.
United beat Liverpool fair and square at old Trafford last march. The previous year in the fa cup at old trafford the ref was a joke and gave man corp a penalty in the first minute and then sent off Gerard just as Liverpool were getting back into it. Today four Liverpool players went down in Uniteds box no penalties, one united player went down in Liverpools box penalty straight away.
It’s not pool fans that are in denial, it’s united fans who think the game isn’t corrupt.
Controversy surrounded your last penalty last week too. Nice dive by welbeck, ref points to the spot, shock horror. You’ll knock Suarez for theatrics though even though he never seems to get anything but bookings when he goes down, even when he’s fouled!!

Suarez is an absolute joke rolling around every week and crying to refs no wonder he gets nothing dont blame others for your teams decline.Maybe blame no striker to get yous goals and bad buys like henderson!

Welbeck or Hernandez

For being tripped?? Wouldn’t surprise me with the ref on form like this, Fergie will be impressed by what he saw from him today, Webb under pressure to raise his game!

There was a slight touch I agree on replay but the swan dive hardly helped him. Tell me, what did the referee get massively wrong?

You’ve mentioned one of them above! Penalty to Valencia was tragically soft, red card was for a 50:50 tackle with both players off the ground but one rolled around a bit! Only them three in fairness to him but that’s the entire story of the match!

Van persies studs were on the ground and didn’t catch the player, foul and yellow was right, you’re obvious sbd desperate over reaction marks you our as a Liverpool fan.

Gavin they both could have been sent off for that , the difference was his studs were showing and he caught him

Your instep is the inside of your foot, that you side foot with, he swept the ball away with this part of his foot, look at it again, and it shows how strong your arguments are when you resort to name calling and insults, a truly classy individual

Also it wasn’t thousands it was a few idiots, quiet enough that sky had to subtitle it, still they are cretins that should be caught and banned, look at previous stories I have wholeheartedly condemned it from all fans of all clubs.

What are you on about. The majority were singing it. You must be so proud

Proud? Give me a break, look back at every comment I’ve made on articles about chants this past week, I don’t condone any hateful chanting and believe anyone caught should be given a life ban. I only caught it briefly on sky news whilst channel hoping and I believed that as sky were subtitling that it could not be the majority, being that it wouldn’t be needed for 2,500, if it is more then I am furious at every single one of them for dragging my clubs name through the mud, especially after how dignified it has been through this week and game. Also are you going to be as quick to condem the Liverpool fans who broke out onto the pitch and did airplane signs in front of the away end beginning the unsavoury behaviour.

I did in another post. They should get a lifetime ban but don’t use that as a means to justify that singing. Idiots is all they were

Comment duplicated! Feck ya as I’m a Mayo man!!!! Haha

Next Saturday at the earliest and I’d take controlling the game first before we think about goals

Those over-paid & spoilt idiots in the EPL aren’t fit to lace the real footballers foots. Sad that so many waste their money on them instead of appreciating how lucky we are in this country to have the great sports of Gaelic Football & Hurling.

Both of the above comments are brainless, childish nonsense.

GAA fans like to talk the talk, but then don’t show up to support their local parish teams or county, unless it’s a big day in da big shmoke

At least us GAA fans can actually go and see our teams play weekly, and support our local teams unlike alot of united fans who couldn’t point out Manchester on a map, alot more to supporting a team than watching them on sky and buying the latest kit :)

GAA is real football.

Except it’s mostly in their hands, hmm

Back at you, A player leaves the ground with both feet and doesn’t get to the ball first and could have broken the other players leg but comes out of it worst so he gets to stay on the pitch.
Muppet

Made no contact with the other player and plays the ball with his instep not his studs, shocking behaviour that is!?!

And your the looser that comes on here and try’s to mock us all.
FOOL

You know you can support both a local and another team right?

If your so bored by this thread why do u still read it.
Bog off to gaa country if zzzzzzzzzz is all u have to say
