I think it was a foul, but not a penalty since he hit his heel outside the box. A United fan saying a call for liverpool was a good one should be convincing enough.

Cant really blame the ref, it is a tight call. What a player Torres is though. He has everything.

[/ QUOTE ]Clealry a trip, also clearly outside the box, can't blame the ref, but the linesman should have been helping out there.

No surprise to see a "Liverpool" interpretation of the rules after the match from Crouch though. "yes it was borderline, but it was a clear goalscoring opportunity, so fair enough"

"yes it was borderline, but it was a clear goalscoring opportunity, so fair enough"

So now, if it's Liverpool, not only do the fans not have to behave to social standards expected from the rest of the world, but a goalscoring opportunity is a penalty whether inside or outside the box as the rules seem to be different if you're Liverpool. You couldn't make it up.

didn't crouch say "it was boderline but I was obviously gonna bury it"

clearly joking but he must get fed up of this coming up week in week out. Chelsea shouldn't have pen against liverpool now liverpool with one of their own. Justice.

[/ QUOTE ]No, he said it was a clear goalscoring opportunity. And they've already had the law of averages earn them a penalty with Gerrard's latest dive a couple of weeks ago. I think they had another one since as well, can't recall against who.

That's not the issue anyway, it's his farcical justification of getting a penalty for it, he could just have said "we got a bit lucky there", but no, rather than that, let's make up a reason for why this should be a penalty while comnpletely disregarding the rules of the game. Pathetic.

I think a team of small children could probably beat Wigan (and Derby as well) at the moment
