Liverpool v Blackburn match thread

[bigfooty]

Bentley comes close, curls one just wide of the post but Pepe had it covered had it been a bit more on target.

this bloody ref is killing us

I think we need an injection of quality from the bench. Time for the Crow to swoop in and get a goal.

Gerrard and Torres link-up, Torres goes down under a tackle from Emerton. Appeals for a penalty, Emerton made no contact on the ball, would have been harsh and not given.

2-0

Torres

game over

[bigfooty]

Kuyt wins a header, Torres gets bundled over, Ref waves play on. Comes to Gerrard who curls a lovely cross in and Torres angles the header beautifully past Friedel. 2-0.

[carlton]

shove that up your arse referee!!

[Resu]

this bloody ref is killing us

At least he`s consistent.
torres as usual.

[bigfooty]

Ref kills us again, Gerrard and Torres break, Gerrard beats his man and goes down but Ref says no pen. Crowd getting a little pissed off.

Torres 30 !!!!!

"You're not fit to referee"

Torres off, Voronin on

[Tatterdemalion]

And now for something completely indifferent...
Andrei Voronin...

The Crow coming on for Torres who gets an ovation.

Nando looks a little disappointed to come off, shakes hands with Rafa though.

[bigfooty]

Moores and Parry in the crowd. Parry has a fairly sensible tie on today.

McCarthy almost gets one back for Blackburn, Xabi is caught on the ball, Benni is in but blasts it into the side-netting.

[bigfooty]

We break and yet again Kuyt's poor control lets it down, Yossi finds him in acres of space but the ball goes about 15 yards ahead of Kuyt from his first touch and the next one is a tackle as it closes up.

Xabi off, Riise on.
