That dodgy free kick put United's defence under pressure but it should have been awarded to the visitors. The Carragher tackle was a digrace as is Phil Dowd.<br /><br />I've never really rated Carrick and the fact that Fletcher and Carrick have been rewarded with new long-term deals should concern all United fans.James Ryddel - Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18341271207454849421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33581513.post-10135350680871852012011-03-07T14:00:11.788+00:002011-03-07T14:00:11.788+00:00There were some poor refereeing decisions but I do...There were some poor refereeing decisions but I don't know that it really cost us the game. Yes Carragher should have been sent off. I also believe Rafael should have been sent off and Nani can also consider himself very lucky that he wasent being stretchered off with a red card for pushing the ref (was listening to radio during first half so I believe he got up, chased ref and pushed him Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383819716333839164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33581513.post-4304398731875193872011-03-06T22:12:08.255+00:002011-03-06T22:12:08.255+00:00Not defending Carraghers tackle as it was a disgra...Not defending Carraghers tackle as it was a disgrace but the only reason Rafael didnt make contact as you say was because Lucas dived out of the way. That too was a leg-breaker and should have been a red. The referees decisions were poor but I thought Liverpool dominated most of the game and were well deserved winners. Even if Carragher had gone, I dont think United had enough about them today toTraderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00507675934528508411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33581513.post-23184163606541952202011-03-06T21:43:01.649+00:002011-03-06T21:43:01.649+00:00This is a typical one eyed article.
Yes Jamie'...This is a typical one eyed article.<br />Yes Jamie's challenge was high,and yes there are officials that would produce a red, but to ignore Rafael's challenge on Lucas because there was no contact is a joke! I believe intent can warrant a red card.<br /><br />I suppose you would prefer a ref that ignores players that use their elbows.<br /><br />On this occasion the best team won.<br />hugsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05662136333315944827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33581513.post-30340225973622781602011-03-06T21:24:15.707+00:002011-03-06T21:24:15.707+00:00I can't agree that the game turned on Dowd'...I can't agree that the game turned on Dowd's decisions. <br /><br />Nobody gets them all right, but the side was going down no matter what. <br /><br />Carragher could have been sent off, and the studs-up challenge on Rafael was missed, but in truth, I thought he did a good job of keeping the lid on an increasingly wild game.<br /><br />Certainly, this was nothing like the Chelsea match, Tom Chandlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12606490006697803189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33581513.post-58690800985075147882011-03-06T20:56:10.651+00:002011-03-06T20:56:10.651+00:00how bias do you want to be, Considering your bring...how bias do you want to be, Considering your bringing up a past game with chelsea why dont you say anything about rooney's elbow nah i thought you wouldn't and as for Carragher's tackle yes it was a red, but... so was rafael's tackle which could also have end'd lucas's career, so instead of crying because Webb and Clattenberg wasn't the ref grow up and admit it could Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07203697521057107538noreply@blogger.com
