Liverpool vs 'Boro {C.O.C}: Match Thread

[tsb]

Handball

[McDermotX]

We've handled from Villa on brilliantly these last couple weeks.

[Muddled]

All this chat about handball and intent is absolute bollocks.

[tanner]

Is Markovic the new Aquilani?

[Venton]

At least Balotelli is making runs and getting in behind them, giving them something to think about.

That should have been a peno.

[Daniel 7]

Oh ffs, I don't have the energy for extra time, let alone those lot playing. What a sack of ****e.

[danperkins]

What a terrible display from us. Sterling & Lallana have been stand out.. rest have been gash.

[Gazzla]

Another 30 minutes of this ****e

All this chat about handball and intent is absolute bollocks.

Except it isn't. The law clearly states the handball has to be deliberate for it to be a foul. There's never any consistency from refs though.

[Gibbo]

Borini for Sterling please Brendan

[Kenneth]

Brendan telling Kolo to kick it further there. #inspiring

[Venton]

Why's Enrique trying these fancy flicks? That back-heel was like a shire-horse trying to rid it's back leg of a horny dog.

Agree about hauling Sterling off. We should have gone out of this cup in normal time, we couldn't even get that bit right

[Tribute]

Markovic has been massively disappointing. Hope Sterling, Lallana and Balotelli don't get crocked or knackered for the weekend...

[Daniel 7]

I miss Daniel Sturridge

Which is my point. How many penalties have we seen where it is ball to hand?

The only penalty I can think of (for us) where it has been deliberate handball is against Barcelona back in 2001.
