Pool V's City - **** me, what a game! Ok, I'm slightly biased but that is one of the best games I've seen this season, and I include ALL of Utd's hammerings in that lol.
I still expect Pool to **** it up somehow. Hope to god Mourinho and that wanker Terry aren't the ones celebrating if Pool do bin it.
Thought Suarez could easily have gone yesterday. Minimal contact when he rolled about the ground like he'd been shot. I think the fact there was the slightest of contacts allowed the ref the 'out' to avoid sending him off. Had he not already been booked he would have seen yellow for that. He spent far too long lying on the ground rolling about like a kid for my liking. Sakho's tackle on Dzeko could well have been a penalty too. I think the fact the ref was in a bad position to see it saved him but, WTF he was thinking putting in a tackle like that when there was no danger I'll never know.
The Kompany/Suarez coming together wasn't a penalty. A little contact possibly, but not enough for a penalty.
On the other hand Skertl's hand/elbow clearance at the end was a definite penalty. Though as no City players appealed and the ref, linesman, commentators and studio gimps all missed it, I guess we can cut the ref a bit of slack. It did look like a header on first viewing.
Henderson's red was fair enough. You can't complain about a red for a tackle like that. He'll be a big loss over the next three games.
