Former top refs Dermot Gallagher and Jeff Winter have blasted the four officials who let Darren Bent's controversial 'beach ball' goal stand. And you could have a certain amount of sympathy for the Scousers, though I disagree with the sentiments that they were robbed of three points, to win three points you have to at least have scored once yourself, Liverpool never did, so there was no way they could have won whether that goal was given or not.
At best a point dropped is all they can moan amount, so in the interest of fair play if at the end of the season Liverpool lose the league by a margin of only one point this column will recognise them (unofficially of course) as premier league champions, I hope that satisfy’s the whinging Scousers, though I suspect they enjoy playing the victims.
Incidentally I think at the end of the season you could add 15 points to their tally and they still would not win the title, officially or otherwise.
You have to laugh. A Liverpool fan clearly throws a beach ball onto the pitch, into the six yard box of his own goalkeeper (why on earth would you want to do that??), and then they concede a goal. You just couldn't make it up.
ReplyDeletePersonally i fear for the safety of the kid that threw it.
Anyway's, by Christmas they'll be throwing Rafa Benitez not just onto the pitch, but out the door, so it won't matter much.
As an aside, you wouldn't see a Fulham fan throwing a beach ball onto the pitch - as the classiest set of fans around, it would more likely be a Louis Vitton hat.
Why do I believe that? Simple....We Are Fulham
