i didn't watch the game but if there wasn't any contact between Reina and Perch then Perch should be suspended as well! how do players like that call themselves men??

was Enrique good in goal? i always find it funny when outfield players go in goal, start diving around and clearing corners!

I agree I expected Liverpool to be in the top 4 this season and I watched the game and Liverpool had chances, so it wasn't a one sided game. I just watched the replay were Reina was sent off, no contact from Reina on Perch, so Perch should have been sent off, but Carrol could have been sent off too for diving, I know I said he fell over in an earlier post, but I watched the replay it looked like a dive from Carrol

He looked liked like he didn't want to score pass his boyhood club,so bottled it with the dive

I predicted the right result

temp post

the FA are a disgrace. they are bringing the game into disrepute by allowing diving and cheating to go on

get rid!

When there are incidents like that between Reina and Perch, there should be a panel of five people on a Monday, who look at a replay and if they see an incident that a referee has missed, then the player should be banned for a number of games.

Some of my football friends tell me I'm a little extreme, when I say that if a player dives three or four times in his career, they should be banned for life. You have to be hard on the players with punishments in order to get rid of cheating in the game, because its a cancer to the game that needs to be cut out

Defo,a bit extreme on the ban front but I get your point

I'm hearing Liverpool fans complaining about the referee,but not only can we not win ugly we can't even loose pretty!

Maybe if you dive 3 times you get a 10 game ban and if you do it three times again diving another 10 game ban, that seems a little less harsh than the lifetime ban

Again,I agree in principle but with those sort of bans they'll be no football

The game could have been completely different if Carrol didn't fall over, when through on goal. I must also say Cisse, Ben Arfa and Perch have been outstanding in the second half of the season

Maybe the second half of the season but not the second half of that game, bit naughty, he acted like Reina knocked him off his Perch....

"PENALTY!!!!....... Oh!, if you don't wanna play for us just fuck off!!!". Was my thoughts on it.

We've got nothing to complain about this season other than our own tactics, we've been shit, I don't care what other Reds say about the possible two cups, our league form is what tells the true story over the full season & I can't remember the last time we were this far off the first place team, yeah it's normally about 18 points but we're 31 off with the Monday night game still to come.

The players who dive & don't get anything for it i.e. Andy Carroll are shown as muppets but the ones who manage to con the ref should get a yellow.
Depending on the impact it has on a game, say a player dives for a pen & his team win 2-1 then he should get an automatic 1 game ban & if it results in a player being sent off i.e. Pepe Reina then the player who dived should get the same punishment. Refs/linesmen should also get a ban if the dive was obvious.
