U21s Semi Final: United vs. Liverpool

[Nanderson]

First penalty wasn't debatable at all, clear peno. Second less clear cut but he did bundle into the back of him and didn't touch the ball. Can see why it was given.

 

[Jimy_Hills_Chin]

Januzaj having a good game.

He has really upped his work rate and is making tackles too. Highly impressive. Definitely ready for first team football next year at Championship level.

 

[Joemo]

Nasty tackle from Coady. fecking twat.

He barely touched him.

 

[Plechazunga]

Some nice stuff from United

Several of the Scouse players have a Gerrard/Carragher/Skrtel/Spearing hunchback/Lurch/Frankenstein/thing thing going on.

 

[Nanderson]

He barely touched him.

Just saw a replay, you're probably right. Though the second one looked like it was the right decision, the first was dubious.

No it wasn't, it was clear as day.

 

[Elliott]

There will be a red card in this for certain

Absolutely. No way one of these undisciplined cnuts won't lose his head as their exit draws near.

 

[Joemo]

Connor Coady to kick out at somebody in the 85th minute.

They look inbred. There is no two ways about it.

Went over to RAWK to see if they're complaining about the referee being too harsh on Liverpool's two-footed tackles...

Has anyone noticed that in all of our games against them, despite the protests "But their side is just big and strong, and ours is technically superior", that Januzaj has been amongst the best 2 or 3 players on the pitch in each game?

Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance

First penalty highly debatable, not sure on second one either. Ref looks totally unfit, would like to see Coady's tackle again, might have been lucky to get away with that.

United passing the ball around a lot better.

Reminds me of this old gem:

"I was disappointed with the referee, I must say, he just wasn't fit enough for a game of that stature. The fitness of both [sets of] players, the pace of the game, demanded a referee who was fit. He's not fit. I don't think he's fit.

It's an indictment of our game that we see referees from abroad are fit as butcher's dogs. We've got some good referees in our country who are fit. But he wasn't fit. He didn't add any time on for the goal we scored [in stoppage time]. He played four minutes and two seconds' injury time. There should have been another 30 seconds. But he was actually walking up the pitch after the [final] goal, needing a rest.

He was taking 30 seconds to book a player, he was taking a rest. I think he's taking a rest, writing down the names on his card and taking 30 seconds for a booking; it's ridiculous."

(I get the feeling I'm going to start finding little SAF anecdotes for everything now )

On topic I think they were both penalties tbh.

 

[Nanderson]

No it wasn't, it was clear as day.

Nah, it wasn't. I'd probably have given it, but no way was it clear as day. More awkward on the defenders part, which can still result in a pen.

 

[Plechazunga]

Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance

.....Daniel Agger, Barragan, Dossena... can't think of one for Acceptance so I'll just put Josemi.

 

[Solius]

What's the turnout like for this? Good crowd?

 

[Joemo]

Looks decent. Some good singing going on as well.

 

[pocco]

We've not got going at all this half.

 

[Plechazunga]

Let's be honest, this ref is something of a homer.

 

[Elliott]

Fat and yellow?

 

[JakeC]

Who's wearing number 9? great play

 

[Joemo]

Hat-trick for Cole! 3-0

 

[Brightonian]

Lovely, lovely goal from Cole there.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Hat trick for Larnell Cole. 3-0

Lou.

 

[Brightonian]

Januzaj a good step ahead of any Liverpool player whenever he goes for a dribble.

 

[Decotron]

hahahaha

 

[Joemo]

See you Scouceface

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Flanagan sent off. They are losing control.

 

[JakeC]

 

[Top]

Lou.

Of course, force of habit.

 

[Brightonian]

What the feck was that red for?

RAWK are gonna love this!

 

[Verminator]

Liverpool discipline is shocking.
I didn't realize they trained it.

 

[EDogen]

Too good

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Argy Bargyl

 

[Dion]

Deserved it as well, it's a bloody reserve match and he's behaving like a complete tit.

 

[pocco]

Go on adnan!!!!

 

[Joemo]

Take Adnan off. Don't want him getting sent off and missing the final.

 

[Decotron]

hand bags.
