i think once his arm went out in a blocking fashion he was always liable jammer.

for me the pen was very harsh. if it was the other way round we would all be moaning, i know i would be anyway

Why would a player make a tackle in the penalty area with his two arms up if he wasn't hoping to make a block with them and maybe get away with it? Anyway we deserved to win the match and it was a gutsy, high energy, high tempo performance all round from our lads. Kuyt had one of his better games for some time as did Henderson and Downing but Bellamy was quite simply outstanding...a great performance by everyone involved. Now bring on the other mancs on Saturday, and if we play anything like we did last night we will hammer them, I wonder will Bellamy be able to start though, and we do so much need him on the pitch. Well done LFC and a well deserved visit to Wembley.

It was a clear penalty. Sure it hit his legs first but what on earth is he flapping his arms like that in the box? Penalty, no doubt about it.

Same thing I've been wondering since the start of the season, Annefield. They all slide in spread more like a keeper than a defender, and the decision never goes for the attacking side because "it's natural". It's as natural as Pamela Anderson's tits.

Agreed it was a penalty. Hands up like that = intent.

He posted this pic aswell... not a bad squad there when you look at it.

No it wasn't a penalty you dont fall over with your arms by your sides. But thats football sometimes clear pens you dont get them

Not a penalty for me as he slid in to block and that's just where his arms went to balance him. If it was arms first then it's a penalty whether it's intentional or not but considering it hit his leg first it's a very harsh decision. Regardless, we deserved to go through and completely outplayed them.

Well that one was stuck up you wasn't it! Well done to all the lads.
