Hogwash, Balderdash & untrue!

Sorry Willo you are very wrong in your assumption on this. Due to equal complaints by BOTH clubs about the appointment of MC, the governing body erred on the side of caution & changed the appointment.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Well think again.

Not making any further comment and giving credence to some of the hogwash.This is my final post on this thread.

TWADDLE !!!!!!!!!!

Thought I'd bump this.

I'll not deny that our defending was well below standard and dare I say almost on a par with Sunderland at times!

I'll not deny that Liverpool are a very slick outfit going forward and will certainly be there or thereabouts come the prizegiving at the end of the season.

However despite our deficiencies at 60 minutes we were only a goal adrift and were more than a match for them. We had increased the tempo and as Klopp indicated post match, his side had put so much into their 1st half pressing that they were not able to compete at the same level 2nd half.

So, cue Mr Andre Marriner and a 5 minute spell either side of the hour mark that frustrated our dominance, interrupted momentum and gave respite to Liverpool when they needed it most. At the time I had to walk out onto the concourse for a minute or so to get away from the AM show. This morning I have watched that spell back on BT to see if maybe I was over-emotionally caught up in it all. My opinion has not changed. I counted a string of eight decisions in a row where he distinctly favoured the scousers. This did not include the earlier double penalty appeals but did include the later one on Zaha where there was definite contact - the sole justification for his award of the penalty against us in the fixture last year.

There has been criticism of Cabaye for dissent towards referees and he picked up another one yesterday during that spell - can you really wonder why. Marriner was so poor during that period that a conspiracy theorist might conclude (like Clattenburg before him), he makes his employers' requirements far too obvious.

Before you criticise someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Of course not - we are the victims of a sinister plot by the Referees Association. As they are totally incompetent they occasionally accidentally award us a penalty which so confuses our players that they always miss them.

Spot on !!!
