Everton 1 Liverpool 2 - as clear a rigged match as you're likely ever to see.

Pleasant and unpatronising
TBH, the England try that turned out to not be a try reminded me again to not buy into the tv-encouraged view that you can trust tv images - no you can't.
Ref's decision is final, play to the whistle, don't complain, job done.

It is not Laughable, Lescott was trying that the whole match, backing into people to win a penalty, he tried it with Finnan earlier, well done to the ref for not giving it.aylee said:
All this from Everton is to try and distract attention away from a pathetic home performance, hoof the ball all day long, one shot on target the whole match.

No, proof the world-class whinging from the Blueshite has had it's effect.

Um.. no, as would be obvious had you an ounce of sense. I dont mind banter between fans but anyone who thinks Lescott dived for the second appeal is an idiot, given how blatant it was.
Clattenburg gave one of the worst referreeing performances in recent memory, though sadly it seems all of his decisions not only seemed to favour one side, but also were caught on camera for all to see. I just hope the FA have the decency to publish his report on the match so we can see his perspective on things. Lets also hope that this match is the one that forces the FA to bring in replays available to the referee, as well.

It was a clear case of backing into a defender and them both falling over.agricola said:
I thought, if anything the ref was biased towards everton, the amount of free kicks that seemed to be going your way in the second half.

At FA HQ.
FA Lackey: Bad news Mr Barwick sir. Everton are whinging about Clattenburg's performance on Saturday.
Barwick: Everton? Who are they?
FAL: They're a Premier League football side sir.
B: Are you sure?
FAL: Yes sir. They're one of those other teams. You know apart from your favourite four.
B: Oh I see. And they're whining about young Clattenburg, y'say?
FAL: Yes sir. They say he's got his nose so far up Steven Gerard's ars...
B: Thank you Lackey! Well this is serious. Make sure Clattenburg is suspended for the next game, Lackey. Can't have teams whinging, even if I have never heard of them...
I've just signed a petition to get Phil Neville's latest red card overturned. It truly was a bizarre decision by the referee. I love it when the Nevilles give away hilarious handballs against Liverpool that result in winning goals. You know what sport their sister plays don't you?
Anyway, is it true that this year's Merseyside Derby DVD release by Everton will be called "My toffees were robbed"?

oh, thought you were dead
As I said on the main RedThread, 3 points for the Reds, an eternity of whinging and excuses for the blues. Sleater's right - Everton hardly threatened, yet they were hard done by. 
Clattenberg added to the list along with Poll, Thomas et al

the above article from the Echo provides interesting detail on just why Clattenberg undoubtedly favoured the RS on Saturday.

I can't believe they managed to write a whole article on that statement.
Clutching at straws comes to mind with some media writer's these days.
Of course i'm sure there won't be any dodgy decisions for the rest of the season that go Everton's way in creating a goal that maybe should never have been. I'm sure Moyes won't be complaining when Yakubu net's when he is 3 yards offside, or Andy Johnson 'falls' in the box to earn yet another penalty.

to be honest though Larry, we should have won the game by at least 3 goals, then there wouldn't be so much bleating.
How do you work that out? One of the rules of football is that only chances that end up in the net count. If you don't have players who can put the ball in the net (Hyppia aside) you shouldn't have won anything.

The ref had a good game.
I cite clear, measured evidence of exactly why Clattenberg was biased--and all you can do is come out with the above crap. You are neither honest, nor funny, but your attitude explains very well why you RS are hated. The joke is, nexct time one decision goes against you (never mind 4) and you'll be on here whining.

What do you mean have to rely, one of the penalties was a hand ball on the line.agricola said:

I thought that debate came from having players who could pt the ball in the back of the net, let alone get them on target. If we scrub Hyypia's own goal, that would make it 1-0.
This is all a bit silly now don't you think.
Time to move on.
I notice my comments about Johnson constantly falling over in the penalty box have been brushed aside without comment.
sleaterkinney said:
Oh, obviously! That was why both of the Liverpool player's arms are clearly visible wrapped tightly around Lescott and preventing him from getting the ball??
I saw the Hibbert incident again later on Setanta LiverpoolTV, and even their own commentators were embarassed enough to say that a red card was too harsh a penalty.
