First off, this post destroys any credibility you have. How is anyone supposed to believe they can have an unbias conversation with you when you spew bile like this.

secondly, It was a few fans, and then spurs and chelsea fans together booed them.

thirdly, an fa cup game against 2 london teams has NOTHING to do with hillsborough and to force them into a minutes silence (after their ridiculous match scheduling) was a disaster waiting to happen. They were doing a jibe at the FA but as liverpool do they think its all about them. They don't force a minutes silence for any other disaster anniversary, so why this one? Just badly handled all around.

fourthly, just educate yourself about OTHER clubs histories before coming up with utter rubbish. And if barcelona do beat us and you celebrate as a barca fan I will laugh at you.

You think courts have all the time in the world for small cases like this? And the matter was investigated by the FA for a long time before being handed over (read: dumped) on the police, who then took a long time to come to pretty much no decision, handing it along the line to the court to deal with.

I was horrified when sky hired him, but his commentary (I don't get to see any of his punditry) has been excellent. And since he criticized luiz the guy has been solid . I have been pleasantly surprised at how good and unbias his commentary is, from someone you'd expect to be the most bias based on his playing career.

As a united fan i was a little worried that he would come across as super biased and make it harder for us however his unbias is actually really impressive, he hides it well because deep down we all know who he favours!

He basically said Young's penatly vs villa was a pen, However it was also a dive, The defenders first leg went out and hit youngs leg, which makes it a pen however young then proceeded to dive to make sure it was a pen. He showed at least 4-5 examples of this with clips over the last 3 weeks, he then showed where players had NOT gone down and not got a pen, which is really sad! because it sort of shows you have to go down otherwise you wont get anything.
He then showed clips of people going down a bit easy however there was contact or incoming tackle which they could not avoid and they chose to collapse to make sure a free kick was given however they got booked for "diving"

Its basically impossible now becasue their are 3 or 4 situations and your screwed if you do, and screwed if you dont.
situations:

1) tackle comes in and contact is made and you go down easy - pen and a dive :\
2) tackle comes in and contact is made and you dont go down - nothing (you may also be off balance and miss your chance)
3) tackle comes in and it could be a leg breaker etc so you start to go down prior to contact - sometimes pen, sometimes dive and a booking..
4) tackle comes in - no contact however it means your now off balance because you had to jump it or dodge it, .. if you go down ppl say dive but according to the rules its a pen because your path has been changed .. pen?


its screwed up now and its basically unfixable

Players like young and saurez disgust me, but defenders need to wise up and basically not make challenges in the box and just shepard the players. I doubt diving will be eradicated from the game as refs can never prove that a player went down off his own free will as opposed to the challenge unless there is no contact

I agree with points on Gary Neville, he is at first like WTF why sky hired him, but he is not as biast as i thought he would be, he gives great points. I however still miss Andy Gray dont think you can beat him and Richard Keys, so sad they had to be kicked out.

Well, my post could have been a lot better, I accept that, but any credibility you had went down the drain when you tried to claim they were making a point to the FA. Liverpool think it's all about them? Well when you boo a silence for 96 of our dead supporters I think it's a little about us. It's only a disaster waiting to happen if you can't keep your mouth shut for one minute, or stay on the concourse if it's really too hard to show a shred of respect to 96 people that could just as easily have been fans of any club, and who went to an FA cup semi final just like this one and never came back.

I don't see what anything I said has to do with your clubs history. And why would I celebrate as a Barca fan? I'll save my celebrations on seeing Chelsea beaten for after the final

They were making a point to the FA, and I said why, it was wrong, but don't claim all chelsea fans did it, just some drunk idiots pissed at the FA. I guess its a little about you, mostly because the FA bent to your will and let you dictate to them when to schedule games and how everyone must give respect to their tragedy above everyone elses. Hillsborough was over 20 years ago, coupled with the FA letting liverpool telling them when they will play even though chelsea has a CL final, and then still doing the minutes silence after aggravating a group of fans they KNOW has some bad eggs is not a good idea. But it was a small minority that everyone else (including chelsea fans) have condemned.

Liverpool should take a leaf from uniteds book, who play on the date of the munich anniversary, because what better way to honor the fallen than a fa cup semi final scouse derby.

edit: they weren't booing. There was a minority chanting, but then they got booed by everyone.

no point continuing this though, because an agreement wont be reached. But bring it may 5th, then maybe you can get revenge for the loss may 8th

I'd say that fundamental problem comes from playing all the semi finals at Wembley anyway, getting two teams from merseyside down to London to play a semi is just stupid, and it makes the final less special for me.

Wigan are on their annual survival run right now. In the past 5 games, they've beaten Liverpool, Stoke, Man Utd, and now Arsenal. Plus, they lost to Chelsea off of 2 offside goals. Impressive stuff.

Pretty impressive stuff from Wigan! Who would have imagined Wigan climbing out of the bottom against the opposition they had.
