A cracking game of end to end stuff.

Sterling and gerrard could have been sent off. Webb didn't. Suarez should have had a penalty, but then so should ozil, and no ones milking that one. Sky et al just seem to have ignored it (about five minutes after the suarez non event).

May be if Suarez had just fallen over, he might have got it, but theatrical?

Oh, and if agger wanted sanogos shirt that badly, he should have asked, instead of trying to take it off him all game.

Why, with the finances available, can footy refereeing not be on an equal par to Rugby. the reffing in the six nations etc. is fantastic.
you may not agree with the ref, but at least you know his thinking /reasoning for the decision.

Respect is a big difference

Rugby players show respect to the officials regardless of the decision

Footballers don't and never will

If its not given then it should be imposed , just lay the law down at the start of a season , take the choice out of the players hands , have retrospective punishment for cheating etc

people say its not at grass roots so its not at senior level , i think its the other way around , if kids see their idols respecting refs and each other they will follow suit

If reffing was like rugby, the endless "hasbeens" who are paid lots of money to give their biased opinion would be unemployed, which would be a step in the right direction.
The amount of money involved, speed of the game, now is far far too much for one mans naked eye and his two gimps to be able to officiate without outside help.

Totally agree but the governing body haven't got the bottle to impose themselves

Certainly not against the big teams

Too much money riding on it ( and the FA get a big chunk of that money )

Totally missed the point

Regardless of the team and the player - that was as blatant a penalty as you can get and right under the nose of the ref

If he can't spot that is a penalty then he is clearly incapable of doing the job

To turn the focus onto the player is poor and just giving people an opportunity to once again have a dig at the player - despite his behaviour being impeccable this season
