tut-tut, ref just needed an excuse to give liverpool a goal. shame on gerrard and the ref. shame shame shame...

Location: Manchester, UK :/

TWO BLATANT HANDBALLS weren't called for athletico...

It depends on your philosophy on football.

I take it you are talking about the Carragher and Mascherano incidents. In which case, I believe it can be excused when a player slides and collides with the ball, and in Carra's case the ball richocheted off his knee onto his arm (and hence ball to hand). Similarly, are players expected to slide to block a ball with their arm behind their back risking injury?

Anyway, based on my opinion on football the last minute penalty was not a penalty. But, it is undeniable that if the same thing happened outside of the box, it would have been a freekick (like it was with N'Gog a few minutes earlier), so by that analogy it should have been a penalty.

I really wanted to come on here and say how unfair UEFA refs are to the EPL teams.. almost like they have a problem with us being so good... just look at Deco red card or Arsenal's game in Kyiv or Gooners last game and Diaby's card... or many other games where Man U or Arsenal or any of the British teams are involved..

but then I saw the Liverpool game last night.. :blink:

and I realised.. they are just bad..

Gerrard had his reservations but denied the penalty was the result of any theatrics on his part. "I'm not sure it was a penalty. I got there first and I think if that is outside the area you get a free-kick," the Liverpool captain said. "If it happened at the other end we would be livid. That's football. It's a point and we move on."

Says it all..

Quite good actually.

Hardly "Liverfail" considering we are most successful English football team of all time.

Now **** off back to your hole you cretin of the Earth.

Nice modern EPL trophy there bud ;)... oh wait LOL.

Boy are the pedestals high for liverpool fans... I wouldn't call them the most successful English team. That would have to go to Man Utd.

    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.

      That's a good number until the game you want to play is not in that list.

      For sure, humanity us highly unlikely to survive the helium flash. Even if we have colonized moons in the outer planets by then, that is such a monumental change in heat output, coupled with the destruction of Earth, it's unlikely we could be fully prepared for changes of that scale.
