Man City vs Liverpool | Carling Cup Semi Final | Wednesday |

"It was a clear winner of a tackle."

Regarding Barry, his positioning is spot on. That's what allows him to compete at this level.

Not specifically. Fouls are grouped in three categories...

Careless: Just a foul, no card
Reckless: Yellow card
Excessive Force: Red card

Two footed tackles are considered excessive force. Remember, a foul can still be called if you don't make contact.

We usually have low attendance in the cup, not just this game. Tend to sell out every league game though.

Pretty bad support although i can't talk as a Bury supporter..

Yeah but your support is proportionate to the league you're in, so it's not fair to criticize comparatively.

This league has a mix for crowds though tbf you get like Sheffield Wednesday who get massive crowds then shitty clubs like Rochdale.

Damn. Nicely done, Liverpool.

I understand the rules with the two footed tackle and all, but he didn't even touch Lescott. I didn't see Kompany's so I can't say to it, but that was never a red for Johnson.

Dzeko should be punished for that embarrassing dive. That's pathetic.

Edit: Only saw the last few minutes. Haha what the fuck Joe Hart were those saves just unbelievable or what? Dude on my phone giving updates said two world class saves in the first 15.

Nasri won the argument, I'd rather be top of the league than win the first leg of a game 1-0.

CM Monk wrote:Not sure if this has been posted

Liverpool fans shouldn't be talking though.

Feel a bit bad for him, like invasion of privacy. Didn't seem too happy about it.

We all have the moments when we earn the right to mock.

I know what you mean. I've often thought I'd shout shit to footballers if I saw them, but I reckon if I ever did I'd bottle it and probably just be friendly.

When do Celebrity's/Footballer's get privacy?

Who got sent off?

Nobody.

Jay Spearing, spat at Joleon Lescott for a straight red.

Damn it, we could have done something special.

I once made a mate of mine believe that Andy Carroll had got a straight red in an England game for punching someone, because he went to the toilet when he got subbed, it took him like 2 days to realize it was a lie.

at that video. Don't understand why Nasri put his window down anyway, moron. What legends.

So did someone not get sent off, but people think he should have?

Balotelli should have been sent off though.

Maybe he thought they were fans and just wanted to talk to him, so he tried to be nice and let them. Can't really call him a moron for that.

I read it as he got a red card for punching someone because he got stabbed in the toilet.

Suppose, I'm just a bitter man.

I like Nasri.

Why?

I don't like you. I feel liking Nasri is a perfect reason to be chosen as an enemy.

I didn't really like Nasri when he was at Arsenal, but I like him now.

I'm a hypocrite? So is everyone.
