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.

    • First NVIDIA-powered Windows laptops reportedly debut next week

      I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍

      Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • Until Dawn 2 revealed featuring new cast, new story, and new developer

      All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
