We were the better team by a country mile today. We were outplayed, not by Bolton, but by the officiating staff.
Did you see the frigging linesman?
For the free kick against Reina, he was off the line of play by a good ten yards. Enough so that he could not have made the judgement he did. As soon as he raised the flag, he sidestepped several yards and gestured to the referee that he was in line.
He cheated, pure and simple. He lied to the referee.
After that, we were chasing the game. The first goal is the most important in any match, as it completely changes the complexion of the game. We left gaps at the back because we were trying to attack Bolton. The referee completely failed in his job, which was to prevent fouls and dangerous play. For instance, Crouch got a yellow card for a challenge. Granted, he was late, but there was no intent other than to win the ball. Before that, Diouf had hacked at Finnan's legs when he was seeing a ball out of play. No free kick. Two Bolton players slid two-footed into Finnan without seeing the ball, no yellow cards whatsoever.
Today's officiating was disgraceful. The first goal allowed Bolton to pile players into defence and hit us on the break. I wouldn't lose a night's sleep to see the linesman involved banished to the Unibond league for what can only be described as a robbery.
i understand your frustration mate but we cant only blame the officials, the fact is we didnt score and we were inept today in all departments
We didn't score because Bolton played with eleven men behind the ball to defend their advantage.
If they didn't have that advantage, it would have been a completely different game.
The linesman lied through his teeth to give them that advantage.
Explain to me again how we lost through no fault of the officials.

Agreed. I have seen Marsielle twice since Ramadan started and its been no surprise that Ribery, Nasri, Taiwo, and Nang have been off the pace. All of them are Muslim.
i know its fasting month but there are circumstances where people can eat and drink and make up the time later, like when a girl is on the blob, and i am sure that also includes sportsmen can eat and drink as long as they fast later
Well I am Muslim and your right you can make up the days but muslims dont really like to not fast. Unless you are ill and really need to take some fluids or food people will fast. The fact Islamic armies fought battles durng ramadan fasting sort of makes us not really have any good reason not to fast.
TBH i think the whole thing's a bit daft, is there any point to denyin urself a nice Maccies. ahh well someone give Sissoko a burger an chips before the next match.

Survey said... WRONG!
The first disgraceful goal gave Bolton license to pack players into the goal to defend a one-nil lead, and attack on the break. Without that cushion, it would have been a very different game.
Our players couldn't do much because they packed players into the middle of the park to defend their advantage. If they didn't have that advantage, the smart money was on Liverpool to score first, big style.
So what your saying is that if we come up against teams like Bolton we dont have the resources to put it right if we go a goal behind??
I can remember two situations almost identical and both one on one's. Normally you would put your money on Bellamy to score and he didnt even look confident at all. On another occasion Stevie went on one of his storming runs and hit the side netting.
Credit to Bolton but they were still there for the taking.

ok, the free kick should not have been given, but we then failed to defend it, can we blae the linesman for that? no we cant.
can we blame the linesman for our failure to break them down? no we cant
can we blame the linesman for not being able to pass to our own players? no we cant
however you want to dress this up we were not good enough again today, thats our fault and nobody elses.things even themselves out mate, look at our penalty as SU

What a stupid and uninformed comment to make.
In future do your homework before slating religions for the sake of a football match will you.

No, you dork. I'm not saying that Liverpool don't have the resources to come from behind.
I'm saying that they should have never been put into the position where they had to come from behind.
Before the goal, it was a much more open game, and we looked by far the favourites to open the scoring. Try to deny it, if it takes your fancy, but I'd probably compare your decision-making skills to that of the linesman.
Bellamy's not confident of scoring at the moment. That much is obvious. That's why Rafa keeps playing him - if he gets one go in off his backside, the confidence will rise and his ability will shine through, much like it did with Crouchie. Rafa's attempting to play him into form. And as for Gerrard's effort, it was from an acute angle and he was always more likely to hit the side netting than score.
