Didn't think we'd get anything out of the Arsenal game and we did well for the most part but Arsenal prove they are the best footballing side in the UK for entertainment. Almunia should have saved our goal but like our keeper he has problems with crosses.

Got Chelsea next and serioously not looking forward to it :(

No, best part was Ferguson fuming again! He's hilarious! :laugh:

..or ridiculous rather.

To be fair I think he has a point this time, the referee 's performance indicates that he was a closet Chelsea fan. United where hard done by no doubting it.

2-2 from a rather fortuitous penalty, and applying the pressure, there's life in this one yet :D

Is it your blind hate towards Chelsea or plain amnesia that is behind you forgetting Evans' foul on Drogba inside the box?

Nope, like usual Drogba dived for it. Like I stated before, Drogba spends so much time diving I think you Chelsea fans have forgotten what real injuries, and fouls are. The simple fact is, that 2 seriously poor decisions cost united a point, and I can assure you that as a Liverpool fan, times of me having any sympathy for man united are few and far between, but in this circumstance I feel they where hard done by. Debate it all you want, the goal shouldn't have been allowed to stand and that is a fact. Hell you guys where shouting loudly enough when you felt the ref 'robbed' you against Barcelona, but when that argument is turned on its head you guys simply can't accept it.

Matches aren't "lost" on the decisions on a whole, but the ones that lead to goal(s) and in that sense Man Utd were hard done by that free kick/then foul in box.

However you can't put all the blame on one/two decisions, we didn't finish our chances well.

The reason its slightly harder to take a one goal loss in this case is both teams played very evenly, and that only magnifies the decisions of the referee. If it was much more one sided it's easier to accept a defeat due to your team overall playing much poorly and not deserving anything, but I wouldn't say that was the case seeing as Chelsea have been destroying teams goal wise and Man Utd played without Vidic/Ferdinand. They held off well and gave Chelsea a good game.

It would've been much nicer to see a team finishing with a win without the drama :p

It's a worrying trend though, for me the standard of refereeing in the premier league is poor, and is something that desperately needs to be looked at.

It was a crystal-clear red card for me,and although he was probably faking after the foul that doesn't make it any less than a foul.
Like I stated before, Drogba spends so much time diving
Agreed
I think you Chelsea fans have forgotten what real injuries, and fouls are.
Not really
The simple fact is, that 2 seriously poor decisions cost united a point,
And the penalty I mentioned earlier might have cost us a goal
and I can assure you that as a Liverpool fan, times of me having any sympathy for man united are few and far between, but in this circumstance I feel they where hard done by.
You've already said who you wanted to win,so your opinion on that matter is very biased.
Debate it all you want, the goal shouldn't have been allowed to stand and that is a fact.
I'm not so sure about that either,I didn't see Drogba being offside and it looked like he hauled Wes Brown down,but I think that Brown should have been stronger.
Hell you guys where shouting loudly enough when you felt the ref 'robbed' you against Barcelona, but when that argument is turned on its head you guys simply can't accept it.
You may have a point there but IMHO 3 penalties on a CL quarter final are much more important than a 2 fouls in any league game.

Nope, but it makes Drogba a playacting scumbag

You've already said who you wanted to win,so your opinion on that matter is very biased.

I have opinions on who I want to win most games, I guess by your logic I must be biased against everyone then? Your comments have shown you to be just as biased against Liverpool anyway, so it is just another hypocritical case of pot, kettle, black.

You are bound to say that, but the fact of the matter is that bad refereeing costing a side any form of result is unacceptable regardless of the occasion, and number of screwups, just your attempt to put a pro chelsea spin on something you really have no cogent argument against.

What does that have to do with it being a foul or not?

Yes,but in 2009 we have replays:
Gerrard too injured to dive with his usual flair maybe?

N'Gog dived brilliantly to earn the penalty for Liverpool.

Plenty. It is called unsportsmanlike conduct and it is against the rules of the game

Yes,but in 2009 we have replays:

And that is relative to your hypocritical rant about me being biased, when you are just as biased against Liverpool how?

N'Gog dived brilliantly to earn the penalty for Liverpool.

Yep, that was pretty poor behaviour from N'Gog and the pen shouldn't have been given, no question about that, I just find it funny that Chelsea fans are throwing slurs at Liverpool when they have on their team one of the biggest divers in all forms of football (only one that can even touch Drogba for pathetic diving is Ronaldo). Difference is though I can be objective about it and face the fact that shouldn't have been given, some you win some you lose I guess.

You gotta give the boy some credit,he puts to shame both Ronaldo and Drogba.

Sure is. One incident against a whole career's worth (and then some in Drogba's case) for the 2 you mentioned. Seriously, you are more biased than I am, haven't you realised how hypocritical you sound yet?

Nope, but you post with this 'holier than thou' attitude constantly throwing insults of Bias against me, when you are no better, if not worse yourself.

Seriously, you are just making yourself look silly.

Anyway I don't want to drag this offtopic again, so keep the discussions about the football please, I don't want to add more people to my ignore list alongside gregb0b, I try to keep that as a last resort, but I am starting to lose patience with you, and I am also losing interest in discussing football with you.

I was about to comment on what you said,but then again..

Why don't you discuss football in a Liverpool only forum?

Or even a forum where open Chelsea supporters get their IP banned?

I agree with this quote:

Liverpool FC. A disgusting club supported by disgusting fans and employing disgusting cheating players.

And I'm sure you'd agree with something like this :

Liverpool FCChelsea FC. A disgusting club supported by disgusting fans and employing disgusting cheating players.

So why don't we just agree that we're both biased as **** and wait till your team's next humiliation?

I am done debating with you, it is clearly a waste of my time as you obviously lack the intelligence to do anything apart from sitting there constantly flaming Liverpool fans. I also seriously object to your accusation that I think all Chelsea fans are scum, FYI my own mother supports Chelsea, but then I am not quiet as hate filled as you so I guess I don't really understand your position. Regardless, you are one more flame filled post away from being stuck onto my Ignore list so kindly stop the flaming please.

Edit: The ignore button has been used for the second time in less than 48 hours, time to resume talking about the football :) sorry folks

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      By zikalify · Posted

      Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups by Paul Hill Fears that increasing government control of social media risks regulatory capture by the biggest social media firms were raised again recently. Bluesky’s chief operating officer said in an interview that social media bans for children and tighter regulations for social media firms risk creating a world where there are only a few social media platforms run by companies with the deepest pockets. Regulations on social media firms have been very lax since they appeared for mainstream users in the 2000’s. This gave Meta, Snapchat, and Google time to build up their user bases and get entrenched, with Meta being the most successful. Now that Meta has succeeded, it has been attempting regulatory capture. By pushing for more regulations of social media, Meta hopes to make it more difficult for rivals to challenge it. For its part, it doesn’t need to worry about the cost of regulation because it has a lot of money to spend, whereas startups do not. Speaking to CNBC, Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said: “I support the protection and the safety of youth, the question that we have then is at what cost, because essentially what I’m scared of is in the long term, we’re headed to a world where there’s about three to five platforms, and extreme heavy regulation of those platforms, and basically the whole compliance teams of these platforms are 10 times the size of our entire team. So, basically, we’re living in a world where it’s almost impossible for smaller entrants to come in and build healthier spaces. These platforms have led to a place where the bottom line is the thing that drives what they do... so I understand why governments have to step in and regulate, because the platforms have done nothing right.” She said that while she is not against regulation, there needs to be more channels between the small to mid-sized players and regulators to help protect them. She says that big tech players, on the other hand, “who we know are circumventing regulation,” need to be regulated. Essentially, the Bluesky position is one of nuance, rather than absolutes. While Bluesky’s proposal may preserve competition in the social media space, it still doesn’t address the massive privacy implications these age verification measures introduce, such as handing over sensitive identity documents to access age-gated content.
