Corruption not so easy to spot.
Well it was today and i kept saying over & over L.S did not control the ball with his hand to score your winner against MANSFIELD

Cheating against a Non League team now. Clearly handball and goal should have been disallowed. The fault lies with officials yet again for not giving the right decision.

Gives Fergie a bit of ammunition for Fridays press conference.

Hi

Cheating????? How can you call that cheating, the ball hit his hand. LS didnt do it purpose. Clearly the goal shouldnt have stood but thats the officials call.

Just the way officials sometimes get offside, bookings and other decisions wrong they got this wrong but calling it as cheating on LS part is strong and wrong.

I thought it was a great goal now let that be the end of it....

It was cheating and it doesn't matter how much you or BR. or any LFC fan try to butter it up it was cheating.
You know what made me laugh about this blame the officials.
Hasn't fergie been telling us that non stop.

Hi

What is not mentioned here is Klose was asked if it hit his hand and that is why he owned up if hadnt been asked then he may have just carried on.

Hi

Not trying to butter anything up just stating the truth..... the ball hit his hand ref didnt think it to be deliberate.

Cheating is a strong word in this instance its wrong, the ball hit his hand there was no intent to put it in the net....... maybe united fans are forgetting a couple of years ago when ball was 2 foot in the net and your keeper pulled ball out and kept stum or is that just selective when it concerns us and LS.

What about players who know balls gone off them for a corner and claim goal kick and other similar things is that cheating too.

when a player is offside and scores but officails get it wrong and give a goal that must be cheating too cos player didnt own up to him being offside.

Maybe we wont need the officials as we can rely on players to be honest and officiate the game themselves.

The minority who are calling LS a cheat have probably never played the game.

Who's been selective you bring up somthing that happened 4 or 5 years about united's keeper,, the ball being over the line what about rvp who put the ball over the line and it was kicked out now who's been selective.
BTW im one of the majority who called him a cheat and yes i did play the game till i got my leg smashed in that finished my playing days.

[aftermath]

C`mon guys, saurez was not cheating, the ball came back at his hand ( did you see his reaction ) he really thought at the time it was gonna be disallowed for handball, but when the goal was allowed , what do you expect him to do ?

It would be nice for a player to say " hold on ref that is no way a goal, i handled the ball " , but it didnt happen and i would have done the same, if it had been one of our players that did that , i am sure we would accept the goal.

Whether we like it or not Saurez is a good player, just his past reputation has let him down for cheating, He is the 1 and only player that is maybe keeping Liverpools head above water this season..

Hi

Soz to hear about your leg. I wasnt being selective I was just pointing something out, making a comparison that players reactions are on auto sometimes and these things happen and when its so obvious you expect the officials to call it which LS seemed to think it would but it didnt so what do you expect him to do eh............ besides isnt this you being selective when it comes to LS.

I totally agree that the goal shouldnt have stood and all im saying is calling him a cheat in this instance is the wrong choice of words.

i think the point he was making was that all the scouse lot continually cry every week about utd or fegie owning ref's and getting every decision going

whilst forgetting al the dubious decisions they get


swings and roundabouts we get decisions that are correct and incorrect like every ****er else

What does anyone make about the persistent rumours regarding Lampard, Cole, Zaha and Fellani

I think on a free Lampard and Cole would both be decent additions to the squad not sure either would happen but expect Lampard to be more likely than Cole

If scholes leaves Lampard makes perfect sense he is past his best but can still do a job and could be utilised well over a season

Cole would bring great competion at left back.

Zaha i admit dont know much about him a prospect a gamble

Fellani if its true he has release clause whats took us so long to notice him he has been great for Everton and not just this season either i really like him tbh and if i could pick one player in the EPL to bolster our team he would be it

our midfields been crying out for the last few year for a new spark and for me he fits the bill

if its us or Chavski we should pull out all the stops


give em nani and rooney back

Reds duo ready for return

Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed both Nani and Anderson will be in the squad for the clash with Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Phil Jones is also fit again, but Sir Alex says he is more likely to be involved in Wednesday's FA Cup replay against West Ham.

Wayne Rooney could make a return against the Hammers as well having missed the last four games after picking up a knee injury.

"I'm hoping Wayne will start training today actually, in which case he won't be far away," the boss told reporters on Friday. "I don't think it's a big issue but it will help him along. The injury is quite straightforward so if he starts today we should have him available for Wednesday's game.

"Nani's back in training and will be in the squad on Sunday. Phil Jones is back, although I think Wednesday is more likely for him. Anderson has been back training for 10 days so he'll be in the squad on Sunday.

"All in all, we're in a healthy situation. How long it will last I don't know, but it's good to have them back.

"It's a derby game - it's intense, emotional," added the United manager. "Everything you can think of in a derby game will be there on Sunday. We go into the game in reasonable form."

Nice news
