Originally posted by Rooney Once a Blue Well there is a pattern.
When Liverpool played Manchester United, United had Vidic sent off.
When Liverpool played Arsenal, Arsenal had Adebayor sent off.
When Liverpool played Chelsea, Chelsea had Lampard sent off.
Liverpool are very lucky against top 4 sides and for some reasons there opponents best players sent off.
Are you preparing some kind of excuse just in case?

I see a pattern developing here, Liverpool have the sun gods on their side, im off to the F.A. with this conspircy.

Hypothesis: Liverpool's rivals getting sent off is as common as the sun coming up in the morning.

Originally posted by Angry Boy He didn't need a replay to see Bosingwa's studs being planted in Benayoun's back - the linesman had his flag up but Riley didn't even bother consulting him.
The Lampard tackle happened quickly but I thought Riley was going to punish Alonso as I'd seen clearly that Lampard had taken the ball.

Every time I watch a game with Riley ras ref he gives me a headache. I'm convinced he was victim of something nasty at some public school for being a completly useless twonk at physical contact sports, and is now wreaking his revenge.
I can live with chelsea being below par, I can live with drogba being a petulant child on £100k a week, I can live with the best manager we've ever had getting the sack for being more popular than the owner, and I can live with Liverpool beating us; but I cannot take anymore of Mike Riley pansy-arsed refereeing. He is the new Graham Poll.

There are patterns all over the place, this is just one.
I'm more interested in this pattern.
1989 Michael Thomas scores THAT GOAL and Arsenal win the League at Anfield in the last kick of the game.

True, referees mystakes are part of our beautiful game!
Although poor Pedro Mendes who "didn't score" possibly the best goal anyone has ever scored against Man U won't agree!
But in this case the sending off didn't matter, Chelsea were rubbish up to that point anyway, I was hoping they'd hold on for a 0-0 draw but it was a very well deserved win for Liverpool...counting down the days to March 14th!!!!!!!!

i dissagree, people lives are at 'steak' - a poor refereeing decision can cost millions in todays game.
Thats what makes footy the best sport in the world !!!!
er no.
this is what makes football the best sport in the world.
The FA has responded regarding the Bosingwa incident and will take no action based on the FA rule that if the referee in the game is aware of the event in question at the time that it happened then they cannot punish the offending player additionally. Mike Riley has told the FA that he witnessed the event as it happened and decided to take no action.
Quite a silly rule. Something rotten in the state of Football.
I haven't heard anything yet about the possibility of Lampard's red card being overturned.
