Champions League: Semi-finals 20. - 28.4. 2010

aye - i kinda had him a category of young dutch players who on one hand are technically very good and everyone raves about them as they break through, and then on the other hand it goes to their heads a bit, go to a big club and seem to struggle to fit in,are sulky, over-rated, go missing every now and then etc.

Though I did think sneijder was fired up for it last night, and even if he only turned it on for half a dozen games this season for us, it would have been 100% more than aquilani has provided. Anything more than that and it would have been a ****ing great bit of business

Did you not see him at the last Euros? He was fantastic. He's much more than a talented young player (is he even young anymore? surely about 26/27?). He's a real classy footballer.

I'm the opposite...i look at it from the point of view of how would i feel if it was awarded against Liverpool...would i admit it was a penalty, or would i feel cheated.

So, imagine Alves played for Chelsea, and it was Carra in Sneider's position, would you be saying "fair enough, he brought him down, can't argue with that decision" ?

good view point.......I'd be thinking, carra you soft ****, firstly you got skinned by diving in and secondly what a ****ing shocking attempt of a tackle in a vital part of the game that could cost us dearly. I'd call Alves a diving cunt, but would also say fair play, it's a penalty, crucial error by carragher and start praying reina makes the save

safe to say, if y'all can't decide, with the benefit of TV replays, then the referee was right to not award it

Is the correct answer

[Kenneth]

There's a lot of debate here...was it a pen, was it not...this angle shows it wasn't...this one shows contact...safe to say, if y'all can't decide, with the benefit of TV replays, then the referee was right to not award it.

And i like Mourinho, the man has attitude and cajones. Wouldn't advocate him as a future manager of LFC, but if he came, c'est la vie.

But we can decide. It was. The Slovanian is just a bit mental.

And Marsh?

The fact it's even up for debate speaks volumes.

Me, i never saw it so i have no opinion. I can only judge by the views on here.

[Roboklopp]

Aye, I had a semi on for Sneijder back at the last Euros.


That having been said, I also did for Zenden back in the ones in 2000....

And Marsh?

what about me?

all i am saying is that i havent seen the actual contact.

another angle might show it.

i think the diving needs to be got rid of out of the game.

i mean the no contact dive not the making sure the ref makes a decision dive.

i am not sure what to do with that one to be honest.

[lickedlollipop]

real madrid really ****ed this up.

sneijder and robben are great example what a club like RM is can do to you.

That's my point, you've seen it from two angles and can't establish contact...so how can a ref, who gets one real time chance to see it, supposed to be able to give it with that much doubt around?

hence, the ref got it right.

The Youtub clip on the previous page shows the contact, there's no if's or but's. FACT

Because a Ref isn't a bind mentalist

[Kenneth]

39 seconds on the youtube clip. If you can't see contact, you're really trying no to.

[CJ]

it doesnt show contact at all.

its like in the movies you see a punch thrown and a face moving but you never see any contact.

i dont know i would need to see it from the side.

and i wouldnt want to be a ref at all however refs obviously do want to
